Abstract
Context: It is a known fact that periodontal tissue regeneration can be achieved by the use of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Current mainstay of periodontal treatment is focusing on stem cell tissue engineering as an effective therapy, making it important to isolate PDLSCs from periodontal tissues. Aims: The present research endeavor was undertaken to elucidate a technique for isolating PDLSCs for in vivo reconstructing the natural PDL tissue. Settings and Design: The study design involves In vitro prospective study. Materials and Methods: Premolar teeth were extracted from 12 patients who were under orthodontic treatment. PDL cells were scraped from their roots. Using 10 ml of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with pH 7.2, the specimens of the periodontal tissue were transferred to laboratory where cell culture was done. Isolated stem cells were grown on 24-well microtiter plates-containing cover slips. They were incubated overnight at approximately 37°C in 95% air and 5% humidification. Anti-CD 45, CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD146 antibodies were used. After staining, cells were observed under phase-contrast microscopy and in inverted microscope. Results: The cells showed a marked growth and 90% confluence at day 6. Cells presented thin and long fibroblastic spindle morphology. Isolated PDLSCs showed colony-forming ability at the 14th day after seeding. Immunohistochemical staining of PDLSCs showed positive uptake for CD146, CD90, CD73, CD105, and negative uptake for CD45. Conclusions: The human PDLSCs can be clearly isolated and characterized by using CD90, CD73, CD146, and CD105 markers of stem cells.

Abstract
A novel synthetic method to synthesize hydroxyapatite/poly (D,L) lactic acid biocomposite is presented in this study by mixing only the precursors hydroxyapatite and (D,L) LA monomer without adding neither solvent nor catalyst. Three compositions were successfully synthesized with the weight ratios of 1/1, 1/3, and 3/5 (hydroxyapatite/(D,L) lactic acid), and the grafting efficiency of poly (D,L) lactic acid on hydroxyapatite surface reaches up to 84 %. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the hydroxyapatite particles were successfully incorporated into the poly (D,L) lactic acid polymer and X ray diffraction analysis showed that hydroxyapatite preserved its crystallinity after poly (D,L) lactic acid grafting. Differential scanning calorimetry shows that Tg of hydroxyapatite/poly (D,L) lactic acid composite is less than Tg of pure poly (D,L) lactic acid, which facilitates the shaping of the composite obtained. The addition of poly (D,L) lactic acid improves the adsorption properties of hydroxyapatite for fibronectin extracellular matrix protein. Furthermore, the presence of poly (D,L) lactic acid on hydroxyapatite surface coated with fibronectin enhanced pre-osteoblast STRO-1 adhesion and cell spreading. These results show the promising potential of hydroxyapatite/poly (D,L) lactic acid composite as a bone substitute material for orthopedic applications and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Dental pulp is a soft tissue located inside the hard part of a tooth and it contains a stem cell population that can regenerate damaged dentin and/or pulp itself. Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells that have the potential to be differentiated into a variety of cell types. Although cells cultured primarily from pulp tissue show heterogeneous phenotypes and variable efficiency in their dentinogenic differentiation, proper selection markers, which are specific to hDPSCs, are essential for the osteo/dentinogenic study of human dental pulp cells. We had previously screened a set of undifferentiation-specific cell surface antibodies of hDPSCs through decoy immunization. In this study, we show that one of these surface monoclonal antibodies, 3C4, is bound to intact pulp cells in a highly undifferentiation-specific manner. The surface antigen protein bound specifically to 3C4 antibody was identified through direct immunoprecipitation and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry as the cell proliferation-inducing protein 52/Mitofilin, which is a protein of the inner mitochondrial membrane and is a possible antagonist to maintaining mitochondrial activation during differentiation. The expression of mitofilin/3C4 antigen dramatically decreased during differentiation, and the depletion of mitofilin/3C4 antigen induced the expression of osteogenic/dentinogenic markers earlier than during normal differentiation. The 3C4-positive cells isolated by a magnetic-activated cell sorting system were differentiated with a higher efficiency than 3C4-negative cells. These results indicate that finding mitochondria-related stem cell markers is valuable to be able to identify and isolate primitive stem cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of present study was to identify characteristic and response of mouse bone marrow (BM) derived low-adherent bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) obtained by quantification of extracellular matrix (ECM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-adherent cells acquired by ECM coated dishes were termed low-adherent BMMSCs and these cells were analyzed by in vitro and in vivo methods, including colony forming unit fibroblast (CFU-f), bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), multi-potential differentiation, flow cytometry and transplantation into nude mouse to measure the bone formation ability of these low-adherent BMMSCs. Titanium (Ti) discs with machined and anodized surfaces were prepared. Adherent and low-adherent BMMSCs were cultured on the Ti discs for testing their proliferation. RESULTS The amount of CFU-f cells was significantly higher when non-adherent cells were cultured on ECM coated dishes, which was made by 7 days culturing of adherent BMMSCs. Low-adherent BMMSCs had proliferation and differentiation potential as adherent BMMSCs in vitro. The mean amount bone formation of adherent and low-adherent BMMSCs was also investigated in vivo. There was higher cell proliferation appearance in adherent and low-adherent BMMSCs seeded on anodized Ti discs than machined Ti discs by time. CONCLUSION Low-adherent BMMSCs acquired by ECM from non-adherent cell populations maintained potential characteristic similar to those of the adherent BMMSCs and therefore could be used effectively as adherent BMMSCs in clinic.

Abstract
A stem cell interacts with the neighboring cells in its environment. To maintain a living organism's metabolism, either cell-cell or cell-environment interactions may be significant. Usually, these cells communicate with each other through biological signaling by interactive behaviors of primary proteins or complementary chemicals. The signaling intermediates offer the stem cell's functionality on its metabolism. With the rapid advent of omics technologies, various specific markers by which stem cells cooperate with their surroundings have been discovered and established. In this article, we review several stem cell markers used to communicate with either cancer or immune cells in the human body.

