A functional relationship between cell growth and the initiation and progression of events associated with differentiation has been viewed by developmental biologists for more than a century as a fundamental question. Bone is a tissue where the relationship of growth and differentiation must be maintained and stringently regulated both during development and throughout the life of the organism to support tissue remodeling. Two distinct pathways are associated with bone formation, each necessitating a highly interdependent series of processes and signaling mechanisms and both dependent upon proliferation for increasing tissue mass as weU as for regulation of key components of bone ceU phenotype expression. In one pathway, intmmembranous bone development, bone tissue forms directly by progenitor ceU differentiation to committed osteoblasts which produce high levels of type I collagen, alkaline phosphatase and unique non-collagenous proteins that promote extracellular matrix mineralization. The second, more complex pathway, endochondral bone formation, initially involves chondrogenesis and resorption of calcified cartilage, followed by osteogenesis. Signals for osteoblast differentiation can therefore derive from multiple sources. The complexity of bone cell ditTerentiation is further illustrated by the remodeling of all bone, because here the matuxation and/or activation of osteoclasts (multinucleated resorbing cells of bone) requires, in part, factors produced by osteoblasts. Osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, in turn, are regulated by factors (growth factors, chemotactic proteins) released from the bone matrix undergoing resorption, thereby regulating tissue stability and turnover in response to changes in skeletal requirements or physiologic calcium demands. Another important component of osteoblast differentiation is acquisition of competency for responsiveness to hormones, which regulate both bone formation and turnover.
