Abstract
Zinc is an essential trace element for bone growth and bone homeostasis in the human body. Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are multipotent progenitors existing in the bone marrow stroma with the capability of differentiating along multiple lineage pathways. Zinc plays a paramount role in BMSCs, which can be spurred differentiating into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, or adipocytes, and modulates the formation and activity of osteoclasts. The expression of related genes also changed during the differentiation of various cell phenotypes. Based on the important role of zinc in BMSC differentiation, using zinc as a therapeutic approach for bone remodeling will be a promising method. This review explores the role of zinc ion in the differentiation of BMSCs into various cell phenotypes and outlines the existing research on their molecular mechanism.

Abstract
With advancing age bone marrow is progressively replaced with adipose tissue, accompanied by a concomitant decline in bone mass and strength. The mechanism underlying the increase in marrow fat and bone destruction remains elusive. We found that on the way of adipogenic differentiation of marrow stromal cells, receptor activator for NF-κB ligand (Rankl) expression was induced, concomitantly with a down-regulation of osteoprotegerin, which prompted us to hypothesize that cells at a preadipocyte stage express RANKL. This concept was supported by the findings that the early adipogenic transcription factors C/EBPβ and C/EBPδ, but not the late factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, bind to the Rankl promoter and stimulate Rankl gene transcription. In fact, when cells isolated from the bone marrow of aging mice were analyzed by flow cytometry, we found that cells expressing the pre-adipocyte marker Pref-1 were RANKL-positive, and the number of these cells was increased with aging, with concomitant down-regulation of osteoprotegerin, and most importantly, that these RANKL(+)/Pref-1(+) marrow cells were capable of generating osteoclasts from bone marrow macrophages. Thus, the capacity of cells at a pre-adipocyte stage to express RANKL via C/EBPβ and C/EBPδ and to support osteoclastogenesis may account partly for the co-progression of fatty marrow and bone destruction with aging.

Abstract
The effects of water extract of Cajanus cajan (Linn.) Millsp. (Leguminosae) leaves (WECML) on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of mouse primary bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and the adipocytic trans-differentiation of mouse primary osteoblasts (OBs) were studied. The results indicated that WECML promoted the proliferation of BMSCs and OBs at most concentrations. WECML promoted the osteogenic differentiation and formation of mineralized matrix nodules of BMSCs at concentrations of 0.1, 1, and 10 microg/mL, but inhibited the osteogenic differentiation and formation of mineralized matrix nodules of BMSCs at concentration of 0.01 microg/mL. WECML inhibited the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs and adipocytic trans-differentiation of OBs at concentrations of 0.001, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 microg/mL, but had no effects at concentration of 0.01 microg/mL. The results suggest that WECML has protective effects on bone and these protective effects may be mediated by decreasing adipocytic cell formation from BMSCs, which may promote the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization function of OBs. The defined active ingredients in the WECML and the active mechanism need to be further studied.

Abstract
A series of experimental methods including 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity measurement and Oil Red O stain and measurement were employed to assess the effect of zinc ion on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of mouse primary bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) and the adipogenic trans-differentiation of mouse primary osteoblasts. The results showed that except for individual concentrations of zinc ion there was no effect on the proliferation of MSCs and osteoblasts. Zinc ion inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs at all the concentrations tested. It also inhibited adipogenic differentiation at all concentrations tested except 10(-9)mol/L. Both of the inhibition effects were attenuated with time increasing. Zinc ion depressed adipocytic trans-differentiation of osteoblasts at concentrations of 10(-11) and 10(-10)mol/L, but the effect could be reversed to promote or even be removed when concentration was increased. It suggests that the influence of zinc ion on osteogenic, adipogenic differentiation of MSCs and adipocytic trans-differentiation of osteoblasts depends on zinc ion concentrations and incubation time. The protective effects of zinc ion on bone may be mediated by modulating differentiation of MSCs away from the adipocytes and inhibiting adipocytic trans-differentiation of osteoblasts. This may in turn promote osteoblast formation and reduce secretion of cytokines which may inhibit osteoclast formation and activation. These findings may be valuable for better understanding the mechanism of the effect of zinc ion on bone.