Abstract
The identification of the molecular mechanisms controlling the degradation of regulatory proteins in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) may provide clues to promote MSC osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration. Ubiquitin ligase-dependent degradation of proteins is an important process governing cell fate. In this study, we investigated the role of the E3 ubiquitin ligase c-Cbl in MSC osteoblast differentiation and identified the mechanisms involved in this effect. Using distinct shRNA targeting c-Cbl, we showed that c-Cbl silencing promotes osteoblast differentiation in murine and human MSC, as demonstrated by increased alkaline phosphatase activity, expression of phenotypic osteoblast marker genes (RUNX2, ALP, type 1 collagen), and matrix mineralization in vitro. Coimmunoprecipitation analyses showed that c-Cbl interacts with the transcription factor STAT5, and that STAT5 forms a complex with RUNX2, a master transcription factor controlling osteoblastogenesis. Silencing c-Cbl decreased c-Cbl-mediated STAT5 ubiquitination, increased STAT5 protein level and phosphorylation, and enhanced STAT5 and RUNX2 transcriptional activity. The expression of insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a target gene of STAT5, was increased by c-Cbl silencing in MSC and in bone marrow stromal cells isolated from c-Cbl deficient mice, suggesting that IGF-1 contributes to osteoblast differentiation induced by c-Cbl silencing in MSC. Consistent with these findings, pharmacological inhibition of STAT5 activity, or neutralization of IGF-1 activity, abrogated the positive effect of c-Cbl knockdown on MSC osteogenic differentiation. Taken together, the data provide a novel functional mechanism by which the ubiquitin ligase c-Cbl regulates the osteoblastic differentiation program in mesenchymal cells by controlling Cbl-mediated STAT5 degradation and activity.

Abstract
The aim of this paper was to explore the optimal method of isolating, purifying, and proliferating Mongolian sheep bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and their multiple differentiation potentialities. Bone marrow (BM) was punctured from ∼1-year-old sheep, and BMSCs were harvested through gradient centrifuge and adherent cultures. Analysis of the growth of the passage 1, 5, and 10 cultures revealed an S-shaped growth curve with a population doubling time of 31.2 h. Karyotyping indicated that the chromosome number in the Mongolian sheep was 2n = 54, comprising 26 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY). RT-PCR demonstrated that OCT4, SOX2, and Nanog genes at passage 3 were positively expressed. The P3 BMSCs were cultured in vitro under inductive environments and induced into adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, neural cells, and cardiomyocytes. Their differentiation properties were confirmed by histological staining, such as oil red, Alizarin red, hematoxylin-eosin, toluidine blue, and periodic acid schiff. RT-PCR showed that the specific genes to be induced were all expressed. This proves that the isolated cells are indeed the BMSCs and also provides valuable materials for somatic cell cloning and transgenic research.

Abstract
Application of autologous cells is considered for a broad range of regenerative therapies because it is not surrounded by the immunological and ethical issues of allo- or xenogenic cells. However, isolation, expansion, and application of autologous cells do suffer from variability in therapeutic efficacy due to donor to donor differences and due to prolonged culture. One important source of autologous cells is mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which can differentiate toward endothelial-like cells, thus making them an ideal candidate as cell source for tissue vascularization. Here we screened MSCs from 20 donors for their endothelial differentiation capacity and correlated it with the gene expression profile of the whole genome in the undifferentiated state. Cells of all donors were able to form tubes on Matrigel and induced the expression of endothelial genes, although with quantitative differences. In addition, we analyzed the effect of prolonged in vitro expansion on the multipotency of human MSCs and found that endothelial differentiation is only mildly sensitive to expansion-induced loss of differentiation as compared to osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Our results show the robustness of the endothelial differentiation protocol and the gene expression data give insight in the differences in endothelial differentiation between donors.

Abstract
Chemo-mechanotransduction, the way by which mechanical forces are transformed into chemical signals, plays a fundamental role in many biological processes. The first step of mechanotransduction often relies on exposure, under stretching, of cryptic sites buried in adhesion proteins. Likewise, here we report the first example of synthetic surfaces allowing for specific and fully reversible adhesion of proteins or cells promoted by mechanical action. Silicone sheets are first plasma treated and then functionalized by grafting sequentially under stretching poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains and biotin or arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptides. At unstretched position, these ligands are not accessible for their receptors. Under a mechanical deformation, the surface becomes specifically interactive to streptavidin, biotin antibodies, or adherent for cells, the interactions both for proteins and cells being fully reversible by stretching/unstretching, revealing a reversible exposure process of the ligands. By varying the degree of stretching, the amount of interacting proteins can be varied continuously.

Abstract
We have recently developed new 3D hydroxyapatite/collagen (50/50 wt%) scaffolds using a biomimetic synthesis approach. The first in vitro tests performed in static culture showed a limited cell colonization and survival inside the scaffolds. The current study evaluated in dynamic culture the scaffold changes and colonization by human immortalized osteoprogenitor STRO-1A cells. The stability of our scaffolds in the different culture conditions (static, low flow, high flow) was validated by the maintenance of the pore diameter and interconnectivity over 21 d. The colonization and the viability of STRO-1A cells inside the scaffolds were further evaluated on histological sections. It was demonstrated that only the high flow-rate allowed cell survival after 7 d and a complete scaffold colonization. Moreover, the colonization and viability were different in function of the scaffold position inside the perfusion container. The differentiation markers (alkaline phosphatase activity, type I procollagen and osteocalcin synthesis) of STRO-1A cells were analyzed in the culture medium after 7, 14 and 21 d. The low flow-rate increased significantly the three markers compared with static conditions. In contrast, markers were reduced in high flow-rate compared with low flow-rate. To explain this surprising result, we hypothesized that the different molecules were actually adsorbed on the scaffold because of the closed circuit used in the high flow-rate conditions. In summary, this study provides original results on the influence of flow rate but mostly of the circuit used (open/closed) on the structural modifications and cell colonization of collagen-HA scaffolds.

