| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neural crest cells migrate extensively within the embryo as neural crest-derived cells (NCDCs) to reach target sites. Some NCDCs are maintained in an undifferentiated state throughout the life of primate. Therefore, it is considered that NCDCs are a useful cell source for regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy. To analyze the osteoblastic differentiation potential of NC-derived hair follicle cells (NCDFCs) of adult tissues, we utilized an established line of double transgenic mice in which NCDCs express green fluorescent protein throughout their life. NCDCs were observed in the bulge, which contains adult stem cells, and dermal papilla in adult mice. NCDFCs have high proliferative potential and that many proliferative cells expressed the mesenchymal stem cells marker. NCDFCs differentiated into osteoblast-like cells and support osteoclast differentiation. There results indicate that NCDFCs may be an ideal candidate cell source for bone regenerative medicine.
