Abstract
Although the prognosis for acute leukemia has greatly improved, treatment of relapsed/refractory acute leukemia (R/R AL) remains challenging. Recently, increasing evidence indicates that the bone marrow microenvironment (BMM) plays a crucial role in leukemogenesis and therapeutic resistance; therefore, BMM-targeted strategies should be a potent protocol for treating R/R AL. The targeting of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in solid tumors has received much attention and has achieved some progress, as CAFs might act as an organizer in the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, over the last 10 years, attention has been drawn to the role of CAFs in the BMM. In spite of certain successes in preclinical and clinical studies, the heterogeneity and plasticity of CAFs mean targeting them is a big challenge. Herein, we review the heterogeneity and roles of CAFs in the BMM and highlight the challenges and opportunities associated with acute leukemia therapies that involve the targeting of CAFs.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic stem cells that facilitate tissue regeneration through mechanisms involving self-renewal and differentiation, supporting angiogenesis and tissue cell survival, and limiting inflammation. MSCs were originally identified and expanded in long-term cultures of cells from bone marrow and other organs; and their native identity was recently confined into pericytes and adventitial cells in vascularized tissue. The multipotency, as well as the trophic and immunosuppressive effects, of MSCs have prompted the rapid development of clinical applications for many diseases involving tissue inflammation and immune disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease. Although standard criteria have been established to define MSCs, their therapeutic efficacy has varied significantly among studies due to their natural heterogenicity. Thus, understanding the biological and immunological features of MSCs is critical to standardize and optimize MSCs-based therapy. In this review, we highlight the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in MSCs-mediated tissue repair and immunosuppression. We also provide an update on the current development of MSCs-based clinical trials, with a detailed discussion of MSC-based cell therapy in inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are heterogeneous and primitive cells discovered first in the bone marrow (BM). They have putative roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis and are increasingly recognized as components of stem cell niches, which are best defined in the blood. The absence of in vivo MSC markers has limited our ability to track their behavior in vivo and draw comparisons with in vitro observations. Here we review the historical background of BM-MSCs, advances made in their prospective isolation, their developmental origin and contribution to maintaining subsets of hematopoietic cells, and how mesenchymal cells contribute to other stem cell niches.

Abstract
Stem cells are remarkable, and stem cell-based tissue engineering is an emerging field of biomedical science aiming to restore damaged tissue or organs. In dentistry and reconstructive facial surgery, it is of great interest to restore lost teeth or craniofacial bone defects using stem cell-mediated therapy. In the craniofacial region, various stem cell populations have been identified with regeneration potential. In this review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge concerning the various types of tooth- and craniofacial bone-related stem cells and discuss their in vivo identities and regulating mechanisms.

Abstract
Limb salvage from a variety of pathological processes in children is often limited by the unavailability of optimal allograft bone, or an appropriate structural bone substitute. In this study, we sought to examine a practical alternative for pediatric limb repair, based on decellularized, non-demineralized bone grafts, and to determine whether controlled recellularization prior to implantation has any impact on outcome. Growing New Zealand rabbits (n = 12) with a complete, critical-size defect on the left tibiofibula were equally divided into two groups. One group received a decellularized, non-demineralized leporine tibiofibula graft. The other group received an equivalent graft seeded with mesenchymal stem cells labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP), at a fixed density. Animals were euthanized at comparable time points 3-8 weeks post-implantation. Statistical analysis was by the Student t-test and Fisher's exact test (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of non-union between the two groups, including on 3D micro-CT. Incorporated grafts achieved adequate axial bending rigidity, torsional rigidity, union yield and flexural strength, with no significant differences or unequal variances between the groups. Correspondingly, there were no significant differences in extracellular calcium levels, or alkaline phosphatase activity. Histology confirmed the presence of neobone in both groups, with GFP-positive cells in the recellularized grafts. It was shown that osseous grafts derived from decellularized, non-demineralized bone undergo adequate remodeling in vivo after the repair of critical-size limb defects in a growing leporine model, irrespective of subsequent recellularization. This methodology may become a practical alternative for pediatric limb reconstruction.

Abstract
Few gene markers selectively identify mesenchymal progenitor cells inside the bone marrow. We have investigated a cell population located in the mouse bone marrow labeled by Connective Tissue Growth Factor reporter expression (CTGF-EGFP). Bone marrow flushed from CTGF reporter mice yielded an EGFP+ stromal cell population. Interestingly, the percentage of stromal cells retaining CTGF reporter expression decreased with age in vivo and was half the frequency in females compared to males. In culture, CTGF reporter expression and endogenous CTGF expression marked the same cell types as those labeled using Twist2-Cre and Osterix-Cre fate mapping approaches, which previously had been shown to identify mesenchymal progenitors in vitro. Consistent with this past work, sorted CTGF+ cells displayed an ability to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes in vitro and into osteoblast, adipocyte, and stromal cell lineages after transplantation into a parietal bone defect. In vivo examination of CTGF reporter expression in bone tissue sections revealed that it marked cells highly localized to the trabecular bone region and was not expressed in the perichondrium or periosteum. Mesenchymal cells retaining high CTGF reporter expression were adjacent to, but distinct from mature osteoblasts lining bone surfaces and endothelial cells forming the vascular sinuses. Comparison of CTGF and Osterix reporter expression in bone tissue sections indicated an inverse correlation between the strength of CTGF expression and osteoblast maturation. Down-regulation of CTGF reporter expression also occurred during in vitro osteogenic differentiation. Collectively, our studies indicate that CTGF reporter mice selectively identify a subpopulation of bone marrow mesenchymal progenitor cells that reside in the trabecular bone region.