Abstract
Bone loss occuring with unloading is associated with decreased
osteoblastogenesis and increased bone marrow adipogenesis, resulting
in bone loss and decreased bone formation. Here, we review the present knowledge on the role of PPARγ in the control of osteoblastogenesis and bone mass in skeletal unloading. We showed that PPARγ positively promotes adipogenesis and negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells in unloading, resulting in bone loss. Manipulation of PPARγ2 expression by exogenous TGF-β2 inhibits the exaggerated adipogenesis and corrects the balance between osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis induced by unloading, leading to prevention of bone loss. This shows that PPARγ plays an important role in the control of bone mass in unloaded bone. Moreover, this opens the possibility that manipulation of PPARγ may correct the balance between osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis and prevent bone loss,
which may have potential implications in the treatment of bone loss in clinical
conditions.

Abstract
Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) have the capacity to differentiate into several cell types including osteoblasts and are therefore an important cell source for bone tissue regeneration. A crucial issue is to identify mechanisms that trigger hMSC osteoblast differentiation to promote osteogenic potential. Casitas B lineage lymphoma (Cbl) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that ubiquitinates and targets several molecules for degradation. We hypothesized that attenuation of Cbl-mediated degradation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) may promote osteogenic differentiation in hMSCs. We show here that specific inhibition of Cbl interaction with RTKs using a Cbl mutant (G306E) promotes expression of osteoblast markers (Runx2, alkaline phosphatase, type 1 collagen, osteocalcin) and increases osteogenic differentiation in clonal bone marrow-derived hMSCs and primary hMSCs. Analysis of molecular mechanisms revealed that the Cbl mutant increased PDGF receptor α and FGF receptor 2 but not EGF receptor expression in hMSCs, resulting in increased ERK1/2 and PI3K signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of FGFR or PDGFR abrogated in vitro osteogenesis induced by the Cbl mutant. The data reveal that specific inhibition of Cbl interaction with RTKs promotes the osteogenic differentiation program in hMSCs in part by decreased Cbl-mediated PDGFRα and FGFR2 ubiquitination, providing a novel mechanistic approach targeting Cbl to promote the osteogenic capacity of hMSCs.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma-derived cell lines (SaOs-2, MG63) have recently been shown to deform their nucleus considerably in response to surface topography. Such a deformation had not been described previously. Here we present results on additional cell lines, including cancerous (OHS4, U2OS), immortalized (F/STRO-1(+)A and FHSO6) and healthy cells (HOP). The cancerous cells were found to deform extensively, the immortalized cells showed small deformations, whereas the healthy cells showed deformation only at short incubation times. These results suggest a strong link between the malignant transformation of cells and the state of the cytoskeletal network. We propose mechanisms to explain the deformation in which the cytoskeleton either pushes down on the nucleus during spreading or pulls it down upon adhesion to the pillars.

Abstract
We isolated adherent fibroblastic cells after collagenase and dispase treatment of human dental pulp. When human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) were cultured in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), the ratio of hDPCs in the S-phase was significantly higher in comparison with incubation without bFGF. The ratio of hDPCs expressing STRO-1 as a marker of stem cell populations increased approximately eightfold in the presence of bFGF as opposed to that in the absence of bFGF. We demonstrated the characterization and distinctiveness of the hDPCs and showed that, when cultured with the medium containing serum and bFGF, they were highly proliferative and capable of differentiating in vitro into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. Furthermore, the in vitro differentiation was confirmed at both the protein and gene expression levels. Transplantation of hDPCs -- expanded ex vivo in the presence of bFGF into immunocompromised mice -- revealed the formation of bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue. The donor hDPC-derived cells were labeled in the bone tissues located near the PLGA in the subcutaneous tissues of recipient mice using a human-specific Alu probe. When cultured with a serum-free medium containing bFGF, the hDPCs strongly expressed STRO-1 immunoreactive products and sustained self-renewal, and thus were almost identical in differentiation potential and proliferation activity to hDPCs cultured with the medium containing serum and bFGF. The present results suggest that the hDPCs cultured in the presence of bFGF irrespective of the presence or absence of the bovine serum are rich in mesenchymal stem cells or progenitor cells and useful for cell-based therapies to treat dental diseases.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are able to differentiate into osteoblasts under appropriate induction. Although MSC-derived osteoblasts are part of the hematopoietic niche, the nature of the stromal component in fetal liver remains elusive. Here, we determined the in vitro osteoblastic differentiation potential of murine clonal fetal liver-derived cells (AFT024, BFC012, 2012) in comparison with bone marrow-derived cell lines (BMC9, BMC10). Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, an early osteoblastic marker, in AFT024 and 2012 cells, whereas dexamethasone had little or no effect. BMP2, but not dexamethasone, increased ALP activity in BMC9 cells, and both inducers increased ALP activity in BMC10 cells. BMP2 increased ALP mRNA in AFT024, 2012 and BMC9 cells. By contrast, ALP was not detected in BMC10 and BFC012 cells. BMP2 and dexamethasone increased osteopontin and osteocalcin mRNA expression in 2012 cells. Furthermore, bone marrow-derived cells showed extensive matrix mineralization, whereas fetal liver-derived cell lines showed no or very limited matrix mineralization capacity. These results indicate that the osteoblast differentiation potential differs in bone marrow and fetal liver-derived cell lines, which may be due to a distinct developmental program or different microenvironment in the two hematopoietic sites.

Abstract
Cell-interactive polymers have been widely used as synthetic extracellular matrices to regulate cell function and promote tissue regeneration. However, there is a lack of quantitative understanding of the cell-material interface. In this study, integrin-adhesion ligand bond formation of preosteoblasts and D1 stem cells with RGD presenting alginate matrices were examined using FRET and flow cytometry. Bond number increased with adhesion ligand density but did not change with RGD island spacing for both cell types. Integrin expression varied with cell type and substrate in 2D culture, but the integrin expression profiles of both cell types were similar when cultured in 3D RGD presenting substrates and distinct from 2D culture. In summary, combining a FRET technique to quantify bond formation with flow cytometry to elucidate integrin expression can define specific cell-material interactions for a given material system and may be useful for informing biomaterial design strategies for cell-based therapies.

