Osteogenic Potential of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Vit C/ßGPDEXBMP2Gnas +/+ +/

Osteogenic Potential of Soft Tissue Stromal Cells Vit C/ßGPDEXBMP2Gnas +/+ +/

Marrow stromal cells Give rise to progeny that support developing hematopoietic cells Capable of becoming reticular cells, adipocytes, vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, macrophages, chondrogenic cells, and osteogenic cells Marrow stromal progenitors (bone marrow stromal cells, BMSCs) or mesenchymal stem cells (used interchangeably )

Clonogenic marrow stromal progenitors in vitro Cells with the potential to form fibroblast colony- forming units (CFU-F), morphologically resembling fibroblasts with variably low incidence (mouse, x ; human, 1-20 x ) Isolated on the basis of rapid adherence, absence of phagocytic activity, and extended proliferation in vitro Further identified on the basis of positive (e.g., Sca- 1 in mice; STRO-1 in humans) and negative selective markers

Mouse BMSC colony forming units

Phenotypic characteristics of marrow stromal precursor cells Stromal progenitors can be isolated from the adult mouse based on the selection of Sca-1+Lin-CD31- CD45- cells Similarly, in humans STRO-1+VCAM-1/CD106+ restriction identifies an enriched population of cells with the capacity for differentiation into multiple mesenchymal lineages, including osteoblasts Negative selection can also enrich for marrow stromal precursors by removing contaminating hematopoietic cells

Quantitative analysis of CFU-F to assess osteoblast differentiation Technical considerations  Optimal seeding density to obtain discrete CFU-F  Optimal refeeding schedule and time course to obtain differentiated colonies  Choice of differentiation factors Experimental questions  Effect of age or medical condition (e.g., POH) on osteoblast differentiation  Effect of soluble factors, differential gene expression, or gene mutations on osteoblast differentiation