Abstract
We have carried out fate mapping studies using Osterix-EGFPCre and Osterix-CreERt animal models and found Cre reporter expression in many different cell types that make up the bone marrow stroma. Constitutive fate mapping resulted in the labeling of different cellular components located throughout the bone marrow, whereas temporal fate mapping at E14.5 resulted in the labeling of cells within a region of the bone marrow. The identity of cell types marked by constitutive and temporal fate mapping included osteoblasts, adipocytes, vascular smooth muscle, perineural, and stromal cells. Prolonged tracing of embryonic precursors labeled at E14.5dpc revealed the continued existence of their progeny up to 10 months of age, suggesting that fate mapped, labeled embryonic precursors gave rise to long lived bone marrow progenitor cells. To provide further evidence for the marking of bone marrow progenitors, bone marrow cultures derived from Osterix-EGFPCre/Ai9 mice showed that stromal cells retained Cre reporter expression and yielded a FACS sorted population that was able to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes in vitro and into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and perivascular stromal cells after transplantation. Collectively, our studies reveal the developmental process by which Osterix-Cre labeled embryonic progenitors give rise to adult bone marrow progenitors which establish and maintain the bone marrow stroma.

Abstract
The specific targeting of cells to sites of tissue damage in vivo is a major challenge precluding the success of stem cell-based therapies. Magnetic particle-based targeting may provide a solution. Our aim was to provide a model system to study the trapping and potential targeting of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) during in vitro fluid flow, which ultimately will inform cell targeting in vivo. In this system magnet arrays were used to trap superparamagnetic iron oxide particle-doped MSCs. The in vitro experiments demonstrated successful cell trapping, where the volume of cells trapped increased with magnetic particle concentration and decreased with increasing flow rate. Analysis of gene expression revealed significant increases in COL1A2 and SOX9. Using principles established in vitro, a proof-of-concept in vivo experiment demonstrated that magnetic particle-doped, luciferase-expressing MSCs were trapped by an implanted magnet in a subcutaneous wound model in nude mice. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of using an in vitro model for testing superparamagnetic iron oxide particles to develop successful MSC targeting strategies during fluid flow, which ultimately can be translated to in vivo targeted delivery of cells via the circulation in a variety of tissue-repair models.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitor cells that participate in the structural and functional maintenance of connective tissues under normal homeostasis. They also act as trophic mediators during tissue repair, generating bioactive molecules that help in tissue regeneration following injury. MSCs serve comparable roles in cases of malignancy and are becoming increasingly appreciated as critical components of the tumor microenvironment. MSCs home to developing tumors with great affinity, where they exacerbate cancer cell proliferation, motility, invasion and metastasis, foster angiogenesis, promote tumor desmoplasia and suppress anti-tumor immune responses. These multifaceted roles emerge as a product of reciprocal interactions occurring between MSCs and cancer cells and serve to alter the tumor milieu, setting into motion a dynamic co-evolution of both tumor and stromal tissues that favors tumor progression. Here, we summarize our current knowledge about the involvement of MSCs in cancer pathogenesis and review accumulating evidence that have placed them at the center of the pro-malignant tumor stroma.

Abstract
AIMS Investigation of the response of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to vascular mechanical forces is very important in the field of cardiovascular intervention. Ser/Thr-protein kinase Pim-1 is a novel transducer of cell survival and the cell cycle that promotes signals in the hematopoietic cell system. Current studies aim to foster an understanding of Pim-1 expression and regulation in MSCs in response to different durations and strengths of laminar shear stress (SS) and to investigate the role of Pim-1 in SS-induced cell proliferation. MAIN METHODS A parallel-plate flow chamber was used to control the strength and duration of SS. Proliferation was measured with the BrdU cell proliferation assay. The expressions of Pim-1 mRNA and protein were evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. RNA interference was used to knock down the Pim-1 gene. KEY FINDINGS The results showed that SS up-regulation of Pim-1 mRNA and protein was time-dependent. Pim-1 induction was SS strength-dependent, and the expression level reached a maximum at 30 dynes/cm(2). Inhibitors of p38MAPK and ERK attenuated the SS-induced expression of Pim-1. In addition, SS significantly increased BrdU-uptake, which was effectively blocked by the silencing of Pim-1. SIGNIFICANCE These results demonstrated that Pim-1 is expressed in MSCs and plays an important role in the SS-induced proliferation of MSCs.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded into Gelfoam® on structural bone allograft healing. Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were divided into two groups. Segmental bone defect was created on diaphysis of the femur, and the defect was reconstructed with structural bone allograft. In experimental group, structural allograft was wrapped around by Gelfoam® containing autologous MSCs, whereas cells were not included in control group. At 4, 8, 12 weeks, the femur of rabbits underwent radiographic and histologic evaluation for bony union. Bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2), BMP-4, BMP-7, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) were measured within the grafted periosteal tissue. Bony union was not achieved in both groups at 4 and 8 weeks. At 12 weeks, three out of five femurs in experimental group were united, but one out of five in control group was united. Mean Taira scores were significantly different between two groups. The expression of BMP-2 was significantly higher at 4, 8 weeks, the expressions of BMP-4 and BMP-7 were significantly higher at 8 and 12 weeks, and the expression of VEGF and RANKL were significantly higher at all time points in experimental group. Incorporation of the structural bone allograft could be enhanced if allograft is covered with Gelfoam® containing autologous MSCs. MSCs have influence on not only bone formation, but neo-angiogenesis, and bone resorption.