Abstract
Osteogenesis occurs in striking interaction with angiogenesis. There is growing evidence that endothelial cells are involved in the modulation of osteoblast differentiation. We hypothesized that primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) should be able to modulate primary human osteoprogenitors (HOP) function in an in vitro co-culture model. In a previous study we demonstrated that a 3 day to 3 week co-culture stimulates HOP differentiation markers such as Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization. In the present study we addressed the effects induced by the co-culture on HOP within the first 48 hours. As a prerequisite, we validated a method based on immuno-magnetic beads to separate HOP from HUVEC after co-culture. Reverse transcription-real time quantitative PCR studies demonstrated up-regulation of the ALP expression in the co-cultured HOP, confirming previous results. Surprisingly, down-regulation of runx2 and osteocalcin was also shown. Western blot analysis revealed co-culture induced down-regulation of Connexin43 expression in both cell types. Connexin43 function may be altered in co-cultured HOP as well. Stimulation of the cAMP pathway was able to counterbalance the effect of the co-culture on the ALP activity, but was not able to rescue runx2 mRNA level. Co-culture effect on HOP transcriptome was analyzed with GEArray cDNA microarray showing endothelial cells may also modulate HOP extracellular matrix production. In accordance with previous work, we propose endothelial cells may support initial osteoblastic proliferation but do not alter the ability of the osteoblasts to produce extracellular mineralizing matrix.

Abstract
It is becoming increasingly evident that cancer constitutes a group of diseases involving altered stem-cell maturation/differentiation and the disturbance of regenerative processes. The observed malignant transformation is merely a symptom of normal differentiation processes gone astray rather than the primary event. This review focuses on the role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in three common but also relatively under-investigated cancers: head and neck, ovarian, and testicular cancer. For didactic purpose, the physiology of stem cells is first introduced using hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells as examples. This is followed by a discussion of the (possible) role of CSCs in head and neck, ovarian, and testicular cancer. Aside from basic information about the pathophysiology of these cancers, current research results focused on the discovery of molecular markers specific to these cancers are also discussed. The last part of the review is largely dedicated to signaling pathways active within various normal and CSC types (e.g. Nanog, Nestin, Notch1, Notch2, Oct3 and 4, Wnt). Different elements of these pathways are also discussed in the context of therapeutic opportunities for the development of targeted therapies aimed at CSCs. Finally, alternative targeted anticancer therapies arising from recently identified molecules with cancer-(semi-)selective capabilities (e.g. apoptin, Brevinin-2R) are considered.

Abstract
The recent development of molecular biology and mouse genetics and the analysis of the skeletal phenotype induced by genetic mutations in humans led to a better understanding of the role of transcription factors that govern bone formation. This review summarizes the role of transcription factors in osteoblastogenesis and provides an integrated perspective on how the activities of multiple classes of factors are coordinated for the complex process of developing the osteoblast phenotype. The roles of Runx2, the principal transcriptional regulator of osteoblast differentiation, Osterix, beta-Catenin and ATF which act downstream of Runx2, and other transcription factors that contribute to the control of osteoblastogenesis including the AP1, C/EBPs, PPARgamma and homeodomain, helix-loop-helix proteins are discussed. This review also updates the regulation of transcription factor expression by signaling factors and hormones that control osteoblastogenesis.

Abstract
During the past decade, there has been much interest in the use of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in bone tissue engineering. HMSCs can be obtained relatively easily and expanded rapidly in culture, but for clinical purposes large numbers are often needed and the cost should be kept to a minimum. A rapid and efficient culturing protocol would therefore be beneficial. In this study, we examined the effect of different medium compositions on the expansion and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived hMSCs from 19 donors. We also investigated the effect of low seeding density and dexamethasone on both hMSCs expansion and their in vitro and in vivo osteogenic differentiation capacity. HMSCs seeded at a density of 100 cells/cm2 had a significantly higher growth rate than at 5000 cell/cm2, which was further improved by the addition of dexamethasone. Expanded hMSCs were characterized in vitro on the basis of positive staining for CD29, CD44, CD105, and CD166. The in vitro osteogenic potential of expanded hMSCs was assessed by flow cytometric staining for alkaline phosphatase. In vivo bone-forming potential of the hMSCs was assessed by seeding the cells in ceramic scaffolds, followed by subcutaneous implantation in nude mice and histopathologic assessment of de novo bone formation after 6-week implantation. Expanded hMSCs from all donors displayed similar osteogenic potential independent of the culture conditions. On the basis of these results we have developed an efficient method to culture hMSCs by seeding the cells at 100 cells/cm2 in an alpha-minimal essential medium-based medium containing dexamethasone.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adherent cells that differentiate into chondroblasts, osteoblasts and adipocytes. In this short review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms that are known to control osteoblast differentiation and osteogenic potential of MSCs in vitro. We discuss the advances made in gene-based therapy to promote osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and the perspectives for an optimal use of MSCs for bone tissue regeneration or repair. One important challenge at the present time is to identify factors and pathways that promote osteogenic commitment of MSCs in order to use MSCs with functional potential for optimal bone repair in humans. In this context, genomic and proteomic analyses may help to identify molecules that could be used to promote osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs. In the future this may lead to selective therapeutic strategies for tissue engineering application in bone regeneration and repair in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent progenitors retaining the capability to undergo multilineage differentiation, mostly towards all the mesodermal cellular lineages. MSC growing under standard conditions are composed of two main subpopulations with a characteristic distribution in the morphologic flow cytometric scatter: RS (recycling stem) cells (small, agranular) and m (mature) MSC (large, moderately granular cells). METHODS MSC obtained from BM of healthy donors and expanded in culture were characterized by evaluating both the expression of conventional markers and differentiation potential. We used CFSE, a lipophilic dye that is taken up by cell membranes, to investigate separately the proliferative activity of RS cells and mMSC subsets. RESULTS With flow cytometric analysis, RS cells and mMSC showed nearly the same immunophenotypic pattern, even if a significantly smaller percentage of RS cells expressed some of the classic mesenchymal Ag. The RS cell fraction was confirmed to have a higher proliferative potential and such a feature was particularly evident under certain culture conditions. DISCUSSION CFSE has been shown as a reliable method for studying the proliferative activity of MSC subpopulations identified by flow cytometric analysis. The acquisition parameter strategy is crucial for the accuracy of the analysis.

