    Notes: Synovial hyperplasia is a feature of the chronic synovitis associated with basic calcium phosphate crystals [hydroxyapatite (HA), octacalcium phosphate, tri-calcium phosphate] and calcium pyrophosphate. Each of these crystals stimulated mitosis of cultured human skin fibroblasts or canine synovial fibroblasts in a concentration-dependent fashion. We examined the effect of pure somatomedin C (Sm-C) on HA crystal induced mitogenesis. Confluent cultures of human fibroblasts were rendered quiescent by incubation in the presence of 1% platelet-poor-Sm-C free plasma (PPSCFP) for 24 hours. HA crystals stimulated thymidine incorporation 2.3-fold over control value. Addition of Sm-C significantly augmented the effect of HA crystals (P 〈 0.01). Nearly identical effects were observed in the presence of 100 μg/ml HA crystals or 15 ng/ml PDGF. Monoclonal antibodies against Sm-C had little effect on the basal 3H thymidine uptake by control cells incubated in 1% PPSCFP but blocked over 50% of the HA crystal of PDGF-induced 3H thymidine incorporation both in the presence or absence of Sm-C. The incomplete blocking suggested either the presence of other “progression” factors, such as insulin-like growth factor II in the conditioned media or the possibility that HA or PDGF in high enough dosage enabled cells to escape their dependence on Sm-C for DNA synthesis.