Abstract
AIM To examine the effect of daidzin, genistin, and glycitin on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (MSC) and the adipogenic transdifferentiation of osteoblasts. METHODS MTT test, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity measurement, Oil Red O stain and measurement were employed. RESULTS Daidzin, genistin, and glycitin 1*10(-8), 5*10(-7), 1*10(-6), 5*10(-6), and 1*10(-5) mol/L all promoted the proliferation of primary mouse bone MSC and osteoblasts. Daidzin 5*10(-7) mol/L and genistin 1*10(-6) mol/L promoted the osteogenesis of MSC. Genistin 1*10(-8), 5*10(-7), 1*10(-6), 5*10(-6), and 1*10(-5) mol/L and glycitin 1*10(-8), 1*10(-6), and 1*10(-5) mol/L inhibited the adipogenesis of MSC. Daidzin, genistin, and glycitin 1*10(-8), 5*10(-7), 1*10(-6), 5*10(-6), and 1*10(-5) mol/L all inhibited the adipocytic transdifferentiation of osteoblasts. CONCLUSIONS Daidzin, genistin, and glycitin may modulate differentiation of MSC to cause a lineage shift toward the osteoblast and away from the adipocytes, and could inhibit adipocytic transdifferen-tiation of osteoblasts. They could also be helpful in preventing the development of osteonecrosis.

Abstract
In vitro osteoclast differentiation is supported by stromal cells. In order to isolate a stromal cell line that can support osteoclast differentiation, 22 cell lines were cloned from mouse bone marrow. One of these clones, TMS-14, is a line of preadipocytes that supports osteoclast-like cell formation without any bone resorbing factors; and another, TMS-12, is a line of preosteoblasts that supports osteoclast-like cell formation with bone resorbing factors such as prostaglandin E(2)(PGE(2)). The difference of these two lines for osteoclast formation was not related with their abilities of PGE(2)production, but with the expression of osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF, also called OPGL, RANKL, and TRANCE), which detected with RT-PCR, in both cell lines. In TMS-14 cells, ODF mRNA was detected with or without PGE(2). In TMS-12 cells, ODF expression was detected in the PGE(2)-treated cells alone. When TMS-14 cells were induced to undergo adipogenic differentiation in response to treatment with thiazolidinedione, a ligand and activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), the ability of TMS-14 cells to support osteoclast-like cell formation was prevented in the presence or absence of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). The gene expression of ODF in TMS-14 cells was also inhibited by treatment with thiazolidinedione. These results suggest that adipogenesis in bone marrow cells is related to the ability to support osteoclast differentiation. This is the first report of a cloned stromal cell line that can support osteoclastogenesis without the treatment with any osteotropic factors. Furthermore, this murine clonal preadipose cell line may be useful for studying senescence-dependent osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone marrow is believed to contain multipotential stromal stem cells which can differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, and myoblasts (Prockop, D. J. Science 276, 71-74, 1997). Therefore, characterization and identification of the stem-like cell within the stromal cells are important to understand bone marrow function in relation to the hematopoietic microenvironment, and repair/regeneration of tissue defects. TBR31-2 cell, a bone marrow stromal cell line established from bone marrow of transgenic mice harboring temperature-sensitive (ts) simian virus (SV) 40T-antigen gene for immortality, is induced toward both adipocytic and osteogenic cells under conditions of the inactivation of T-antigen (Okuyama, R., Yanai, N., Obinata, M. Exp. Cell Res. 218, 424-429, 1995). In this work, using a semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, mRNA expressions of tissue-specific differentiation markers for adipocyte (lipoprotein lipase), osteoblast (type I collagen and osteocalcin), chondrocyte (type II and X collagen), and muscle cell (desmin) were examined during a long-term culture of the cell. In addition, histochemical studies showed the appearance of adipocytic, osteoblastic, chondrocytic, and muscle cells during this long-term culture. Thus, TBR31-2, which has characteristics of an undifferentiated cell, has the potential to express the multipotential cell lineages. These results indicated that a multipotential progenitor cell including potential to differentiate into a muscle cell and which is situated in the mesenchymal cell lineage was first obtained.

Abstract
Information on the interconversion potential of adipocytes and other end cells characteristic of the stromal fibroblastic cell lineages, key in the understanding of bone turnover in metabolic diseases such as osteoporosis, is limited. The object of the present study was: i) to isolate relatively pure populations of adipocytes from human bone marrow; ii) to clone single adipocytes from these populations; and iii) to examine in vitro the interconversion potential of the progeny of these single-cloned adipocytes between the osteogenic and adipogenic phenotypes. Adipogenic colonies were isolated from the low-density floating fraction of normal bone marrow cells cultured in adipogenic media for 4 days. Single adipocytes were isolated and cloned by limiting dilution. Cloned adipocytes were found to dedifferentiate into fibroblast-like cells, and subsequently to differentiate into two morphologically distinct cell types: osteoblasts and adipocytes in appropriate culture systems. The adipocytic phenotype was confirmed by morphology, oil red O staining, and immunocytochemistry using antiserum to aP2. The osteogenic phenotype was confirmed by alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin immunostaining using specific osteocalcin antiserum, and formation of mineralized cell aggregates. These findings demonstrate the extent of plasticity between the differentiation of adipocytic and osteogenic cells in human bone marrow stromal cell cultures. We have shown the ability of isolated clonal adipogenic cells to redifferentiate into cells of the osteogenic and adipogenic lineage and the interconversion potential of human marrow stromal cells in vitro. These results provide further evidence that the osteogenic and adipogenic cells share a common multipotential precursor.