Abstract
Human/murine X-linked hypophosphatemia is a dominant disorder associated with renal phosphate wasting and defective bone mineralization. This disorder results from mutations in the PHEX/Phex (Phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome) gene, which is expressed in fully differentiated osteoblasts. The purpose of the present study was to assess whether PTH, a major regulator of bone development and turnover, modulates osteoblastic Phex expression. The effects of different concentrations of PTH (rat fragment 1-34) were determined on Phex mRNA and protein expression in vitro using MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells and mouse primary osteoblasts; and in vivo using 45-day-old mice infused for 3 days with PTH. Phex mRNA levels were quantitated on Northern blots by densitometric analysis relative to GAPDH mRNA levels. Phex protein levels were analyzed by immunoprecipitation of 35S-methionine-labeled osteoblast lysates or by immunoblotting of calvaria membrane extracts using a polyclonal rabbit antiserum raised against a mouse Phex carboxy-terminal peptide. Fully differentiated MC3T3-E1 cells were incubated for 4 to 48 h with increasing concentrations of PTH (10(-11) to 10(-7) M). PTH inhibited Phex mRNA expression in both mineralizing and nonmineralizing osteoblast cultures in a dose- and time-dependent manner with a maximal inhibition at 10(-7) M PTH after 24 h (15+/-7% of control levels, n=5, P<0.001). The PTH-mediated downregulation of Phex mRNA levels was associated with corresponding decreases in Phex protein synthesis and suppression at 10(-7) M PTH. Similar results were obtained with primary osteoblasts isolated from newborn mouse calvaria. Consistent with the in vitro findings, continuous PTH infusion to mice elicited decreases in Phex expression in calvaria. The effect of PTH was also assessed on matrix mineralization by mature MC3T3-E1 cells by measuring 45Ca accumulation in cell layers. PTH (10(-7) M) inhibited the initiation (57+/-2% of control levels, n=5, P<0.001) and the progression of matrix mineralization (75+/-1% of control levels, n=5, P<0.001). In summary, PTH inhibits osteoblastic Phex expression in vitro and in vivo. The downregulation of Phex expression by PTH in vitro is associated with inhibition of matrix mineralization, consistent with a role for Phex in bone mineralization.

Abstract
The current rapid progression in stem cell research has enhanced our knowledge of dental tissue regeneration. In this study, rat dental pulp cells were isolated and their differentiation ability was evaluated. First, dental pulp cells were obtained from maxillary incisors of male Wistar rats. Immunochemistry by stem cell marker STRO-1 proved the existence of stem cells or progenitors in the isolated cell population. The dissociated cells were then cultured both on smooth surfaces and on three-dimensional (3-D) scaffold materials in medium supplemented with beta-glycerophosphate, dexamethasone, and L-ascorbic acid. Cultures were analyzed by light and scanning electron microscopy and, on proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium content were determined and the polymerase chain reaction was performed for dentin sialophosphoprotein, osteocalcin, and collagen type I. These cells showed the ability to differentiate into odontoblast-like cells and produced calcified nodules, which had components similar to dentin. In addition, we found that the "odontogenic" properties of the isolated cells were supported by three-dimensional calcium phosphate and titanium scaffolds equally well.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine whether human osteoblasts might harbor the hepatitis C virus. We tested for positive-strand and negative-strand (replicative) hepatitis C virus RNA by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, by in situ reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for intracellular localization of the hepatitis C virus, and by amplicon sequencing in in vitro differentiated mature osteoblasts from STRO-1+ osteoprogenitor cells from patients with chronic hepatitis C and from healthy individuals. We only detected the hepatitis C virus genome in STRO-1+ cells and mature osteoblasts from carriers with chronic hepatitis C, and we found hepatitis C virus negative strands expressed sporadically in these patients. Using in situ hepatitis C virus reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, we determined that the percentage of infected carrier osteoblasts ranged from 8.0-15.3%. These data provide evidence of hepatitis C virus presence and replication in human osteoprogenitors and osteoblasts, which may have important implications for bone allograft processing.

Abstract
Progenitor cells with differentiation capacity along multiple mesengenic lineages are attractive tools for numerous purposes in regenerative medicine. Such mesengenic progenitor cells have been isolated from adult mammalian bone marrow, and we here report placental tissue as an alternative source for these cells. By means of dissection/proteinase digestion techniques, high numbers of viable mononuclear cells were harvested from human placenta at term, and a mesenchymal cell population with characteristic expression of CD9, CD29, and CD73 was obtained in culture. The in vitro growth behavior of such placenta-derived mesengenic cells was similar to that of human bone marrow mesengenic progenitor cells. After in vitro propagation for more than three passages the cells were exclusively of maternal origin. Differentiation experiments showed differentiation potential along osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic, and myogenic lineages. In conclusion, we propose human term placenta as an easily accessible, ample source of multipotent mesengenic progenitor cells.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have great clinical potential for the replacement and regeneration of diseased or damaged tissue. They are especially important in the production of the hematopoietic microenvironment, which regulates the maintenance and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). In the adult, MSCs and their differentiating progeny are found predominantly in the bone marrow (BM). However, it is as yet unknown in which embryonic tissues MSCs reside and whether there is a localized association of these cells within hematopoietic sites during development. To investigate the embryonic origins of these cells, we performed anatomical mapping and frequency analysis of mesenchymal progenitors at several stages of mouse ontogeny. We report here the presence of mesenchymal progenitors, with the potential to differentiate into cells of the osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic lineages, in most of the sites harboring hematopoietic cells. They first appear in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region at the time of HSC emergence. However, at this developmental stage, their presence is independent of HSC activity. They increase numerically during development to a plateau level found in adult BM. Additionally, mesenchymal progenitors are found in the embryonic circulation. Taken together, these data show a co-localization of mesenchymal progenitor/stem cells to the major hematopoietic territories, suggesting that, as development proceeds, mesenchymal progenitors expand within these potent hematopoietic sites.

