Harvey Chapter 3 Hematopoiesis (with Schalm's) AKG Flashcards
Primitive hematopoiesis - name the locations in where it occurs before it reaches the bone marrow and lymphoid organs.
- Starts in the yolk sac (outside of the body of embryo)
- Then moves within aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region of the embryo
- Shift to liver and spleen mid-gestation
- Then to bone marrow and lymphoid organs
The HSCs and associated endothelial cells (endothelium of yolk sac and dorsal aorta) are produced by common embryonic stem cells known as _____. These cells express what surface markers?
Hemangioblasts: VEGFR-2, CD34, CD133
Major hematopoietic organs in…
Bird:
Reptiles:
Amphibians:
Fish:
Bird: bone marrow
Reptiles: bone marrow +/- spleen
Amphibians: kidney, liver, spleen +/- bone marrow
Fish: kidney and/or spleen
The particular stromal cells that support the endothelium of the venous sinuses in the bone marrow are termed _______.
Adventitial stromal cells
A scanning electron micrograph of the cut surface of bone marrow showing a system of vascular sinuses originating at the periphery of the marrow (right side of field) and draining into a large vein (upper left corner). The large vein has several apertures in its wall, representing tributary venous sinuses. Hematopoietic tissue lies between the vascular sinuses.
A scanning electron micrograph from the extravascular space in rat bone marrow. Spherical hematopoietic cells are shown developing in close association with marrow stromal cells and their cytoplasmic processes.
Granulopoiesis occurs primarily on the surface of _______.
stromal cells
In addition to hematopoietic cells and developing blood cells, there are a number of accessory cells involved in regulating hematopoieis that reside within the extravascular space of mammalian bone marrow. What are these accessory cells?
Macrophages
NK cells
Mature lymphocytes
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) exhibit long-term self-renewal and differentiation. How often do they replicate?
Once every 8-10 weeks
______ are cells that form colonies in the bone marrow culture like HSCs, but do not have long-term self-renewal capacities.
Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs)
HSCs and HPCs cannot be distinguished from mature lymphocytes morphologically. What surface marker can be used to label HSCs and HPCs that would differentiat them from from lymphocytes?
CD34 - some HSCs lack CD34 though (possibly primitive non-active/quiescent HSCs are negative CD34, and CD34 may be used to assess degree of activation); CD34 is also present on nonhematopoietic stem cells and vascular endothelial cells.
Stem cell antigen 1 (SCA-1)
c-kit (c-kit = receptor for SCF)
CD133
Frequency of HSCs in marrow is < _____% in mice and < _____% in cats.
Are HPCs present in higher or lower concentrations?
< .01% in mice
<.0001% in cats
HPCs >>> HSCs (< 2% of all nucleated bone marrow cells in adult dogs are CD34+, but up to 18% of CD34+ cells have been reported in neonatal pups)
Which cells are more numerous in the marrow: HSCs or HPCs?
HPCs
WHen measured in an in vitro cell culture assay, HPCs are referred to as _____. HPCs that rapidly proliferate, retain their ability to migrate, and form multiple subcolonies around a larger central colony in culture are called _______.
Colony-forming units (CFUs)
Burst-forming units (BFUs)
In mammals, all blood cells are produced in the ____ space of the bone marrow. In birds however, only leukocytes are produced in the ______ space of the bone marrow. Erythrocytes and thrombocytes are produced within the ____ space of the marrow.
Mammals - extravascular space
Birds - leukocytes in extravascular space; erythrocytes and thrombocytes in the vascular space

- Forms a gradient to promote migration of HSCs/HPCs from blood to bone marrow. These cells express its receptor CXCR4.
- Promotes expression of CXCR4 and other adhesion molecules on the surface of HSCs/HPCs
- Induces transendothelial migration
CXCL12 = SDF-1 (stromal cell derived factor 1)
Homing of HSC HPCs to the marrow
Which molecules are:
- membrane-spanning, sugar-binding glycoproteins
- Bind to glycosylated ligands on HSCs/HPCs
- Promote loose, rolling-type adhesion b/w HSCs/HPCs and endothelial cells in blood
P- and E-selectin molecules
Homing of HSC/HPCs to the marrow
Which molecules:
- Are expressed on the surface of migrating cells
- Bind to counter receptors VCAM-1 on endothelial cells
- Are responsible for tight adhesion
Integrins –> α₄β₁-integrin (very late antigen-4, VLA-4)
