Q

Stem Cell Factor (1)

What does SCF bind to? (1)

Where is SCF produced? (1)

A
  • Haematopoietic cytokine

Q

BFU (2)

A
  • Burst forming units
  • highly proliferative
24
Q

CFU (2)

A
  • Colony forming units
  • limited proliferative capacity
25
What causes BFU-E to proliferate?
IL-3
26
What happens when IL-3 causes BFU-E to proliferate? (2)
- rises to multi-clustered colonies of erythroid progenitors (CFU-E) - which develop to become Erythrocytes (RBC)
27
Why can't CFU-E self-proliferate? When can they proliferate?
- because they only have Erythropoietin receptor - they can proliferate with Erythropoietin (EPO) binding to its EPO receptor
28
Stages of Erythrocyte development (6)
- Proerythroblast - Basophilic Erythroblast - Polychromatic Erythroblast - Orthochromatic Erythroblast - Reticulocyte - Erythrocyte
29
How are Erythrocytes removed from circulation? (2)
- Macrophages break them down - recycle Haemoglobin
30
What regulates Erythropoiesis? (2)
- Receptors in Kidney tubules - EPO
31
Hypoxia (1) Hypoxia contributing factors (5)
Low O2 - low atmospheric 02 - anaemia - Hb defect - reduced renal blood flow - compromised cardiopulmonary function
32
What does Kidney produce when Hypoxia is detected?
Erythropoietin (EPO)
33
What is Erythropoietin? (2)
- cytokine - stimulates RBC production (erythropoiesis) in bone marrow
34
How is EPO produced?
by endothelial cells of the peritubular capillaries in renal cortex
35
How is production of Erythropoietin regulated? (5)
- kidney releases EPO into bloodstream to reach bone marrow - hence increased Erythropoiesis - hence more Erythrocytes released into blood - hence increased O2 capacity - which inhibits further EPO production
36
Stages of Thrombopoiesis (4)
- Megakaryoblast - Pro Megakaryocyte - Megakaryocyte - Platelets
37
What regulates Thrombopoiesis? (2)
- liver and kidney produces - TPO
38
What is Thrombopoietin? (3)
- hormone - stimulates the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes - signals to increase production of platelets
39
How is production of Thrombopoietin regulated? (4)
- TPO produced in liver and kidney - TPO signals to increase platelet production - mature platelets bind to TPO in bloodstream - they then internalise TPO and degrade it
40
Anaemia
deficiency of Erythrocytes or Haemoglobin
41
Sign of Anaemia
Reticulocytes in peripheral circulation
42
Transferrin
transports iron through the blood to various tissues and bone marrow
43
What helps regulate differentiation of monocytes or granulocytes?
The balance of PU.1 and C/EBP-alpha
44
Monocytes and Granulocytes: What does CMP (common myeloid progenitor) differentiate into?
GMP (Granulocyte-macrophage progenitor)
45
PU.1
Transcription factor
46
1) GM-CSF 2) G-CSF 3) M-CSF 4) What do they bind to?
1) Granulocyte-monocyte Colony Stimulating Factor 2) Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor 3) Monocyte Colony Stimulating Factor 4) They're receptors on GMP (Granulocyte-macrophage progenitor)
47
What does C/EBP-alpha up regulate?
G-CSFR
48
Stages of differentiation of Granulocytes (5)
- Myeloblast - Pro-myelocyte - Myelocyte - N.Metamyelocyte - E.Metamyelocyte - B-Metamyelocyte - Neutrophil - Eosinophil - Basophil
49
What promotes differentiation from LT-HSC to ST-HSC?
SCF
50
What promotes differentiation from MPP to CLP?
IL-7 (MPP to CLP)
51
1) What promotes differentiation from Pro-B to B-cell? 2) What promotes differentiation from Pro-T to T-cell?
1) IL-6 (Pro-B to B-cell) 2) IL-2 (Pro-T to T-cell)
52
What promotes differentiation from MPP to CMP? (2)
- IL-3 - GM-CSF
53
1) What promotes differentiation from CMP to MEP? (2) 2) What promotes differentiation from MEP to Megakaryocyte? 3) What promotes differentiation from MEP to Erythrocyte?
1) IL-3 and GM-CSF 2) TPO 3) EPO
54
1) What promotes differentiation from GMP to Monocyte? 2) What promotes differentiation from GMP to Neutrophil? 3) What promotes differentiation from GMP to Eosinophil? 4) What promotes differentiation from GMP to Basophil?
1) M-CSF (monocyte) 2) G-CSF (neutrophil) 3) IL-3 and IL-5 (eosinophil) 4) IL-4 (basophil)
55
Leukaemia (2)
- malignant progressive disease - bone marrow produces increased number of immature or abnormal leukocytes