Abstract
Bone is a metabolically active and highly organized tissue consisting of a mineral phase of hydroxyapatite and amorphous calcium phosphate crystals deposited in an organic matrix. Bone has two main functions. It forms a rigid skeleton and has a central role in calcium and phosphate homeostasis. The major cell types of bone are osteoblasts, osteoclasts and chondrocytes. In the laboratory, primary cultures or cell lines established from each of these different cell types provide valuable information about the processes of skeletal development, bone formation and bone resorption, leading ultimately, to the formulation of new forms of treatment for common bone diseases such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone physiology can be examined on multiple length scales. Results of cell-level studies, typically carried out in vitro, are often extrapolated to attempt to understand tissue and organ physiology. Results of organ- or organism-level studies are often analyzed to deduce the state(s) of the cells within the larger system(s). Although phenomena on all of these scales—cell, tissue, organ, system, organism—are interlinked and contribute to the overall health and function of bone tissue, it is difficult to relate research among these scales. For example, groups of cells in an exogenous, in vitro environment that is well defined by the researcher would not be expected to function similarly to those in a dynamic, endogenous environment, dictated by systemic as well as organismal physiology. This review of the literature on bone cell culture describes potential causes and components of cell “culture shock,” i.e., behavioral variations associated with the transition from in vivo to in vitro environment, focusing on investigations of mechanotransduction and experimental approaches to mimic aspects of bone tissue on a macroscopic scale. The state of the art is reviewed, and new paradigms are suggested to begin bridging the gap between two-dimensional cell cultures in petri dishes and the three-dimensional environment of living bone tissue.

Abstract
Nonporous and porous membranes produced from poly(L/DL-lactide) 80/20% were characterized using profilometry, contact-angle measurements, infra-red spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and used to culture bone marrow stromal cells isolated from the rat femora. The cells were cultured for 5, 10, 15 and 20 days. Cell growth and activity was estimated from the amounts of DNA, alkaline phosphatase activity and total protein amount present in the cell lysate and cell differentiation was assessed histochemically. Cell morphology was estimated from scanning electron microscopy. The cells fully expressed osteoblastic phenotype, revealed spindle-shaped, ellipsoidal morphology, developed podia, produced an abundant fibrillar extracellular matrix and mineral noduli. The number of cells on the membranes increased with time of culturing and was higher for the porous membranes than the nonporous membranes. Osteoblastic differentiation was most significant between 5 and 10 days of culture. The total amounts of DNA, alkaline phosphatase and proteins increased with time of culturing. The surface characteristics of the porous membranes were superior to the nonporous membranes.

Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the current knowledge and achievements on bone tissue engineering with regard to spinal fusion and highlight the technique that employs hybrid constructs of porous scaffolds with bone marrow stromal cells. These hybrid constructs potentially function in a way comparable to the present golden standard, the autologous bone graft, which comprises besides many other factors, a construct of an optimal biological scaffold with osteoprogenitor cells. However, little is known about the role of the cells in autologous grafts, and especially survival of these cells is questionable. Therefore, more research will be needed to establish a level of functioning of hybrid constructs to equal the autologous bone graft. Spinal fusion models are relevant because of the increasing demand for graft material related to this procedure. Furthermore, they offer a very challenging environment to further investigate the technique. Anterior and posterolateral animal models of spinal fusion are discussed together with recommendations on design and assessment of outcome parameters.

