| Purpose Peripheral blood (PB) admixture should be minimized during numerical and functional, as well as cytokinetic analysis of bone marrow (BM) aspirates for research purposes. Therefore, purity assessment of the BM aspirate should be performed in advance. We investigated whether bone matrix vesicle (BMV)-bound bone alkaline phosphatase (ALP) could serve as a marker for the purity of BM aspirates. Results Total ALP activity was significantly higher in BM serum (97 (176124) U/L, median (range)) compared to PB serum (63 (5273) U/L, p < 0.001). Agarose gel electrophoresis showed a unique bone ALP fraction in BM, which was absent in PB. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the high molecular weight of this fraction, corresponding with membrane-bound ALP from bone matrix vesicles (BMV), as evidenced by electron microscopy. A serial PB admixture experiment of bone cylinder supernatant samples, rich in BMV-bound ALP, confirmed the sensitivity of this proposed quality assessment method. Furthermore, a BMV ALP fraction of ≥ 15% is suggested as cut-off value for minimal BM quality. Moreover, the BM purity declines rapidly with larger aspirated BM volumes. Conclusion The exclusive presence of BMV-bound ALP in BM could serve as a novel marker to assess purity of BM aspirates. |
