John R. Farley and David J. Baylink* abstract: A skeletal growth factor was isolated and purified from demineralized human bone matrix. A dose of 6^ g/mL of the purified factor significantly increased the proliferation rate of embryonic chick bone cells in serum-free culture (292% of controls, p< 0.0001) but had no effect on embryonic chick skin cells plated at the same initial density. The factor is sensitive to inactivation by trypsin and urea, but not by collagenase, 20% butanol, or 1% mercaptoethanol. It is also resistant to inactivation by heat (stable for 15 min at 75 C) and extremes of pH (stable for 30 min at 4 C from pH 2.5 to 10.0). Purification of the active factor byselective heat and acid precipitations, molecular sieve column chromatography, and preparativepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis provided a material that was homogeneous by the criteria of high-pressure liquid chromatography, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and isoelectric focusing. The apparent molecular weight is 83 000. The purified factor increases bone cell proliferation at doses comparable to other mitogens: 0.3 Mg/mL (3.6 nM) significantly increases DNA synthesis to 231% of controls (p< 0.001). The purified factor was also active on cultured embryonic chick bones, enhancing the growth rate of tibiae and femurs, as measured by increased dry weight (185% of controls, p< 0.025) and [3H] proline incorporation (164% of control, p< 0.001), respectively. e coupling of bone formation to resorption was first suggested by clinical observations (Harris & Heaney, 1969) and subsequently verified by in vivo studies with rats (Thompson et al., 1975; Baylink & Liu, 1979). It is our concept that this skeletal coupling provides a counterregulatory mechanism for the local control of bone volume and that faulty coupling may lead to osteoporosis (Ivey & Baylink, 1981). Previous studies from this laboratory established that (a) coupling depends on a local mechanism—it occurs in vitro (Howard et al., 1980),(b) coupling is mediated by an increase in osteoblast number (Baylink et al., 1980),(c) a factor in culture medium that has been conditioned by resorbing bone in vitro will increase both the rate of bone cell proliferation and the growth of embryonic bone (Drivdahl et al., 1980a), and (d) a similarly active factor can be extracted from embryonic chick bone (Drivdahl et al., 1980b). The factor from these latter two sources has been interpreted to be a putative coupling factor that is present in bone matrix and released by bone resorption to increase os-teoblast number and thereby increase the bone formation rate. In the present studies we sought to determine whether a similar putative coupling factor was present inadult human bone matrix.