Abstract
Phex (a phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome) is expressed predominantly in bone in which it has been implicated in the mineralization process. Multiple factors and hormones, including PTHrP, regulate formation, development, and/or homeostasis of bone. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether PTHrP(1-34) regulates Phex expression and identify the signaling pathway used. Phex mRNA and protein levels were analyzed by RT-PCR and immunoblotting, respectively. In UMR-106 cells, PTHrP(1-34) caused a time- and concentration-dependent decrease in Phex expression. Forskolin, an adenylate cyclase activator, had the same effect. Dibutiryl cAMP also decreased Phex expression, and its effect was blocked by H89, a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor. In contrast, 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate, a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, increased Phex expression in a time- and dose-dependent manner. This effect was reversed by bisindolylmaleimide Iota, a PKC inhibitor. Bovine PTH(3-34), which activates PKC but not PKA, had no effect. On the contrary, human PTH(1-31), which activates PKA but not PKC, decreased Phex expression. H89 but not bisindolylmaleimide Iota blocked the effect of PTHrP(1-34). PTHrP(1-34) also decreased Phex expression in cultures of fetal rat calvaria cells at d 7 of culture but not at later stages. These data demonstrate that PTHrP(1-34), through PKA, down-regulates Phex expression in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Human osteoblast phenotypes that support osteoclast differentiation and bone formation are not well characterized. Osteoblast differentiation markers were examined in relation to RANKL expression. RANKL expression was induced preferentially in immature cells. These results support an important link between diverse osteoblast functions. Cells of the osteoblast lineage support two apparently distinct functions: bone formation and promotion of osteoclast formation. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between these phenotypes in human osteoblasts (NHBC), in terms of the pre-osteoblast marker, STRO-1, and the mature osteoblast marker, alkaline phosphatase (AP), and the expression of genes involved in osteoclast formation, RANKL and OPG. The osteotropic stimuli, 1alpha,25(OH)2vitamin D3 (vitD3) and dexamethasone, were found to have profound proliferative and phenotypic effects on NHBCs. VitD3 inhibited NHBC proliferation and increased the percentage of cells expressing STRO-1 over an extended culture period, implying that vitD3 promotes and maintains an immature osteogenic phenotype. Concomitantly, RANKL mRNA expression was upregulated and maintained in NHBC in response to vitD3. Dexamethasone progressively promoted the proliferation of AP-expressing cells, resulting in the overall maturation of the cultures. Dexamethasone had little effect on RANKL mRNA expression and downregulated OPG mRNA expression in a donor-dependent manner. Regression analysis showed that RANKL mRNA expression was associated negatively with the percentage of cells expressing AP (p < 0.01) in vitD3- and dexamethasone-treated NHBCs. In contrast, RANKL mRNA expression was associated positively with the percentage of STRO-1+ cells (p < 0.01). In NHBCs sorted by FACS based on STRO-1 expression (STRO-1bright and STRO-1dim populations), it was found that vitD3 upregulated the expression of RANKL mRNA preferentially in STRO-1bright cells. The results suggest that immature osteoblasts respond to osteotropic factors in a potentially pro-osteoclastogenic manner. Additionally, the dual roles of osteoblasts, in supporting osteoclastogenesis or forming bone, may be performed by the same lineage of cells at different stages of their maturation.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell populations have previously been identified in adult bone marrow and dental pulp that are capable of regenerating the bone marrow and dental pulp microenvironments, respectively. Here we show that these stem cell populations reside in the microvasculature of their tissue of origin. Human bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSSCs) and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were isolated by immunoselection using the antibody, STRO-1, which recognizes an antigen on perivascular cells in bone marrow and dental pulp tissue. Freshly isolated STRO-1 positive BMSSCs and DPSCs were tested for expression of vascular antigens known to be expressed by endothelial cells (von Willebrand factor, CD146), smooth muscle cells, and pericytes (alpha-smooth muscle actin, CD146), and a pericyte-associated antigen (3G5), by immunohistochemistry, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and/or immunomagnetic bead selection. Both BMSSCs and DPSCs lacked expression of von Willebrand factor but were found to be positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin and CD146. Furthermore, the majority of DPSCs expressed the pericyte marker, 3G5, while only a minor population of BMSSCs were found to be positive for 3G5. The finding that BMSSCs and DPSCs both display phenotypes consistent with different perivascular cell populations, regardless of their diverse ontogeny and developmental potentials, may have further implications in understanding the factors that regulate the formation of mineralized matrices and other associated connective tissues.

Abstract
Studies on the effect of estrogens (E(2)) on the expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and its bioresponse in bone have demonstrated that E(2) modulate activity and increase the number of VDRs in vitro; however, no in vivo studies have been pursued to assess this interaction. Our study identifies the changes in the number of VDR-expressing cells in bone of C57BL/6J young and old oophorectomized mice (4 and 24 months) with and without 17beta estradiol (E(2)) replacement. A total of 36 mice were sacrificed; both tibiae and femora were isolated and VDR expression was quantified by Northern blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry. Among the intact mice there was a significant difference in the number of VDR-expressing osteoblasts between young (68%) and old (56%) (p<0.04). In young oophorectomized mice the number of VDR-expressing osteoblasts decreased from 68% to 46% after oophorectomy and recovered to 72% after E(2) administration (p<0.02), while in the group of old mice, the number of VDR-expressing osteoblasts decreased from 56% to 48% after oophorectomy (p<0.01) and recovered to 85% after E(2) administration (p<0.001). Our results show that VDR expression in bone decreases with aging and estrogen deprivation but recovers after E(2) supplementation in both young and old mice with a more significant level of response in older bone. To evaluate the level of VDR bioresponse to E(2) we assessed the effect of E(2) supplementation to human osteoblasts (N-976) in vitro. Northern blot showed a significant up-regulation of VDR expression in E(2) treated cells as compared to non-treated cells (p<0.05). We also assessed the previously known anti-apoptotic effect of vitamin D in osteoblasts in vitro after serum deprivation by using either E(2), E(2)+1,25(OH)(2)D(3), or 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) alone. We found a lower number of apoptotic cells and longer cell survival after 48 h of treatment with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)+E(2) as compared to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) or E(2) alone (p<0.002). In summary, our results demonstrate that E(2) increases VDR expression in bone in vivo and potentiate the bioresponse of VDR in osteoblasts in vitro.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capacity for renewal and the potential to differentiate into multiple lineages of mesenchymal tissues. In the laboratory, MSCs have the tendency to adhere to culture dish plastic and are characterized by fibroblastic morphology, but possess no specific markers to select them. To isolate and purify MSCs from bone marrow, we use a culture device-a plastic culture dish comprising a plate with 3-microm pores-to sieve out a homogeneous population of cells (termed size-sieved [SS] cells) from bone marrow aspirates. SS cells that adhered to the upper porous plate surface were a relatively homogeneous population as indicated by morphology and other criteria, such as surface markers. They had the capacity for self-renewal and the multilineage potential to form bone, fat, and cartilage, and satisfy the characteristics of MSCs. In addition, if all the cells from each passage had been plated and cultured in our defined conditions, over 10(14) SS cells would have been obtained from each 10-ml aspirate in 15 additional weeks of culture. This technically simple method leads to an efficient isolation and purification of cells with the characteristics of MSCs.

