Q

Bone marrow

A

1.7 L of marrow contains 10^12 hematopoietic cells

Q

Stem cell niches

A

Maintain stem cells in a quiescent state

After tissue injury, the surrounding micro-enviro actively signals to stem cells to self-renew or differentiate

Q

Hematopoietic cytokines

A

Control proliferative and maturational phases of hematopoiesis
AKA hematopoietic growth factors

21
Q

3 major groups of hematopoietic growth factors

A

Colony-stimulating factors
Erythropoietin and thrombopoietin
Cytokines (primarily interleukins)

22
Q

Erythropoiesis lineage sequence

A
Proerythroblast
Basophilic erythroblast
Polychromatophilic erythroblast
Orthochromatic erythroblast
Reticulocyte
Erythrocyte
23
Q

What cell type in erythroid lineage does EPO work on?

A

Proerythroblast

24
Q

EPO

A

Major regulator of erythropoiesis
In response to hypoxia, stimulates the proliferation of erythroid progenitor cells by decreasing the levels of cell cycle inhibitors and increasing cyclins

25
Q

One of the easiest ways and most reliable signs of erythrocyte production?

A

Increase in circulating reticulocytes

26
Q

Leukopoiesis

A

Granulocyte lineage

Granulocytes-macrophage precursor

27
Q

Granulocytes

A

Mitotic ability lost near end of development

Timing can be accelerated in presence of infection or with treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor

28
Q

Myeloblasts

A

Undifferentiated cells lacking cytoplasmic granules

29
Q

Promyelocytes and myelocytes

A

Primary granules in cells of neutro, eosin and baso

30
Q

Secondary granules appear in

A

Myelocytes

31
Q

Primary granules do not transform into

A

Specific granules

32
Q

Eosinophilic granules

A

Contain eosinophil peroxidase

33
Q

34
Q

Kallikrein

A

Granule in basophil

-attracts eosinophils

35
Q

Band cell

A

A granulocytic cell that has a nucleus that hasn’t segmented into lobes

36
Q

Lymphocyte maturation

A

Lymphoblasts –> prolymphocytes –> lymphocytes

37
Q

Monocytes

A

G-CSF makes it go to myeloblast pathway

GM-CSF guides to monocyte

38
Q

Monocytes maturation

A

In bone marrow
Monoblasts –> promonocytes –> monocytes
Enter circulation and then enter CT to become macrophages

39
Q

Macrophages

A

Differentiate in tissues

40
Q

G-CSF

A

aka filgrastim
Dose-dependent increase of neutrophils in blood
Used for treatment of neutropenia - after CA or BM transplant
GM-CSF - same thing, less potent

41
