In the present investigation, evidence is presented directly implicating proteoglycans produced by the embryonic notochord in the control of somite chondrogenesis. It has been demonstrated by several histochemical techniques that during the period of its interaction with somites, the notochord synthesizes perinotochordal proteoglycans, and these proteoglycans have been shown to contain chondroitin 4-sulfate (40%), chondroitin 6-sulfate (40%), and heparan sulfate (20%). Dissection of notochords from embryos with the aid of a brief treatment with trypsin results in the removal of perinotochordal extracellular matrix materials including proteoglycans, while dissection of notochords without the aid of enzyme treatment or with a low concentration of collagenase results in their retention. There is a considerable increase in the rate and amount of cartilage formation and a corresponding 2 to 3-fold increase in the amount of sulfated glycosaminoglycan accumulated by somites cultured in association with notochords dissected under conditions in which perinotochordal materials are retained. Treatment of collagenase-dissected or freely dissected notochords with highly purified enzymes (chondroitinase ABC, AC, and testicular hyaluronidase) which specifically degrade proteoglycans causes a loss of histochemically detectable perinotochordal proteoglycans. These notochords are considerably impaired in their ability to supportin vitrosomite chondrogenesis. In addition, when trypsin-treated notochords are cultured (“precultured”) for 24 hr on nutrient agar (in the absence of somites), perinotochordal material reaccumulates. Somites cultured in association with such “precultured” notochords exhibit considerable increase in the amount of cartilage formed and a 2- to 3-fold increase in the amount of sulfated glycosaminoglycan accumulated as compared to somites cultured in association with trypsin-treated notochords which have not been “precultured.” This observation indicates that trypsin-treated notochords reacquire their ability to maximally stimulatein vitrosomite chondrogenesis by resynthesizing and accumulating perinotochordal material. Finally, “precultured” notochords treated with chondroitinase to remove perinotochordal proteoglycans are considerably impaired in their ability to supportin vitrosomite chondrogenesis. These observations are consonant with the concept that proteoglycans produced by the embryonic notochord play an important role in somite chondrogenesis.