Abstract
Clonogenic immortalised human pre-osteoblastic cell lines provide useful species-specific experimental tools for the study of the regulation of osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation. Steroid hormones are major regulators of bone formation. Although much is known about the effects of dexamethasone on osteoblastic growth and differentiation in vitro, there is less information on the effects of trans-retinoic acid (RA), particularly in human cultures. We have established a clonal adult human cell line (C1) derived from a bone marrow aspirate. The cell line appeared to be bi-potential. The cells were able to differentiate into an adipocytic phenotype under appropriate culture conditions. When grown in osteogenic medium, the cells expressed alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin mRNA. The C1 cells also expressed several other osteoblastic markers such as collagen type 1 (COL 1), PTH/PTH-rp receptor constitutively. Transcripts for the osteoblast transcription factor Cbfa1 was also detected under basal conditions. In addition treatment with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) (10(-7)M) led to a marked increase in osteocalcin mRNA expression suggesting that this cell line represents a pre-osteoblastic population. We compared the effects of Dex and RA on osteoblastic function. For the assessment of PTH/PTH-rp receptor, osteocalcin and Cbfa1 mRNA expression and PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase responsiveness, the cells were grown in the presence of Dex and RA and harvested on Days 1, 3, 7 and 14. RA (10(-7)M) had a mitogenic effect on the C1 cells. In contrast, Dex (10(-7)M) inhibited proliferation. A similar effect was observed with primary human bone marrow stromal cultures. Both Dex and RA inhibited COL 1 synthesis and decreased COL1 mRNA. Dex stimulated ALP activity and increased ALP mRNA expression whilst RA had an inhibitory effect. Dex treatment led to an increase in PTH/PTH-rp receptor mRNA and PTH-induced cAMP accumulation with a peak response at 24 h and this effect was sustained for up to 14 days. In contrast, long-term culture with RA resulted in a reduction in the cAMP response to PTH (Days 7 and 14) with no effect on PTH/PTH-rp receptor mRNA expression. Osteocalcin and Cbfa1 mRNA expression did not alter in the presence of Dex and RA at these time points. This study shows that Dex and RA have differential effects on the expression of the phenotypic markers and genes associated with osteoblast maturation. This homogeneous cell line can therefore be used further to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action of Dex and RA at the different developmental stages of human osteoblastic differentiation. This cell line may thus provide a useful species-specific in vitro model for the evaluation of key genes and signalling molecules involved in osteogenesis. This would be of help in the design of 'in vivo' studies.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a major health care concern and levies a serious financial burden on the world health care system. For this reason, many physicians and scientists are engaged in research to better understand and treat this disease. To this end, numerous in vitro bone cell models have been developed to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms of skeletal biology and for the identification and characterization of new drug targets and therapies. In this chapter, we review many of these cellular models as tools to study the hormonal regulation of bone metabolism. In particular, we pay special attention to new human bone cell models, since these have the greatest relevance to osteoporosis research and drug discovery. These new models include (1) the use of peripheral blood mononuclear cells as progenitors of osteoclasts and primary cultures of mesenchymal stem cells as precursors of osteoblasts; (2) the development of conditionally immortalized preosteoclastic and osteoblastic cell lines using temperature-sensitive large T-antigens; and (3) the establishment of the first osteocytic cell lines. Thus, we now have at our disposal many good in vitro models to investigate the regulation of bone resorption and formation by hormones, vitamins and drugs. These models should accelerate our understanding of bone physiology and pathophysiology as well as our ability to develop important new therapies to prevent and treat skeletal diseases.

Abstract
Studies with human and animal culture systems indicate that a sub-population of bone marrow stromal cells has the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts. There are conflicting reports on the effects of age on human marrow-derived osteogenic cells. In this study, we used a three dimensional (3D) culture system and quantitative RT-PCR methods to test the hypothesis that the osteogenic potential of human bone marrow stromal cells decreases with age. Marrow was obtained from 39 men aged 37 to 86 years, during the course of total hip arthroplasty. Low-density mononuclear cells were seeded onto 3D collagen sponges and cultured for 3 weeks. Histological sections of sponges were stained for alkaline phosphatase activity and were scored as positive or negative. In the group < or = 50 years, 7 of 11 samples (63%) were positive, whereas only 5 of 19 (26%) of the samples in the group > or = 60 years were positive (p = 0.0504). As revealed by RT-PCR, there was no expression of alkaline phosphatase or collagen type I mRNA before culture, however there were strong signals after 3 weeks, an indication of osteoblast differentiation in vitro. We performed a quantitative, competitive RT-PCR assay with 8 samples (age range 38-80) and showed that the group < or = 50 years had 3-fold more mRNA for alkaline phosphatase than the group > or = 60 years (p = 0.021). There was a significant decrease with age (r = - 0.78, p = 0.028). These molecular and histoenzymatic data indicate that the osteogenic potential of human bone marrow cells decreases with age.

Abstract
Human bone marrow stromal cells are a multipotent population of cells capable of differentiating into a number of mesodermal lineages as well as supporting hematopoeisis. Their distinct protein and gene expression phenotype is well characterized in the literature. Human adipose tissue presents an alternative source of multipotent stromal cells. In this study, we have defined the phenotype of the human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells in both the differentiated and undifferentiated states. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry show that human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells have a protein expression phenotype that is similar to that of human bone marrow stromal cells. Expressed proteins include CD9, CD10, CD13, CD29, CD34, CD44, CD 49(d), CD 49(e), CD54, CD55, CD59, CD105, CD106, CD146, and CD166. Expression of some of these proteins was further confirmed by PCR and immunoblot detection. Unlike human bone marrow-derived stromal cells, we did not detect the STRO-1 antigen on human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells. Cells cultured under adipogenic conditions uniquely expressed C/EBPalpha and PPARdelta, two transcriptional regulators of adipogenesis. Cells cultured under osteogenic conditions were more likely to be in the proliferative phases of the cell cycle based on flow cytometric analysis of PCNA and Ki67. The similarities between the phenotypes of human adipose tissue-derived and human bone marrow-derived stromal cells could have broad implications for human tissue engineering.

Abstract
This paper addresses some of the important aspects of stem cell commitment to the bone cell lineage examining the various types of precursor cells, their responses to cytokines and other extracellular influences, and recent observations on the biochemical and molecular control of lineage-specific gene expression. The process of osteopoiesis involves the proliferation and maturation of primitive precursor cells into functional osteoblasts. The bone cells purportedly originate from mesenchymal stem cells that commit to the osteogenic cell lineage becoming osteoprogenitor cells, preosteoblasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes. Further understanding of this developmental process requires that lineage-specific markers be identified for the various populations of bone cells and their precursors, that cell separation techniques be established so that cells of the osteogenic lineage can be purified at different stages of differentiation, and that these isolated cells are studied under serum-free, chemically defined conditions.