Abstract
Allograft (Allo) incorporation in the presence of a systemic disease like diabetes mellitus (DM) is becoming a major issue in the orthopedic community. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent stem cells that may be derived from adult, whole bone marrow and have been shown to induce bone formation in segmental defects when combined with the appropriate carrier/scaffold. The objectives of this study were to analyze the effect of DM upon Allo incorporation in a segmental rat femoral defect and to also investigate MSC augmentation of Allo incorporation. Segmental (5 mm) femoral defects were created in non-DM and DM rats and treated with Allo containing demineralized bone matrix (DBM) or DBM with MSC augmentation. Histological scoring at 4 weeks demonstrated less mature bone in the DM/DBM group compared to its non-DM counterpart (p < 0.001). However, there was significantly more mature bone in the DM/MSC group when compared to the DM/DBM group at both 4 and 8 weeks (p < 0.001 and p = 0.004). Furthermore, significantly more bone formation was observed in the DM/MSC group compared to the DM/DBM group at the 4-week time point (p < 0.001). The results of this study suggest that MSC are a potential adjunct for bone regeneration when implanted in an orthotopic site in the presence of DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) have great potential in bone repair. We developed an animal model to test the hypothesis that ex vivo gene transfer of human bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 to BMSCs via a replication-defective (E1A-deleted) adenovirus vector (AdV) with appropriate biopolymers would enhance autologous bone formation during repair of a large-scale skull defect. METHODS Eighteen miniature swine were treated with AdV BMP-2-transduced BMSCs in biopolymer (group 1), BMSCs in biopolymer (group 2), or biopolymer alone (group 3). After 6 months, the swine were killed, and the skull repair was examined by gross pictures, histology, 3-dimensional computed tomography, and biomechanical study. RESULTS Group 1 showed complete solid bone formation after 6 months, and hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrated the presence of mature, woven, well-mineralized bone. Computed tomography showed wholesome repair of the skull defect. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant difference in bone thickness between groups 1 and 2. Biomechanical testing showed a statistically significant difference in the stiffness of new bone formed in group 1 compared with group 2. CONCLUSION The Ad5 E1A-deleted AdV may be the optimal starting vector in ex vivo gene therapy for benign skeletal diseases. Additionally, the use of the gelatin/tricalcium phosphate ceramic/glutaraldehyde biopolymer with AdV BMP-2 gene transfer strongly enhances the bony healing of critical-size bicortical craniofacial defects. This method can be used by modifying the delivery of constructs to malunion treatment, in regional osteoporosis therapy, and spinal fusion.

Abstract
Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to potentially undergo chondrogenic differentiation. We propose a new matrix for stem cell-based chondrogenesis using dense fibrin microbeads (FMBs) combined with grounded dehydrothermally crosslinked collagen sponges (micronized collagen). Methods: In this study, MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of transgenic green fluorescent protein C57/Bl mice by FMBs in high yield. After 48 h in slowly rotating suspension culture, micronized collagen was added. Results: The cells on the FMBs migrated to the collagen pieces and formed aggregates that developed into cartilage-like structures. Following chondrogenic differentiation, alcian blue staining and collagen type II immunohistochemistry demonstrated the presence of chondrocytes in the 3D structures. PCR for the expression of aggrecan and collagen type II genes supported these findings. The in vitro structures that formed were used for ectopic subdermal implantation in wild-type C57/Bl mice. However, the chondrogenic markers faded relative to the pre-implant in vitro structures. Conclusion: We propose that FMBs with micronized collagen could serve as a simple technology for MSC isolation and chondrogenesis as a basis for implantation.

Abstract
Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into numerous cell lineages, making them ideal for tissue engineering. Mechanical forces and mechanotransduction are important factors influencing cell responses, although such data are limited for MSCs. We investigated the effect of different profiles of fluid flow-induced shear stress on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway gene expression in MSCs using DNA microarray and quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR analysis. In response to different magnitudes and durations of fluid flow-induced shear stress, we observed significant differential gene expression for various genes in the MAPK signaling pathway. Independent of magnitude and duration, shear stress induced consistent and marked up-regulation of MAP kinase kinase kinase 8 (MAP3K8) and interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) [2-fold to >35-fold, and 4-fold to >50-fold, respectively]. We also observed consistent up-regulation of dual specificity phosphatase 5 and 6, growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible alpha and beta, nuclear factor kappa-B subunit 1, Jun oncogene, fibroblast growth factor 1, and platelet-derived growth factor alpha. Our data support MAP3K8-induced activation of different MAPK signaling pathways in response to different profiles of shear stress, possibly as a consequence of shear-induced IL1B expression. Thus, MAP3K8 may be an important mediator of intracellular mechanotransduction in human MSCs.

Abstract
Evidence is discussed for the hypothesis that there are stromal 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 including the osteogenic line. Fibroblastic colonies, each derived from a single colony-forming unit fibroblastic (CFU-F), are formed when marrow cells are cultured in vitro. In vivo assays of CFU-F have demonstrated that some CFU-F have a high ability for self renewal and multipotentiality whereas some have more limited potential. In vitro studies also support the hypothesis and have shown that CFU-F are a heterogeneous population of stem and progenitor cells and that their differentiation in vitro can be modified at the colony level. Factors added to the medium can activate osteogenesis in a range of multipotential and more committed precursors. Different stromal cell lines can be promoted under different culture conditions. The number and hierarchy of cell lines belonging to the stromal fibroblastic system are not yet fully elucidated and more specific markers for the different lines are required before a better understanding can be achieved.

