Term

Stem cells - definition

1) cell stage
2) two types
3) what can they do?

Definition
non-proliferating (G0 stage) epithelial or mesenchymal cells that can be induced to undergo constituative proliferation in response to developmental or injury/repair signals
Term
What are the progeny of stem cells called?

Two options for them
Definition
1) daughter

2) either exact copies of themeselves (self-renewal) or fated to begin differentiation into more lineage restricted progenitors.
Term
Pluripotent
Definition
- most immature stem cells that allows them to give rise to all the somatic cell types of the organism.
Term
Totipotent
Definition
- stem cells that are embryonic and can recreate entire embryo
Term

Multipotent

 

- what are they more restricted than?

- what are they able to give rise to

Definition

- more restricted stem cell than pluripotent

 

- have the potential to give rise to al cell types of the tissue or organ

Term

Progenitor

- what is it the descendent of

- what is it able to do?

- example

Definition

- descendent of multipotent stem cell

 

- even more lineage potential compared to its parent

 

- can give rise to more than one type of white blood cell

Term

Precursor

 

Definition

- irreversitlbe acquisition of cellular traits characteristic of a single linearge

 

Term
Differentiation (definition)

Two things it depends on
Definition

- Acquisition of genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of mature tissue specific cell types

 

1)  growth factors
2) extracellular matrix interactions

Term
Three possibilities for stem cells in blood islands of an embryo's yolk sac at 2-weeks of development
Definition
1) hematopoietic - blood making
2) angiogenic - sprouting of pre-exisiting blood vessels
3) vasculogenic - blood vessel making

Term

Adult bone marrow cells

-type

 

- percentage of all bone marrow cells

Definition

- CD34+ (VEGF receptor 2+) cells

 

- represent .01-.03% of all bone marrow cells

Term
CD34+ : bone marrow cells

- what two combinations act on them and what doe these become
Definition
1) VEGF: makes them endothelial cells

2) IL 1, IL 3, IL 6 and SCF (stem cell factor): makes them CD34+VEGF2- pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells PHSC
Term
PHSC - two options
Definition
1) further stimulation with IL 1, IL 3, IL 6 and SCF makes them erythroid/myeloid multipotent cells:
Colony forming cell granulocytic erythroid megakaryocytic monocytic; CFC GEMM

2) if PHSC are incubated with IL-7, they become lymphoid colongy formcing cells: colony forming cell-lymphoid (CFC-LY)
Term
Things CFC GEMM cells can turn into and factor that causes it
Definition
1) Erythropoietin -> erythrocyte
2) Thrmobopoietin -> platelet
3) IL 4 -> Basophil
4) IL-5 -> Eosinophil
5) GM-CSF (Granulocyte-monocyte stimulating factor) -> CFC - neutrophil monocyte (three fates)
Term

CFC-GEMM's acted on by GM-CSF

Three fates of cells acted on by GM-CSF and what causes

Definition

CFC-NM- CFC neutrophil monocyte


1) G-CSF -> neutrophil
2) M-CSF -> Monocyte
3) IL-4, FLt3-ligand -> CFC dendritic cell (first langerhan's cell)

Term

What are PHSC cells incubated with IL 7?

What three factors can affect them and what do they become?

 

Definition

CFC-LY

1) IL 7, 2, 6 -> CFC-T/NK -> T-cell
1) IL 7, 2, 12 -> CFC T/NK -> Natural killer cell
3) IL 7, SCF -> CFC B -> B cell

 

Term
What three factors help an activated B cell mature into a plasma cell?
Definition
IL 4, 5, 6
Term
Seven things in bone marrow
Definition

1) red marrow: developing blood cells and macrophages

2) Yellow marrow: fat cells
3) Stromal cells
4) Type III collagin
5) Sinusoids
6) Megakaryocytes
7) Osteoclasts

Term
Locations of hematopoiesis
Definition
blood islands in yolk sac (2 weeks) -> liver (6 weeks) -> spleen (14-15 weeks) -> bone marrow (6 months)
Term
Lineage of red blood cell

Which are progenitor cells?
Which are precursor?
Which are mature?
Definition
CFC-GEMM-> CFC erythroid -> proerythroblast -> bosophilic erythrocyte -> Polychromatophilc erythrocyte -> Orthochromatophilic erythrocyte -> Reticulocyte -> Erythrocyte

Progenitor: CFC erythroid
Precursor cell: proerythroblast, basophilic erythrocyte, polychromatophic, orthochromatophilc reticulocyte
Mature cell: erythrocyte
Term
How long does formation of red blood cell take?
Definition
about 1 week
Term
Lineage for eosinophil, basophil and neutrophil

Which are progenitors?
Which are precursors
Which are mature?
Definition
CFC GEMM -> CFC - (baso, eosin, neutro) -> Myeloblast -> promyelocyte -> Myelocyte -> Metamyelocyte ->Stab
- Mature baso, eosin or neutrophil

progenitor cells: CFC-basophil, CFC-eosinophil, CFC-neutrophil
precursor cells: Myeloblast, promyeloctye, myelcyte, metamyelocyte, stab
mature cells: basophil, eosinophil, neutrophil
