A sensitive in situ hybridization method with high resolution has been developed usin digoxigenin-II VTP labeled cRNA as a probe. The system was applied to a heterotopic induced bone with crude BMP. The localization of mRNA of the bone matrix proteins, osteopontin (OSP) and osteocalcin (OSC), was examined in the BMP-induced cartilage and bone in comparison with the endochondral ossification. In the heterotopic bone, OSP mRNA were detected in the osteoblast, young osteocyte and chondrocyte-like cells. In fatal endochondral ossification OSP mRNA was detected in the hypertrophic chondrocyte, osteoblast and young osteocyte, while OSC mRNA was detected in the osteoblast and young osteocyte, but hypertrophic chondrocyte was not detected. These results suggest that the chondrocyte-like cells in the BMP induced bone demonstrate the ambifunctions of the chondrocyte and osteoblast. Our results indicate that in situ hybridization immunohistochemistry is useful in identifying the cell phenotypes and their function.