Abstract
Production of sufficient tissue in vitro for use in tissue engineering is limited mainly by the absence of adequate oxygenation and appropriate transport of nutrients to, and waste product from, the tissue. To overcome the limitations of diffusive transport, the possibility of growing three dimensional (3D) tissue structures by using hollow fibre membrane bioreactors (HFMB) has been considered in this study. The hollow fibre membranes, embedded in the 3D scaffold, are porous and semi-permeable and can thus serve similar functions to arteries and veins in vivo. Collagen gel and Cytodex 1 microcarriers were used as a composite 3D scaffold and permeating cellulose acetate hollow fibre membranes were attached to both ends of a polycarbonate cylindrical shell to form a bioreactor. Rat bone marrow fibroblastic (RBMF) cells were seeded initially onto Cytodex 1 microcarriers and these were subsequently mixed with collagen gel before inoculation into the bioreactor. Bioreactors were perfused by culture medium through the hollow fibre membranes for a one week period. Bioreactors containing cells cultured under similar conditions except for the lack of perfusion of medium served as controls. The proliferation, viability, metabolism and morphological appearances of the cells in the perfused and non-perfused constructs were compared. The results indicated that there was significantly greater maintenance of functional activity and normal cellular morphology in the perfused group than in the non-perfused group. Further studies are required to evaluate the additional advantages of using this novel HFMB for growing 3D dense tissues.

Abstract
Considerable research has been focused on the use of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the repair of non-unions and bone defects. To date, the question of whether transplanted MSCs survive and engraft within newly formed tissue remains unresolved. The development of an easy and reliable method that would allow cell fate monitoring in transplant recipients is a pressing concern for the field of tissue engineering. To demonstrate the presence of transplanted cells in newly formed bone, we established a xenograft nude rat model allowing the detection of murine LacZ MSCs in vivo. MSCs were isolated from transgenic lacZ mice, seeded onto bioabsorbable collagen sponges, and transplanted to repair a calvarial defect in nude rats. As a preliminary step, the histological procedure was adapted to optimize the detection of LacZ cells in bone tissue embedded in methylmethacrylate (MMA). Four fixatives and four fixation times were evaluated. Among all the fixatives tested, 2% formaldehyde/0.2% glutaraldehyde at 4C for 4 days gave the best results for X-gal staining at pH 7.4 on both cell cultures and bone explants. All fixatives were effective for immunodetection of beta-gal. In the chimeric LacZ/nude rat animal model, MSCs were detected in vivo for up to 4 weeks after implantation and contributed to the repair and the neovascularization of the bone defect. LacZ is a suitable phenotypic marker to track MSCs in skeletal tissues embedded in MMA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is poorly understood what kind of factors are involved in lineage commitment and maturation of mesenchymal stem cells. The present study investigates whether mechanical stress promotes expression of smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific cytoskeletal protein in marrow stromal cells. METHODS Fibroblast-like stromal cells expressing STRO-1 antigen were isolated from rat bone marrow by density gradient separation. After preincubation for 7, 14, or 21 days in static condition, cells were exposed to one of three types of fluid flow-induced mechanical forces (flow dominant, pressure dominant, or combined) for 36 hours. The expression of SMC-specific cytoskeletal protein [alpha smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA) and smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMMHC)] was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. RESULTS The proportion of SMMHC-positive cells was increased with longer preincubation periods (p < 0.01 vs 7-day incubation) and by any types of mechanical stimulation (p < 0.01 vs static control condition). The SMMHC-positive fraction after exposure to pressure-dominant forces (0.9% +/- 0.2%, 2.9% +/- 0.9%, and 12.6% +/- 0.8% for 7, 14, and 21 days of preincubation) or to combined forces (1.2% +/- 0.2%, 3.1% +/- 1.6%, and 15.5% +/- 2.8%) was higher than after flow-dominant stimulation (0, 1.2% +/- 0.1%, and 7.2% +/- 2.0%) (p < 0.01). In Western blotting, pressure-dominant or combined stimulation upregulated alphaSMA and SMMHC expression compared to static control condition. CONCLUSION The long-term cell incubation and subsequent mechanical stimulation, especially compressive strain, promote expression of SMC-specific cytoskeletal protein in marrow stromal cells.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) promote the differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, and also induce osteogenesis in bone marrow stromal cells (MSC) from rats and mice. However, compared to results with animal models, BMPs are relatively inefficient in inducing human MSC to undergo osteogenesis, and are much less effective in promoting bone formation in human clinical trials. Previous studies indicated that, while human MSC respond to dexamethasone with elevated levels of the osteoblast marker alkaline phosphatase, most isolates of human MSC fail to show alkaline phosphatase induction in response to BMP-2, BMP-4, or BMP-7. Several other genes known to be induced by BMPs are appropriately regulated; thus, human MSC are capable of some BMP-activated signaling. Analysis of the BMP receptors ALK-3 and ALK-6 indicated that, although ALK-6 mRNA was not expressed in human MSC, overexpressing a constitutively active ALK-6 receptor did not induce elevated alkaline phosphatase. Real-time RT-PCR was used to investigate expression of several osteoblast-related transcription factors in MSC after 6 days' exposure to BMP2 or dexamethasone. Msx-2, a transcription factor that has been reported to inhibit differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, showed 10-fold elevation in BMP-2-treated human MSC, but not in BMP-2-treated rat MSC. Overexpression of Msx-2 in human and rat MSC, however, did not alter alkaline phosphatase levels, which suggests that absence of BMP-stimulated alkaline phosphatase was not caused by the BMP-2-induced increase in Msx-2. Although Runx2 isoforms have been implicated in control of osteoblast differentiation, levels of this transcription factor were unaffected by BMP treatment. Expression of the FKHR transcription factor, which has been reported to regulate alkaline phosphatase transcription in mouse cells, showed a modest increase in response to BMP-2, but a much greater increase in dexamethasone-treated cells. We propose that BMP regulation of the bone/liver/kidney alkaline phosphatase gene is indirect, requiring expression of new transcription factor(s) that behave differently in rodent and human MSC.

