Recapitulation of endochondral ossification by human pluripotent stem cell-derived SOX9+ sclerotomal progenitors

GSE222109 Homo sapiens Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing 9 samples Submitted 2025/02/21 Platform GPL11154
Summary
Regeneration of human cartilage and bone remains a challenge due to the limitations from current stem cell sources. Here, we developed a four-day differentiation strategy that achieved near uniform derivation (>98.5%) of SOX9+ sclerotomal progenitors from multiple human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Importantly, SOX9+ sclerotomal progenitors exhibited typical bipotential of mesenchymal progenitors during skeletal development. Upon lineage-specific induction, they were able to differentiate either into chondroprogenitors that could repair articular cartilage defects and early chondrocytes that could undergo endochondral ossification for human bone formation. Furthermore, we identified ITGA9 as the specific surface marker that facilitated reporter-independent isolation of SOX9+ sclerotomal progenitors and established an in vitro culture system that could expand these cells for at least 15,000-fold. Collectively, these findings highlight the SOX9+ sclerotomal progenitors as a promising stem cell source for next-generation human cartilage/bone bioengineering.
