Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: Osteoblasts are derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and play important role in bone remodeling. While our previous studies have investigated the cell subtypes and heterogeneity in osteoblasts and BMMSCs separately, cell-to-cell communications between osteoblasts and BMMSCs in humans have not been characterized. The aim of this study was to investigate the cellular communication between human primary osteoblasts and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
Methods And Results: To investigate the cell-to-cell communications between osteoblasts and BMMSCs and identify new cell subtypes, we performed a systematic integration analysis with our single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) transcriptomes data from BMMSCs and osteoblasts. We successfully identified a novel preosteoblasts subtype which highly expressed ATF3, CCL2, CXCL2 and IRF1. Biological functional annotations of the transcriptomes suggested that the novel preosteoblasts subtype may inhibit osteoblasts differentiation, maintain cells to a less differentiated status and recruit osteoclasts. Ligand-receptor interaction analysis showed strong interaction between mature osteoblasts and BMMSCs. Meanwhile, we found was highly expressed in BMMSCs of osteogenic differentiation direction. WIF1 and , which were highly expressed in mature osteoblasts were reported to inhibit osteogenic differentiation. We speculated that WIF1 and sFRP4 expressed in mature osteoblasts inhibited the binding of FZD1 to Wnt ligand in BMMSCs, thereby further inhibiting osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs.
Conclusions: Our study provided a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of the heterogeneity of osteogenic cells. At the single cell level, this study provided insights into the cell-to-cell communications between BMMSCs and osteoblasts and mature osteoblasts may mediate negative feedback regulation of osteogenesis process.

Osteoblast differentiation is essential for skeletal development and homeostasis. Although bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BM-MSCs) are commonly used to study osteoblast differentiation in the context of bone homeostasis, their relevance to osteoblast differentiation during human skeletal development remains unclear. To understand the regulatory mechanisms underlying osteoblast differentiation in a human developmental context, we performed Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) and RNA-seq analyses on osteoblasts isolated from an in vivo implantation system using induced sclerotome derived from Col2.

Objective And Design: Septic patients often exhibit disruption of the normal hematopoiesis, leading to hematological abnormalities such as anaemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. We hypothesized that sepsis-induced changes in bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) contribute to the abnormal hematopoiesis observed in these patients.
Material And Methods: We established lineages of BM-MSCs from male BALB/c mice collected 8 h after the sham (MSC-CT) or cecal ligation and puncture surgery (MSC-Sepsis).

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate into cells of multiple lineages and play an essential role in bone formation, tissue regeneration, immunomodulation and are also necessary to maintain hematopoiesis in bone marrow. The lineage commitment of MSCs into osteoblasts is controlled by several factors including mechanical signals from the microenvironment. Mechanosensor proteins regulate the interaction of the cells with the microenvironment and control several cellular functions.

The normal hematopoiesis of the body depends on the interaction between hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that support the growth and development of hematopoietic cells. However, the separation of MSCs from bone marrow is somewhat limited, and the researchers have turned their attention to stromal cells outside the bone marrow. As the largest organ of human body, skeletal muscle tissue stores a variety of muscle-derived vascular stem/progenitor cells, including muscle-derived pericytes/perivascular cells (MD-PCs) and skeletal muscle derived myoendothelial cells (MECs).

Background And Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), possessing multilineage potential, are capable of differentiating into osteoblasts and thus serve as suitable seed cells for bone regeneration. Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B (TNFRSF11B) gene encodes osteoprotegerin (OPG), which has a critical role in repressing osteoclast differentiation and has been reported to influence the adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). Nevertheless, the impact of TNFRSF11B on the osteogenic differentiation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) remains unclear.