Abstract
This study examines the clinical relevance of tissue engineering integrating gene therapy and polymer science to bone regeneration. Bilateral maxillary defects (3 x 1.2 cm(2)) in 20 miniature swine were bridged with a bioresorbable internal splint. Constructs were created using ex vivo adenovirus bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2-mediated gene transfer to the expanded bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) 7 days before implantation. Controls were performed using adenovirus beta-galactosidase. The BMP-2 cell/construct displayed white solid bone formation after 3 months. Meanwhile, the hematoxylin and eosin and Von Kossa stains demonstrated exhibited mature woven bone with good mineralization. Additionally, three-dimensional computer tomography imaging revealed a nearly complete infraorbital rim repair. Quantitative analysis demonstrated a significant difference (P<0.001) in bone formation. Finally, biomechanical testing revealed no statistically significant difference in the maximal compressive strength of new bone formed by BMP-2 cell constructs and the normal maxilla. The data evidenced de novo bone formation capable of sustaining axial compressive loads. The measurement results showed that ex vivo replication defective adenovirus-mediated human BMP-2 gene transfer to MSCs enhances autologous bone formation in the repair of maxillary defects.

Abstract
The stromal cells of the bone marrow are able to attach to the surface and differentiate into cells with bone-forming capability when stimulated with osteogenic supplements. In this study, we have employed a flow-chamber device containing a collagen-coated surface to enrich the potential osteoprogenitor cells from bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). The population of the cells attached to the collagen-coated substratum is about twice that attached to the uncoated surface. In the flow chamber, almost all marrow cells attached on the untreated glass were flushed out at the shear stress of 1.10 dyne/cm(2). On the other hand, 25% of the marrow cells remained attached to the collagen-coated glass, even under the shear stress of 1.30 dyne/cm(2). The collagen-attached marrow cells exhibited similar, specific alkaline phosphatase activity compared with that of the cells attached to the uncoated dish in the early stage of culturing. Nevertheless, only the collagen-attached marrow cells later expressed significant amounts of osteocalcin, which is a specific marker for osteoblast cells. Thus, we have successfully developed a protocol that uses a collagen-coated surface efficiently in a flow chamber to enrich the osteogenic cells from the BMSCs. This provides a useful tool to obtain osteogenic cells from bone marrow for biologic and clinical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE For approximately 5% of autologous transplant recipients and a higher proportion of allogeneic transplant recipients, low level and delayed platelet engraftment is an ongoing problem. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), which can be derived from bone marrow as well as other organs, are capable of differentiation into multiple cell types and also support hematopoiesis in vitro. Because cotransplantation of marrow-derived stromal cells has been shown to enhance engraftment of human hematopoietic stem cells, we hypothesized that cotransplantation of MSC could enhance platelet and myeloid cell development. MATERIALS AND METHODS We tested this hypothesis by transplantation of CD34-selected mobilized human peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) into sublethally irradiated NOD/SCID mice with or without culture-expanded human MSC and evaluated human myeloid, lymphoid, and megakaryocytic engraftment with flow cytometry and in vitro cultures. RESULTS We find that MSC cotransplantation enhances human cell engraftment when a limiting dose (<1 x 10(6)) of CD34 cells is administered. This enhancement is characterized by a shift in the differentiation of human cells from predominantly B lymphocytes to predominantly CD13(+), CD14(+), and CD33(+) myeloid cells with a corresponding increase in myeloid CFU in the marrow. Megakaryocytopoiesis is enhanced by MSC cotransplantation as assessed by an increase in both marrow CFU-MK and circulating human platelets. In contrast, MSC do not affect the percentage of human bone marrow cells that expresses CD34(+). CONCLUSIONS Cotransplantation of human mesenchymal stem cells with CD34(+)-selected hematopoietic stem cells enhances myelopoiesis and megakaryocytopoiesis.

Abstract
The bone marrow contains mesenchymal cells that can be divided into two categories: cells of hemopoietic lineage and stromal cells. The stromal cells are adhesive to the surface of culture dish, and could be differentiated into cells with bone-forming capability when stimulated with osteogenic supplements. In this study, we have employed collagen to immobilize cells with osteogenic potential from bone marrow. A more than two-fold increase in cell density was obtained on the collagen-coated substratum as compared to the uncoated ones. The selected marrow cells exhibited elevated alkaline phosphatase activity in parallel with the proliferation of the cells attached to the collagen surface. The osteoblastic expression of the selected cells was further confirmed by the histological stains of alkaline phosphatase and mineral deposit. This method provides a simple and fast screening technique to isolate osteoprogenitor-enriched population from the bone marrow stromal cells. It has a great potential for future biological and clinical applications.

Abstract
Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been shown to be progenitor cells for mesenchymal tissues. These cells may also provide a potential therapy for bone repair. Our previous studies showed that MSC engineered with the gene for bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), a growth factor for bone cells, were capable of differentiating into osteoblast lineage and inducing autologous bone formation in several animal models. Culturing individual MSC for autologous implantation, however, remains problematic. The number of human MSC with osteogenic potential decreases with age, and, in certain diseases, the patient's marrow may be damaged or the healthy cells reduced in number. In this study, we used rats with a femoral segmental defect to investigate whether allogeneic BMP-2 engineered MSC would facilitate bone healing. We show that BMP-2 engineered allogeneic MSC can repair critical bone defects to the same degree as rats treated with BMP-2 engineered autologous MSC, if the allogeneic group receives short-term treatment with immunosuppressant FK506. We also show that allogeneic gene transferred MSC are directly involved in bone repair, in addition to acting as gene deliverers.

