This report presents evidence demonstrating that chick embryo chondrocyte cultures release into the culture medium a factor(s) which itself can act on chondrocytes to promote their own differentiation. Conditioned medium (CM) stimulates the synthesis of both sulfated mucopolysaccharides, as shown by increased incorporation of35SO4or glucose-14C into hyaluronidase-sensitive material, and collagen. However, protein synthesis, DNA synthesis, and cell number are not affected. While the identity of the factor is not yet known, it is nondialyzable, trypsin-and heat-sensitive. The factor is evidently a specialized product of chondrocytes, because it is not made by unexpressed chondrocytes or differentiated pigmented retina cultures. CM works rapidly on test cultures and has a significant effect on35SO4incorporation after 2 hr of treatment. In addition, the effect is relatively stable and is not reversed when CM is replaced with fresh medium. The results are significant in that they demonstrate that chondrocytes produce a factor that promotes their own differentiation, as defined in terms of the synthesis of two distinct specialized products.
