The mesodermal clone C1 was derived from the multipotent embryonal carcinoma 1003 cell line transformed with the plasmid pK4 carrying SV40 oncogenes under the control of the adenovirus E1A promoter. We have shown that the C1 clone becomes committed to the osteogenic pathway when cultured in aggregates in the presence of mediators of the osteogenic differentiation. To further validate C1 as a model with which to study osteogenesis in vitro the kinetics of its differentiation was studied, focusing on the histology of the aggregates and on the expression of a set of genes corresponding to representative bone matrix proteins. The presence of ascorbic acid and beta- glycerophosphate specifically leads to mineralization in almost 100% of the aggregates. Transcription of the above genes, silent in exponentially growing cells, specifically occurred with the establishment of cell-cell contacts independently of the presence of ascorbic acid and inorganic phosphate. The latter, however, were absolutely required for matrix deposition and mineralization. In their presence, one observed an overall decline in type I collagen and alkaline phosphatase transcripts while osteocalcin and osteopontin transcripts preferentially accumulated in cells lining the mineralizing foci. Concomitantly, type I collagen and osteocalcin became extracellularly deposited. The osteogenic differentiation of C1 occurred while cells were still proliferating. The C1 clone thus behaves as a mesodermal stem cell, becoming committed to the osteogenic pathway upon: firstly, establishment of cellular contacts; and secondly, addition of ascorbate and beta-glycerophosphate. It therefore appears to be a promising in vitro system for deciphering the molecular basis of osteoblast ontogeny.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