Abstract
Bone marrow contains many cellular elements that may contribute to fracture repair. We used a pluripotential stromal cell in a mouse model to demonstrate the presence of transplanted cells in fracture hematoma and subsequently in maturing fracture callus. Cells were transduced with traceable genes (lac Z and neomycin resistance) and traced in vivo after intravenous injection into syngeneic mice. These transduced cells home to bone marrow, suggesting that they might be detected in fracture callus. Cells were injected intravenously into mice and stabilized femoral shaft fractures were induced. Control mice received intravenous lactated-Ringer's solution prior to fracture. Callus tissue and marrow were examined histologically from I to 10 weeks after fracture to detect transplanted cells. Transplanted cells were detected in fracture callus in areas, and at times, of most active bone formation. Control specimens showed minimal staining of the callus tissue. Levels of the traceable gene in fracture callus increased, reached a peak between 3 and 4 weeks after fracture, then diminished and disappeared by 10 weeks post-fracture as woven bone at the fracture site was replaced by lamellar bone with cells from the host mouse. The results show that pluripotent bone marrow cells home to the marrow after systemic injection and localize in fracture callus.

Abstract
Since its discovery four decades ago, the satellite cell of skeletal muscle has been implicated as the major source of myogenic cells involved in growth and repair of muscle fibres. This review not only looks at the role of the satellite cell in these processes but discusses how cells derived from other sources and tissues have recently been implicated in muscle formation and regeneration. Muscle itself also yields cells that contribute to other cell lineages although it is currently debated as to whether these cells originate within muscle or have migrated there from other tissues. The reality of using cells from muscle or other tissues to repair diseased muscle fibres is also addressed.

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.

Abstract
It has been difficult to characterize murine bone marrow (BM)-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) because of contamination with hematopoietic cells. We took advantage of the rapid proliferation of MPCs after replating to enrich murine MPCs by transfection with a retroviral vector carrying both LacZ and the selective neomycin resistance (neoR) gene. Freshly harvested BM cells from mice were incubated with BAG retroviral vector produced by amphotropic psi-CRIP or ecotropic psi-CRE producer cells for 48 hours and grown in the presence of G418.Cells incubated in psi-CRIP supernatant formed colonies composed of large homogeneous cells that were free of CD45(+) cells, but cells incubated in psi-CRE supernatant did not form stromal cell colonies. In the undifferentiated state, the cells displayed a fibroblast-like phenotype with low alkaline phosphatase activity. However, upon treatment with dexamethasone or 5-azacytidine, the retrovirally transduced cells differentiated into oil-red-O-positive adipocytic cells and osteogenic cells generating von Kossa-positive bone nodules. Osteogenic supplements composed of beta-glycerophosphate, dexamethasone, and ascorbic acid induced an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity and acute osteogenesis associated with early cell detachment. Subcutaneous injection with retrovirally transduced cells into day 1 newborn mice of the same strain produced ectopic calcium depositions surrounded by X-gal(+) cells. Retroviral selection of cycling adherent cells is an effective approach for enrichment of MPCs.

Abstract
The effect of steroids on adipogenesis by D1-BAG, a pluripotent cell cloned from mouse bone marrow and transfected with traceable genes encoding beta-galactosidase and neomycin resistance, was investigated in vitro in culture and in vivo after injection into mice. Treatment of D1-BAG cells in culture with dexamethasone produced an accumulation of lipid vesicles and stimulated expression of the fat cell-specific 422(aP2) mRNA. Fifty-six mice each received 1 x 10(6) D1-BAG cells, either by tail-vein injection or by direct injection into the marrow of the right femur. Another 38 mice received either saline injection or no treatment as controls. Half of the animals in each group were treated with 3 mg/kg of methylprednisolone per week. Analysis of marrow blow-outs by flow cytometry, DNA analysis by PCR, and X-gal stain of histological sections indicated that cells transplanted by either intravenous or intramedullary injection had appeared and persisted in the marrow of host mice. Cell sorting by flow cytometry and staining with Sudan IV demonstrated that steroid treatment produced adipogenesis in 5-9% of transplanted cells. The results indicate that steroid-induced differentiation of potentially osteogenic marrow cells into adipocytes in vivo may contribute to the development of osteoporosis and osteonecrosis.

Abstract
To study the mechanisms of fracture healing, we investigated the interaction between fracture hematoma and periosteum during the early phase of fracture healing in rats. Experimentally induced fractures of the tibia in untreated rats were compared histologically with such fractures in rats in which either the bone marrow or the periosteum had been removed. The extent of periosteal cell proliferation and chondrogenesis in the fracture hematoma was evaluated on experimental days 3, 6, 10, and 14. On day 3, periosteal cell proliferation at the tibial fracture site was decreased in the bone marrow-removed rats compared with the proliferation in untreated rats. Little chondrogenesis in the fracture hematoma was seen through day 6 in the periosteum-removed rats. These results suggest that the periosteum is important for mediating the primary steps of chondrogenesis and enchondral ossification in the fracture hematoma and that the fracture hematoma may be essential for periosteal cell proliferation during fracture healing.

Abstract
The effects of steroids on a cloned pluripotential cell from bone marrow stroma were examined in vitro in culture and in vivo after the cells were transfected with a traceable gene and transplanted into host mice. Bipedal chickens were treated with steroids to establish a model for osteonecrosis. The effects of a lipid lowering agent, lovastatin, on the prevention of steroid induced adipogenesis in vitro in cell culture, and on adipogenesis and osteonecrosis in vivo in chickens, were evaluated. On treatment with dexamethasone, cloned pluripotential cells began to differentiate into adipocytes and expressed a fat specific gene, whereas the expression of Type I collagen and osteocalcin messenger ribonucleic acid decreased. Addition of lovastatin in culture inhibited steroid induced fat gene expression and counteracted the inhibitory effect of steroids on osteoblastic gene expression. Cloned pluripotential cells were transduced with a traceable retrovirus vector encoding the beta-galactosidase and neomycin resistance genes. The transfected cells were administered to mice either by tail vein or by direct intramedullary injection. Half of the animals in each group were treated with steroids. Histologic sections showed the appearance of transplanted cells in the marrow. Analysis of marrow blowouts by flow cytometry revealed that steroid treatment produced adipogenesis in transplanted cells. Evidence of osteonecrosis was observed in steroid treated chickens, whereas sections from animals treated with steroids and lovastatin showed less adipogenesis and no bone death. The results indicate that steroid induced adipogenesis in the marrow may contribute to osteonecrosis and that lovastatin may be helpful in preventing the development of steroid induced osteonecrosis.

