Endochondral Bone Development
Longitudinal views depicting key steps of endochondral bone formation in mouse limbs.
- a - Prx1+ progenitors from lateral plate mesoderm proliferate to populate the emerging limb bud.
- b - Cells nearest the centre undergo mesenchymal condensation, express Col2a1 as they enter a chondrogenic differentiation program, and deposit a cartilage template.
- c to d - Differentiating cells upregulate Col10a1 as they become hypertrophic, which triggers local formation of a bone collar and vascularization of the cartilage template. Invading blood vessels deliver an influx of haematopoietic cells that give rise to osteoclasts which excavate the cartilage template, and Osx1+ osteoblast progenitors and other blood cell types that populate the newly formed marrow cavity.
- d - A longitudinal growth axis is established when vascularization and osteoclast-mediated resorption bisect the presumptive skeletal element, producing two growth plates with opposing directionality. A perpendicular growth axis is driven by periosteal osteoblasts and allows the bone to grow in width.
- e - Within the remodelled cartilage template, bone-forming osteoblasts are derived from Osx1+ cells arriving with the invading vasculature, as well as hypertrophic Col10a1+ chondroctyes that transdifferentiate as they exit the growth plate into the marrow cavity. As bones grow in length and width, a second wave of vascularization forms the secondary ossification centres.
- f - Mature endochondral bone.
