Analysis of bone formation in vivo by single‐colony derived strains of human marrow stromal fibroblasts provides evidence that individual human CFU‐Fs have osteogenic potential and yet differ from each other with respect to their osteogenic capacity.Abstract:
Populations of marrow stromal fibroblasts (MSFs) can differentiate into functional osteoblasts and form bone in vivo. It is not known, however, what proportion of MSF precursor cells, colony forming units-fibroblast (CFU-Fs), have osteogenic potential. In the present study, analysis of bone formation in vivo by single-colony derived strains of human marrow stromal fibroblasts (HMSFs) has been performed for the first time. Each strain originated from an individual CFU-F and underwent four passages in vitro prior to subcutaneous implantation into immunodeficient mice within vehicles containing hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate ceramic. Multicolony derived HMSF strains were also transplanted to serve as positive controls. After 8 weeks, abundant bone formation was found in the transplants of all multicolony derived HMSF strains, whereas 20 out of 34 (58.8%) single-colony derived strains from four donors formed bone. Immunostaining with antibody directed against human osteonectin and in situ hybridization for human-specific alu sequences demonstrated that cells forming new bone were of human origin and were vital for at least 45 weeks post-transplantation. Both the incidence of bone-forming colonies and the extent of bone formation by single-colony derived HMSF strains were increased by cultivation with dexamethasone and ascorbic acid phosphate. Other factors, including type of transplantation vehicle, morphology, size, and structure of the original HMSF colonies showed no obvious correlation with the incidence or extent of bone formation. Hematopoietic tissue within the newly formed bone was developed in the transplants exhibiting exuberant bone formation. These results provide evidence that individual human CFU-Fs have osteogenic potential and yet differ from each other with respect to their osteogenic capacity.read more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that DPSCs possess stem-cell-like qualities, including self-renewal capability and multi-lineage differentiation, including single-colony-derived DPSC strains that differ from each other with respect to their rate of odontogenesis.

Bone Marrow Stromal Stem Cells: Nature, Biology, and Potential Applications
TL;DR: Bone marrow stromal cells are progenitors of skeletal tissue components such as bone, cartilage, the hematopoiesis‐supporting stroma, and adipocytes and represent an important paradigm of post‐natal nonhematopoietic stem cells, and an easy source for potential therapeutic use.

Characterization of cells with osteogenic potential from human marrow.
TL;DR: The data suggest that human marrow contains cells with osteogenic potential, which can be enriched and expanded in culture, and suggest that subcutaneous implantation of these cells in porous calcium phosphate ceramics may be a more sensitive in vivo assay than diffusion chambers for measuring their osteogenic lineage potential.

TL;DR: Support is provided for the suggestion that mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow of postnatal organisms may provide a source for myoprogenitor cells which could function in clinically relevant myogenic regeneration.

TL;DR: The high proliferative potential of bone marrow FCFC and their ability to serve as common precursors of bone and cartilage‐forming cells makes them probable candidates for the role of osteogenic stem cells.

TL;DR: Analysis of CFU-F proliferative status by the thymidine suicide technique indicated that this cell was noncycling in individuals with undisturbed bone marrow function and data support the conclusion that the colonies described in this study are of fibroblastic nature.

TL;DR: Evidence for the hypothesis that there areStromal stem cells present in the soft connective tissues associated with marrow and bone surfaces that are able to give rise to a number of different cell lines is reviewed and the possibility that the marrow stromal system is part of a wider stromAL cell system of the body is proposed.