Abstract
Autologous bone marrow cells (BMC), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and natural coral exoskeleton (CC) were used to enhance the repair of large skull bone defects in a craniotomy model. Nine millimeter calvarial defects were created in adult rats and were either left empty (control defects) or implanted with CC alone, CC-BMC, CC-BMP, or CC-BMC-BMP. After 1 or 2 months, osteogenesis was insufficient to allow union when defects were left empty or filled with CC. Addition of BMC alone to CC had no positive influence on osteogenesis at any time and increased CC resorption at 2 months (0.1 +/- 0.1 mm2 versus 0.5 +/- 0.3 mm2). In contrast addition of BM P or BM P/BMC to CC led to a significant increase in osteogenesis and allowed bone union after 1 month. At 2 months, the combination of CC-BM P-BMC was the most potent activator of osteogenesis. Filling a defect with CC-BMP-BMC resulted in significantly increased bone surface area (11 +/- 2.7 mm2) in comparison to filling a defect with CC-BMP (7.0 +/- 1.4 mm2), CC-BMC (3.5 +/- 1.1 mm2) or CC (4.5 +/- 0.4 mm2). CC resorption was significantly decreased in the presence of BMP with or without BMC at both times. These data are in accordance with the presence of progenitor cells in bone marrow that are inducible by BMP to the osteogenic pathway in a cranial site. The increase in material resorption in defects filled with CC-BMC could suggest that cells from the granulocyte-macrophage lineage survived the grafting procedure and were still active after 2 months.

Abstract
The interface of implanted True Bone Ceramics (TBC; sintered bovine bone; Koken, Tokyo, Japan) was examined. In the primary experiment, TBC was implanted into the bone marrow of a rabbit's femur. The extracellular matrices (types I, II, and III collagens and fibronectin) of decalcified specimens collected 1-48 weeks postoperatively were immunohistochemically examined. Undecalcified sections collected 6 weeks postoperatively were used for line analyses of calcium and phosphorus, by a scanning electron microscope-electron probe microanalysis (SEM-EPMA) method. In a secondary experiment, TBC was implanted into an osteochondral defect of a femoral condyle, harvested 1-12 weeks postoperatively, and decalcified to examine the extracellular matrices at the interface. In the bone marrow in the early phase, TBC had absorbed quantities of fibronectin. Immature bone (containing both types I and III collagens) in direct apposition to the ceramic surface had matured (containing type I collagen alone) in the TBC pores. SEM-EPMA revealed the continuity of high levels of calcium and phosphorus at the TBC-bone interface. In the secondary experiment, enchondral ossification or fibrous tissue formation was observed near the articular surface. However, in the subchondral layer, direct bone formation was observed in the TBC pores. It was concluded that TBC has excellent bioactivity for inducing maturation of new bone matrix on porous surfaces.

Abstract
Marrow stromal cells from wild-type mice were infused into transgenic mice that had a phenotype of fragile bones resembling osteogenesis imperfecta because they expressed a human minigene for type I collagen. In mice that were irradiated with potentially lethal levels (700 cGy) or sublethal levels (350 cGy), DNA from the donor marrow stromal cells was detected consistently in marrow, bone, cartilage, and lung either 1 or 2.5 mo after the infusions. The DNA also was detected but less frequently in the spleen, brain, and skin. There was a small but statistically significant increase in both collagen content and mineral content of bone 1 mo after the infusion. Similar results were obtained with infusion of relatively large amounts of wild-type whole marrow cells into the transgenic mice. In experiments in which male marrow stromal cells were infused into a female osteogenesis imperfecta-transgenic mouse, fluorescense in situ hybridization assays for the Y chromosome indicated that, after 2.5 mo, donor male cells accounted for 4-19% of the fibroblasts or fibroblast-like cells obtained in primary cultures of the lung, calvaria, cartilage, long bone, tail, and skin. In a parallel experiment in which whole marrow cells from a male mouse were infused into a female immunodeficient rag-2 mouse, donor male cells accounted for 4-6% of the fibroblasts or fibroblast-like cells in primary cultures. The results support previous suggestions that marrow stromal cells or related cells in marrow serve as a source for continual renewal of cells in a number of nonhematopoietic tissues.

