Scx+/Sox9+ progenitors contribute to the establishment of the junction between cartilage and tendon/ligament
Abstract
SRY-box containing gene 9 (Sox9) and scleraxis (Scx) regulate cartilage and tendon formation, respectively. Here we report that murine Scx+/Sox9+ progenitors differentiate into chondrocytes and tenocytes/ligamentocytes to form the junction between cartilage and tendon/ligament. Sox9 lineage tracing in the Scx+ domain revealed that Scx+ progenitors can be subdivided into two distinct populations with regard to their Sox9 expression history: Scx+/Sox9+ and Scx+/Sox9− progenitors. Tenocytes are derived from Scx+/Sox9+ and Scx+/Sox9− progenitors. The closer the tendon is to the cartilaginous primordium, the more tenocytes arise from Scx+/Sox9+ progenitors. Ligamentocytes as well as the annulus fibrosus cells of the intervertebral discs are descendants of Scx+/Sox9+ progenitors. Conditional inactivation of Sox9 in Scx+/Sox9+ cells causes defective formation in the attachment sites of tendons/ligaments into the cartilage, and in the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral discs. Thus, the Scx+/Sox9+ progenitor pool is a unique multipotent cell population that gives rise to tenocytes, ligamentocytes and chondrocytes for the establishment of the chondro-tendinous/ligamentous junction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
