Embryonic and adult-derived Osx+ cells are present in primary tumors at extra-skeletal sites.

(A) Doxycycline (doxy)-repressible Sp7-cre/loxP mouse model used to activate Ai9/TdTomato expression for lineage tracing experiments. In no doxy-fed mice, TdT is expressed in embryonic-derived osteolineage cells (left), while in mice fed a doxy diet until weaning, TdT is expressed in adult-derived osteolineage cells. (B–I) Flow cytometry analysis and fluorescence images of primary tumors showing presence of TdTOSX+ cells in no-doxy fed Osx-cre;TdT mice or WT;TdT controls inoculated with B16-F10 melanoma subcutaneously (B–C), or with PyMT breast cancer cells in the mammary fat pad (MFP) (D–E), and in doxy-fed mice injected with B16-F10 subcutaneously (F–G), or with PyMT in the MFP (H–I). Slides for fluorescence images were counterstained with DAPI (blue), magnification 200X. Inserts are further magnified 4.5 folds. Data representative of a single experiment, experiments were repeated between 2 and 5 times. p values represent Student t-test statistical analysis.
