Cartilage specimens from tibial plateaus, obtained from 1.3 osteoarthritic (OA) patients and seven controls, were selected from three regions: zone A, center of fibrinated area; zone B, area adjacent to fibrillation, and zone C, remote region of plateau. Acid and neutral metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) were extracted with 2 M guanidine. Methods were developed to selectively destroy either proteinases or TIMP to prevent cross-reaction during assay. Acid and neutral proteinases were elevated .apprx. 150% in OA; TIMP was elevated .apprx. 50%. A positive correlation (r = 0.50) was found between acid and neutral proteinase activities in OA, but not in controls. Both proteinase activities in OA, but not in controls. Both proteinases were elevated two- to threefold in zones A, B, and C. However, the self-active form of the acid metalloproteinase was elevated only in zones A and B (200%); it correlated well with the Mankin scores, whereas the total activities did not. TIMP was elevated (50%) only in zones A and B. Both the proteinase levels and the Mankin score were elevated to a greater extent in the medial, than in the lateral, compartment. Titration of TIMP against the two metalloproteinases indicates that there is a small excess of inhibitor increase to the same extent as the proteinases; the resultant excess of proteinase over TIMP may contribute to cartilage breakdown.
