Hematopoiesis I Flashcards
Bone Marrow Produces
Red Blood Cells White Blood Cells Platelets
Hematopoietic Stem Cell HSC
can differentiate and form blood and immune cells HSC can renew itself HSC can mobilize out of the bone marrow into circulating blood HSC can restore long term hematopoietic function
HSC blood cells
Red Blood Cells WBC Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, basophils Platelets
HSC Immune Cells
Mast Cells, Dendritic Cells, Osteoclasts
Total Nucleated cells that are HSC?
<0.01%
Markers on HSC
CD34, c-kit, c-MPL, MDR-1, THY 1+
Sources of HSC
Bone Marrow Peripheral Blood Umbilical Cord
History of Hematopoiesis
Begin in yolk sac in embryo/ fetus Transfer production to liver during 5th week of fetal development Bone marrow is main site of hematopoiesis from mid-fetal development to life.
How many times can a HSC divide? How many progenitor cells does a HSC produce? What is HSC cell division an example of?
1 HSC can divide up to 18 times producing roughly 10,000 progenitor cells. HSC cell division is asymmetric cell division.
Stromal Cells
Stromal Cells produce matrix Stromal cells regulate stem cells via proteins and glycoproteins that tell how HSC should divide Stromal Cells provide “soil” for HSC to grow
Progenitor Cells of HSC
Common Myeloid Progenitor Common Lymphoid Progenitor
Myeloid Lineage
Are mature neutrophils more closely related to RBCs or Lymphocytes
RBCs via myeloid lineage
Lymphoid Lineage
Progenitor Cell
Lineage Commitment
Cannot Self Renew
