Cranial neural crest cells give rise to ectomesenchymal derivatives such as cranial bones, cartilage, smooth muscle, dentin, as well as melanocytes, corneal endothelial cells, and neurons and glial cells of the peripheral nervous system. Previous studies have suggested that although multipotent stem-like cells may e x ist during the course of cranial neural crest development, they are transient, undergoing lineage restriction early in embryonic development. Whole-genome e x pression profiling of O9-1 cells revealed that this line stably e x presses stem cell markers (CD44, Sca-1, and Bmi1) and neural crest markers (AP-2a, Twist1, So x 9, Myc, Ets1, Dl x 1, Dl x 2, Crabp1, Epha2, and Itgb1). O9-1 cells are capable of contributing to cranial mesenchymal (osteoblast and smooth muscle) neural crest fates when injected into E13.5 mouse cranial tissue e x plants and chicken embryos. These results suggest that O9-1 cells represent multipotent mesenchymal cranial neural crest cells. The O9-1 cell line should serve as a useful tool for investigating the molecular properties of differentiating cranial neural crest cells. The O9-1 cell line can be propagated and passaged for at least 10 passages, and can differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, smooth muscle cells, and glial cells (Ishii, 2012). Ishii, M., et al.
