Bone development
Outline
• Bone composition – matrix + mineral• Bone formation - intramembranous & endochondral• Types of bone - woven & lamellar
Bone formation: cell lineages
Lateral plate mesodermappendicular skeleton – limbsendochondral ossification
Neural crestflat bones of skull & jawintramembranous ossification
Paraxial mesoderm (somites)axial skeleton - vertebral column endochondral ossification
Two processes of bone formation(ossification)
Intramembranous ossification Flat bones - osteoblasts differentiate from progenitors and form bone directly
Endochondral ossification Long bones - formed initially as a cartilage model which is then replaced by bone
Regulation of chondrogenic / osteogenicdifferentiation
Osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal cells induced when Wntproteins (350-400 a.a. ‘cytokines’) bind to LRP 5/6 & Frizzled co-receptors
→ stabilisation / accumulation of β-catenin
→ increased expression of Runx2 (Cbfa1) - osteogenic transcription factor
→ increased expression of Osx (Osterix) - osteogenic transcription factor
+ decreased expression of genes required for chondrogenesis
Development of flat bones in human head(‘intramenbranous ossification’)
Intramenbranous ossificationBone formation without a cartilage model
Intramembranous ossificationBone formation without a cartilage model
Intramembranous ossificationNewly formed bone may be remodelled quickly by osteoclasts

Tooth eruption (cat)remodelling of alveolar bone to accommodate developing tooth
Tooth eruption (cat)remodelling of woven alveolar bone to accommodate tooth
Two types of bone
Woven (immature, fracture)
large, rounded osteocytes
osteocytes irregularly spaced
randomly oriented collagen fibres
variable collagen fibre diameter
rapid matrix mineralisation
forms rapidly
rapid turnover
Lamellar (mature, adult)
smaller, flattened osteocytes
osteocytes regularly spaced
collagen fibres show regular, “plywood” orientation – confers strength
regular collagen fibre diameter
delayed matrix mineralisation (few days)
forms slowly
slow turnover
Adult lamellar bone
trabecular, cancellous
cortical, compact

Cartilage
Simplest tissue
- no nerves, no blood vessels
- only cells + ECM
- primitive…
