[Reproduction and differentiation of the cells in enchondral osteogenesis].
Light and electron-microscopical 3H-thymidine autoradiography was used to study the dynamics of cell populations in the zones of enchondral osteogenesis in a tubular bone. In the early postnatal ontogenesis little differentiated perivascular cells are characterized by the highest proliferative activity in this region; they are considered as a population containing initial forms of the histogenetic sequence (differon) of the stromal fibroblast-like cells including osteoblasts. Differentiation of osteogenic cells from the initial forms to the mature osteoblasts proceeds through a number of successive divisions (1-3 divisions) and is accompanied by a decrease in the proliferative activity due to the increase in the generation time and decrease in the cell proliferative pool. The major part of osteoblasts is outside the mitotic cycle. At the later stages of ontogenesis the intensity of growth processes in the bone is provided for by changes in the proliferative pool of the committed precursor cells (preosteoblasts) which make a part of endosteum, vascular channels and bone marrow stroma.