Abstract
We transduced osteoprogenitor cells with recombinant retrovirus and analyzed proviral integration patterns into chromosomal DNA to detect for the first time the clonal and cellular fate of osteoprogenitor-derived progeny cells. Metaphyseal bone cells and diaphyseal stromal cells were isolated from the distal femurs of young rats, transduced with the vM5neolacZ recombinant retrovirus, and selected in the neomycin analog, G418. Following surgical marrow ablation of a femur in one leg of mature rats, retroviral-transduced metaphyseal or diaphyseal cells were injected into the ablated site. These rats were killed 5-6 days later. Metaphyseal and diaphyseal cells were isolated from distal femurs, selected in G418, and stained for beta-galactosidase (beta-gal+). The number and clonal origin of transduced progenitor cells were determined. High numbers of beta-galactosidase colonies with an osteoblast phenotype were obtained following metaphyseal transplants and detected in 100% of metaphyseal and none of diaphyseal specimens. In contrast, beta-galactosidase colonies derived from diaphyseal transplants were detected in 50% of specimens in both the metaphysis and diaphysis, and the absolute number of progenitor cell colonies was 60-fold less than metaphyseal transplants. Provirus was only detected in the ablated bones and not in the contralateral bone or other tissues. Proviral integration fragment analysis showed a single integration site for recovered metaphyseal cell clones, consistent with their origination from a common single progenitor. This is one of the first demonstrations of successful transplantation of clonal osteoprogenitors to their site of origin in bone. It may be possible to use these cells to target genes to bone for therapeutic use in skeletal and hematopoietic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Marrow stromal fibroblasts (MSFs) are known to contain bone precursor cells. However, the osteogenic potential of human MSFs has been poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to compare the osteogenic capacity of mouse and human MSFs after implantation in vivo. METHODS After in vitro expansion, MSFs were loaded into a number of different vehicles and transplanted subcutaneously into immunodeficient mice. RESULTS Mouse MSFs transplanted within gelatin, polyvinyl sponges, and collagen matrices all formed a capsule of cortical-like bone surrounding a cavity with active hematopoiesis. In transplants of MSFs from transgenic mice harboring type I procollagen-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase constructs, chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity was maintained for up to 14 weeks, indicating prolonged bone formation by transplanted MSFs. New bone formation by human MSFs was more dependent on both the in vitro expansion conditions and transplantation vehicles. Within gelatin, woven bone was observed sporadically and only after culture in the presence of dexamethasone and L-ascorbic acid phosphate magnesium salt n-hydrate. Consistent bone formation by human MSFs was achieved only within vehicles containing hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate ceramics (HA/TCP) in the form of blocks, powder, and HA/TCP powder-type I bovine fibrillar collagen strips, and bone was maintained for at least 19 weeks. Cells of the new bone were positive for human osteonectin showing their donor origin. HA/TCP powder, the HA/TCP powder-type I bovine fibrillar collagen strips, and HA/TCP powder held together with fibrin were easier to load and supported more extensive osteogenesis than HA/TCP blocks and thus may be more applicable for therapeutic use. CONCLUSIONS In this article, we describe the differences in the requirements for mouse and human MSFs to form bone, and report the development of a methodology for the consistent in vivo generation of extensive bone from human MSFs.

Abstract
Marrow stromal cells can be isolated from other cells in marrow by their tendency to adhere to tissue culture plastic. The cells have many of the characteristics of stem cells for tissues that can roughly be defined as mesenchymal, because they can be differentiated in culture into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, and even myoblasts. Therefore, marrow stromal cells present an intriguing model for examining the differentiation of stem cells. Also, they have several characteristics that make them potentially useful for cell and gene therapy.

Abstract
Bone maintenance requires a continuous source of osteoblasts throughout life. Its remodeling and regeneration during fracture repair is ensured by osteoprogenitor stem cells which are part of the stroma of the bone marrow (BM). Many investigators have reported that in cultured BM stromal cells there is a cell population that will differentiate along an osteogenic lineage if stimulated by the addition of osteogenic inducers, such as dexamethasone (dex), beta-glycerophosphate (beta-GP), transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta 1) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). Here we report the effects of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) on the osteogenic differentiation of BM stromal cells in vitro, using morphological criteria, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity, and calcium accumulation. DBM and DBM-conditioned medium (DBMcm) enhanced bone formation in the presence of dex and beta-GP, whereas DBM particles caused changes in the cell phenotype. Temporal expression of total and skeletal AP by BM stromal cells from 4-week-old rats showed a biphasic pattern enhanced by DBM and suggesting the presence of two cell populations. In one population, AP synthesis reaches a maximum during the first week in culture, following which cells either die or loose their ability to synthesize AP. A second, less abundant population begins to proliferate and synthesize AP during the second and third weeks. The synthesis of AP, which often decreases by the third week, can be maintained at high levels only if DBM is added to the cultures. BM stromal cells isolated from 24- and 48-week-old rats showed a decrease or loss of this biphasic AP expression pattern compared with cells isolated from 4-week-old rats. The addition of DBM to cultures derived from 24- and 48-week-old rats stimulated mostly the second cell population to synthesize AP, suggesting that DBM contains a factor(s) that acts on a specific bone marrow cell population by increasing the proliferation of active cells or inducing the differentiation of dormant cells.

Abstract
Osteopetrosis is an inherited disorder characterized by bone sclerosis due to reduced bone resorption. Here we report that human osteopetrotic osteoblast-like (Ob) cells express a defective phenotype in primary cultures in vitro, and that bone marrow transplant (BMT) corrects osteoblast function. DNA analysis at polymorphic short-tandem repeat loci from donor, recipient, and primary Ob-like cells pre-BMT and 2 yr post-BMT revealed that Ob were still of recipient origin post-BMT. Osteopetrotic Ob-like cells obtained pre-BMT showed normal and abnormal 1,25(OH)2D3-induced alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) and osteocalcin production, respectively, and failed to produce macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in response to IL-1a and TNF-alpha. These parameters were all normalized in primary Ob-like cells prepared 2 yr post-BMT. X-linked clonality analysis at the human androgen receptor (HUMARA) locus revealed that osteoblasts showed a polyclonal and an oligoclonal derivation pre- and post-BMT respectively, indicating that a limited number of progenitor reconstituted this population. Because osteoblasts were still of recipient origin post-BMT, this suggests that functional osteoclasts, due to the replacement of hematopoeitic cells, provided a local microenvironment in vivo triggering the differentiation and/or recruitment of a limited number of functional osteoblasts.
