Hematopoiesis Process and Cytokines Flashcards
What is the main site of erythropoietin production?
- Kidney
What is punctate basophilia?
What cells might we see this in?
- observing a blood smear in which erythrocytes display small dots at the periphery
- reticulocytes
What are Howell–Jolly bodies?
- histopathological findings of basophilic nuclear remnants (clusters of DNA) in circulating erythrocytes. During maturation in the bone marrow late erythroblasts normally expel their nuclei, but in some cases a small portion of DNA remains
What hormone stimulates erythropoiesis in the bone marrow?
- erythropoietin; made in the kidneys, acts on the bone marrow
What class of a hematopoietic cell is committed to becoming an erythrocyte?
- BFU-E
What two types of cells can a pleuripotent hematopoietic stem cell differentiate into?
- Common myeloid progenitor
- Common lymphoid progenitor
What are the four cells that a common myeloid progenitor can differentiate into?
- Granulocyte-Monocyte progenitor
- Eosinophil-basophil progenitor
- Megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor
- Mast Cell
What are the four cells that a common lymphoid progenitor can differentiate into?
- Dendritic
- Pre-B
- Pre-T
- Natural Killer
What are the final steps for the Granulocyte-Monocyte progenitor to get to a mature cell, and what are the two types of cells it can mature into?
~ Granulocyte-Monocyte progenitor + G-CSF -> myeloblast -> Neutrophil
~ Granulocyte-Monocyte progenitor + M-CSF -> Monocyte -> Macrophage
What are the final steps for the Megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor to get to a mature cell, and what are the two types of cells it can mature into?
~ Megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor + EPO -> pronormoblast -> Erythrocyte
~ Megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor + TPO -> Megakaryoblast -> Megakaryocyte -> Platelets
What is the intermittent cell between the Eosinophil-basophil progenitor and the final mature cells?
- Myeloblast
What do Pre-T and Pre-B cells eventually become? What steps (cell types) do they take to get there?
~ Pre-T -> T lymphoblast -> T cell
~ Pre-B -> B lymphoblast -> B cell -> Plasma cell

- CFU-pre-T
- CFU-pre-B
- myeloid to basophil
- myeloid to eosinophil
- myeloid to neutrophil
- T lymphocyte

What decides the path of HSC:
What is the Multilineage priming model?
- signals from the hematopoietic inductive microenvironment
What decides the path of HSC:
What do cytokines regulate and where do they come from?
What cytokines are involved?
- cytokines released from the hematopoietic inductive microenvironment regulate proliferation and differentiation
- KIT ligand, thrombopoietin (TPO), and FLT3 ligand
What decides the path of HSC:
What genes control intrinsic regulation?
- genes such as TAL1 and GATA2