Abstract
Adult marrow contains mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) that have multiple differentiation potentials. A conditionally immortalized MPC clone, BMC9, has been identified that exhibits four mesenchymal cell phenotypes: chondrocyte, adipocyte, stromal (support osteoclast formation), and osteoblast. The BMC9 clone, control brain fibroblasts and another marrow-derived clone, BMC10, were isolated from a transgenic mouse (H-2Kb-tsA58) containing a gene for conditional immortality. To test for chondrogenic potential, cells were cultured in defined medium containing 10 ng/ml transforming growth factor beta and 10-7 M dexamethasone in 15-ml polypropylene tubes ("aggregate cultures"). Adipogenic potential was quantitated by flow cytometry of Nile Red-stained cells cultured for 1 and 2 weeks in medium containing isobutyl methylxanthine, indomethacin, insulin, and dexamethasone. Support of osteoclast formation was measured by quantitating multinucleated tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells in spleen cell cocultures of test clones (immortomouse clones and positive control ST2 cells) cultured in the presence of 10-7 M vitamin D3 and 150 mM ascorbate-2-phosphate. In vivo osteogenic potential was assayed by histologic examination of bone formation in subcutaneous implants, into athymic mouse hosts, of a composite of cells combined with porous calcium phosphate ceramics. The bone marrow-derived clone BMC9 has the potential to express each of the four mesenchymal characteristics tested, while brain fibroblasts, tested under identical conditions, did not exhibit any of these four mesenchymal characteristics. BMC10 cells exhibited osteogenic and chondrogenic phenotypes, but showed only minimal expression of adipocytic or osteoclast-supportive phenotypes. Clone BMC9 is, minimally, a quadripotential MPC isolated from the marrow of an adult mouse that can differentiate into cartilage and adipose, support osteoclast formation, and form bone. The BMC9 clone is an example of an adult-derived multipotential progenitor cell that is situated early in the mesenchymal lineage.

Abstract
We have used intravital microscopy to study physiologically perfused microvessels in murine bone marrow (BM). BM sinusoids and venules, but not adjacent bone vessels, supported rolling interactions of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Rolling did not involve L-selectin, but was partially reduced in wild-type mice treated with antibodies to P- or E-selectin and in mice that were deficient in these two selectins. Selectin-independent rolling was mediated by alpha4 integrins, which interacted with endothelial vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1. Parallel contribution of the endothelial selectins and VCAM-1 is not known to direct blood cell trafficking to other noninflamed tissues. This combination of constitutively expressed adhesion molecules may thus constitute a BM-specific recruitment pathway for progenitor cells analogous to the vascular addressins that direct selective lymphocyte homing to lymphoid organs.

Abstract
We characterized the formation and regulation of the gap junction in calvarial osteoblasts and in a series of subtypes from marrow stromal cells. The stromal cells included osteogenic, chondro-osteogenic, and endothelial cells. The cell coupling was measured by using fluorescence dye injected into single cells, and its migration to neighboring cells was measured. The functional coupling of cells was highly expressed by the osteoblastic cells. This process is mediated through fast changes in intracellular Ca+2 levels. Calcium ionophore (A 23,187) demonstrated an uncoupling effect on the cells. In addition, the exposure of the cells to the parathyroid hormone increased the formation of the gap junction complex; the highest level was demonstrated in the osteoblastic cells.

Abstract
We have derived a series of clonal cell lines from the bone marrow of p53-/- mice that represent different stages of osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation. All cell lines show indefinite growth potential (>300 population doublings) and have generation times of 12-20 h. These cell lines have been grouped into three categories. The least mature clones are heterogeneous and appear to contain a subpopulation of stem cells, which can spontaneously generate foci that contain either adipocytes or mineralizing osteoblasts. The second category of clones are homogeneous and clearly correspond to mature osteoblasts because they express high levels of the anticipated osteoblastic markers in a stable fashion and cannot differentiate into adipocytes even in the presence of inducers. The clones in the third category are the most unique. Initially they appeared to correspond to mature osteoblasts because they express alkaline phosphatase in a homogeneous manner, secrete type I collagen, show a significant cyclic adenosine monophosphate response to parathyroid hormone, secrete osteocalcin, and mineralize extensively after only 4-7 days. However, in contrast to the mature osteoblasts, these clones can be induced to undergo massive adipocyte differentiation, and this differentiation is accompanied by the complete loss of expression of all osteoblastic markers except alkaline phosphatase. These observations indicate that some cells that have acquired all of the characteristics of mature osteoblasts can be diverted to the adipocyte pathway. Further characterization of these clones may be particularly relevant to osteoporotic conditions where increased adipocyte formation appears to occur at the expense of osteoblast formation.

