TLDR
The results strongly suggest that all osteo-chondroprogenitor cells, as well as progenitors in a variety of tissues, are derived from Sox9-expressing precursors during mouse embryogenesis.Abstract:
The transcription factor Sox9 is expressed in all chondroprogenitors and has an essential role in chondrogenesis. Sox9 is also expressed in other tissues, including central nervous system, neural crest, intestine, pancreas, testis, and endocardial cushions, and plays a crucial role in cell proliferation and differentiation in several of these tissues. To determine the cell fate of Sox9-expressing cells during mouse embryogenesis, we generated mice in which a Cre recombinase gene preceded by an internal ribosome entry site was inserted into the 3′ untranslated region of the Sox9 gene (Sox9-Cre knock-in). In the developing skeleton, Sox9 was expressed before Runx2, an early osteoblast marker gene. Cell fate mapping by using Sox9-Cre;ROSA26 reporter (R26R) mice revealed that Sox9-expressing limb bud mesenchymal cells gave rise to both chondrocytes and osteoblasts. Furthermore, a mutant in which the Osterix gene was inactivated in Sox9-expressing cells exhibited a lack of endochondral and intramembranous ossification and a lack of mature osteoblasts comparable with Osterix-null mutants. In addition, Sox9-expressing limb bud mesenchymal cells also contributed to tendon and synovium formation. By using Sox9-Cre;R26R mice, we also were able to systematically follow Sox9-expressing cells from embryonic day 8.0 to 17.0. Our results showed that Sox9-expressing cells contributed to the formation of all cell types of the spinal cord, epithelium of the intestine, pancreas, and mesenchyme of the testis. Thus, our results strongly suggest that all osteo-chondroprogenitor cells, as well as progenitors in a variety of tissues, are derived from Sox9-expressing precursors during mouse embryogenesis.read more

Building strong bones: molecular regulation of the osteoblast lineage
TL;DR: The past 15 years have witnessed tremendous progress in the molecular understanding of osteoblasts, the main bone-forming cells in the vertebrate skeleton, and evidence indicates that osteoblast may also regulate the behaviour of other cell types.

TL;DR: It is shown that Sox9 is expressed throughout the biliary and pancreatic ductal epithelia, which are connected to the intestinal stem-cell zone, which suggests interdependence between the structure and homeostasis of endodermal organs, with Sox9 expression being linked to progenitor status.

Sox9 Modulates Proliferation and Expression of Osteogenic Markers of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ASC)
TL;DR: A pro-proliferative role for Sox9 in undifferentiated rASC is suggested which may explain the higher proliferation rate of rASC compared to rBMSC and an osteogenic differentiation delaying role of Sox9 is proposed which suggests that Sox9 expression is needed to maintain rASC in an undifferentiate, proliferative state.

Hypertrophic chondrocytes can become osteoblasts and osteocytes in endochondral bone formation
TL;DR: The discovery of a chondrocyte-to-osteoblast lineage continuum revises concepts of the ontogeny of osteoblasts, with implications for the control of bone homeostasis and the interpretation of the underlying pathological bases of bone disorders.

TL;DR: The data suggest that both intramembranous and endochondral ossification were completely blocked, owing to the maturational arrest of osteoblasts in the mutant mice, and demonstrate that Cbfa1 plays an essential role in osteogenesis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that Runx2/Cbfa1-expressing preosteoblasts are still bipotential cells, because Osx null preostEoblasts express typical chondrocyte marker genes, and Osx acts downstream of Runx 2/C bfa1.
