Kinship of conditionally immortalized cells derived from fetal bone to human bone-derived mesenchymal stroma cells
Abstract The human fetal osteoblast cell line (hFOB 1.19) has been proposed as an accessible experimental model for study of osteoblast biology relating to drug development and biomaterial engineering.

| Sumario: | Abstract The human fetal osteoblast cell line (hFOB 1.19) has been proposed as an accessible experimental model for study of osteoblast biology relating to drug development and biomaterial engineering. For their multilineage differentiation potential, hFOB has been compared to human mesenchymal progenitor cells and used to investigate bone-metabolism in vitro. Hereby, we studied whether and to what extent the conditionally immortalized cell line hFOB 1.19 can serve as a surrogate model for bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (bmMSC). hFOB indeed exhibit specific characteristics reminiscent of bmMSC, as colony formation, migration capacity and the propensity to grow as multicellular aggregates. After prolonged culture, in contrast to the expected effect of immortalization, hFOB acquired a delayed growth rate. In close resemblance to bmMSC at increasing passages, also hFOB showed morphological abnormalities, enlargement and finally reduced proliferation rates together with enhanced expression of the cell cycle inhibitors p21 and p16. hFOB not only have the ability to undergo multilineage differentiation but portray several important aspects of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells. Superior to primary MSC and osteoblasts, hFOB enabled the generation of continuous cell lines. These provide an advanced basis for investigating age-related dysfunctions of MSCs in an in vitro 3D-stem cell microenvironment. |
