Origin and characterization of multipotential mesenchymal stem cells derived from adult human trabecular bone.

Much of the knowledge regarding the regulatory pathways for adult stem cell self-renewal and differentiation has been obtained from the results of in vitro cultures. However, it is unclear if adult stem cells are controlled in the same way under physiological conditions. We examined this issue with respect to the migration of stem cells to tissue injury and how switch from a migratory state to one of proliferation wherein they participate in development. Building on our previous identification of multipotent stem cells in trabecular bone, we have examined the in vitro behavior of these cells within the bone milieu. We found that cell proliferation is inhibited within the trabecular bone niche as cells migrate out of the trabecular bone prior to proliferation. Additionally, multiple cell types were detected in adult trabecular bone, including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, endothelial cells, and Stro-1-positive mesenchymal stem cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Stro-1-positive cells migrated out of their native bone niche to generate multipotential stem and progenitor cells during in vitro culture. We conclude that self-renewal and differentiation of adult stem cells in connective tissues are tightly controlled and separately orchestrated processes. A regulatory network of extrinsic factors and intrinsic signals acts to stimulate the exit of stem cells from their niche so that they can localize to sites of wound healing, where they participate in development after functional differentiation.
