This paper reports the effects of adding partially purified bovine thyroid calcitonin, thyrocalcitonin, to adult bovine articular cartilage cells. Thyrocalcitonin stimulated chondrocyte proliferation fourfold under low serum (0.5%) culture conditions. In serum‐free medium, thyrocalcitonin stimulated cell proliferation more than twofold. With high‐density cultures in serum‐free medium, chondrocyte glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis was stimulated 60% by thyrocalcitonin. Cell‐associated radioactivity was increased twofold. In contrast to thyrocalcitonin, addition of human and salmon calcitonin peptides as well as the thyroid hormones T3and T4had no effect on adult cartilage cell proliferation or GAG synthesis. The data reported here suggest the existence of a thyroid‐derived factor, independent of calcitonin peptides or thyroid hormones, which stimulates adult articular chondrocyte metabolism.