Abstract
This study was designed to demonstrate the expression and production of osteocalcin, a bone Gla-protein (BGP), by marrow stromal cells. We were able to accomplish this by using a series of marrow stromal cell lines (MBA cells). A unique expression of the osteocalcin was detected by the adipocyte 14F1.1 cells. This was at the mRNA level by Northern blot and by RT-PCR analysis. The secreted protein was quantitated by radioimmunoassay (RIA), in conditioned medium (CM) harvested from these cultured cells. These findings offer the first evidence that marrow adipocyte 14F1.1 derived cells express mRNA for osteocalcin and produce the protein.

Abstract
Cells of U937, a human monocytic leukemia cell line, differentiate into macrophages by treatment with 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), whereas cells treated with 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] continue to grow without undergoing differentiation. When U937 cells were successively treated with TPA and 1,25-(OH)2D3, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cells appeared at 5 days after the treatment. These osteoclast-like cells released a soluble form of 45Ca from 45Ca-labeled bone particles. These cells were not formed when the order of treatment with TPA and 1,25-(OH)2D3 was reversed. Use of either dexamethasone or interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was effective in inhibiting the formation of these osteoclast-like cells. The expression of c-src, c-fms, and macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) was induced by TPA treatment; however, TPA-induced M-CSF gene transcription was attenuated by the subsequent addition of 1,25-(OH)2D3. Furthermore, both dexamethasone and IFN-gamma impaired the attenuation of M-CSF expression, suggesting that the transient expression of M-CSF may be important for the formation of osteoclast-like cells.

Abstract
The adipocyte is the most abundant stromal cell phenotype in adult human bone marrow. Four hypotheses may explain their function. First, adipocytes may serve a passive role, simply occupying excess space in the bone marrow cavity. Second, they may play an active role in systemic lipid metabolism. Third, adipocytes may provide a localized energy reservoir in the bone marrow. Or fourth, marrow adipocytes may contribute directly to the promotion of hematopoiesis and influence osteogenesis. This article reviews recent findings concerning bone marrow adipocyte morphology and physiology, the transcriptional and cytokine mechanisms regulating their differentiation, and the interrelationships existing between bone marrow adipocytes, hematopoiesis, and osteogenesis. Overall, these data lend support to a "plastic" model of bone marrow stromal cell differentiation; adipocytes may share common functions with stromal stem cells, osteoblasts, and hematopoietic supportive cells.

Abstract
Our aim was to study the role of various extracellular matrices (ECM) on growth and differentiation of marrow stromal cells in vitro. Morphology changes, gene expression, and enzymatic activities were monitored in stromal osteoblastic MBA-15 and adipocytic 14F1.1 cells. These stromal cells were plated on dishes precoated with different substrata, such as matrigel (basement membrane), collagen type I, and endothelial ECM, and compared with cells plated on protein-free dishes. Striking morphological differences were observed when the cells grew on these different substrata. Changes in cell shape and growth also led to differential mRNA expression and enzymatic activities. When MBA-15 cells were plated on collagen, there was a decrease in mRNA for alkaline phosphatase (ALK-P), osteopontin (OP), and osteonectin (ON), and an increase in mRNA for procollagen (I). A differential effect was noted on 14F1.1 cells, the mRNA for ALK-P increased, the expressions of OP and ON lowered, and no expression for procollagen (I) was monitored. MBA-15 cells cultured on matrigel had decreased mRNA for ALK-P and OP, while they had increased ON mRNA expression and remained unchanged for procollagen I. No change in mRNA expression by 14F1.1 cells was monitored when cultured on matrigel. Functional enzymatic activities of ALK-P markedly decreased in MBA-15 cells cultured on various substrata, and increased or were unchanged in 14F1.1 cells. An additional enzyme, neutral endopeptidase (CD10/NEP), altered differentially in both cell types; this enzymatic activity increased or was unchanged when cells were cultured on these matrices. The results indicate a specific role for different ECM on various stromal cell types and their function.
