Abstract
Extracellular matrix vesicles were identified and isolated from healing bone sockets. The diameters of these trilaminar membrane-invested organelles was 0.05 to OAS μm. Ca2-, Mg2+-, and K+ (EDTA)-mediated ATPases; alkaline and acid phosphatase; and pyrophosphatase activities of isolated matrix vesicles were compared with the membrane and cellular fractions. The vesicle fraction showed high alkaline phosphatase activity, which correlated with Mg2+-, and Ca2+-mediated ATPases. Pyrophosphatase activity was highest in the vesicle fraction as well. The presence of K+ (EDTA)-mediated ATPase in all the fractions indicated the occurrence of myosin. These findings were supported by electrophoretic patterns which revealed the presence of another contractile protein-actin.
