Reverse Terms Flashcards
in between the koller’s sicker and area opaqa
posteior marginal zone
-Wnt binds to frizzled receptor which interacts with ROR -activates DTI (phosphoralation) interacts RoA & Rac -RoA activates kinase involved with cytoskeleton changes 9for cell moments) -cells told to remain/divide in same plane
Non-Canonical (B and C)
•Belongs to the category of non-canonical pathway. • Some Wnt molecules can activate DSH through the Frizzled receptors paired with ROR. • Through this DSH activates Rho-GTPase. • Rho-GTPase activates the kinases that phosphorylate the cytoskeletal proteins that alter cell shape and movements.
Planar Cell polarity (PCP) Wnt Signaling pathway
Building of 3D structure, generation of the form that we see.
Morphogenesis
Sorting of cells: Homotypic cell adhesions,
Cadherins
•Adherin junction (where one attaches to the other cad herein) basis on forming epithelium •ECM (extra cellar membrane) around cells •interns NB for cell-ECM interactions •TMP (trans membrane protein) with an alpha and beta subunit •2 signalling: outside-in, inside-out •when signalling received, alpha beta subsets are rendered apart. Heads no longer bent but straight •70 armstrong (70ºA) •inactive intern is close •
Integrins
is Important in organogenesis as well as cancer biology. • Cancer initiates as a epithelial cancer … later metastasize to different locations • Epithelial sheet forms a water-proof covering, bend-sheet forms tube, etc. • Epithelial cells are attached to each other through adheren junctions and the the basal lamina through integrins
Epithilial-Mesenchyme Transition (EMT)
Limb bud-tip formation
Apical Ectodermal Ridge (AER)
All three zones that differentiate as cells leave the progress zone. As limb bud grows, the cell fate is established.
Theory of posterior distal axis formaition: Progressing zone model.
All regions are pre-established. As time progresses, limb bud grows and regions (refer to pic) expand. Early stage small, late sage large in size.
Thoeyr Early allocation and progenitor expansion model
elimination of certain chromosomes from cells that form somatic tissues
chromosomal diminution
number of fates cells can take
potency
cells that can form every cell of embryo (3 layers, etc) and cells of placenta
totipotent
cells that can form cell of all 3 germ layers but not placenta
pluripotent
cells derived from embryo or adult committed to form small component of cells (hematopotent stem cells = present in bone marrow and capable of forming all blood cells)
multipotent
cells that can take up only one or two fates
uni/bi potent
micro environment in which these stem cells can exist
Stem Cell Niche
cells can keep making more cells or go on to commit to differentiation
Single Cell Asymmetry
in order to keep up the population, some cells are more prone to make more and some are more prone to commitment
Population Asymmetry
-T helper cells are Cd4 (markers on them) -T cytotoxic cells CD8 markers on them -stem cells have specific surface markers -cell foes through resivor one at a time. Excited by laser and florescent light detected by photomultiplier tube -certain changes (that’s related to surface markers) and separated into fractions
Fluorescence activated Cell sorting (FACS)
•UV a mouse to destroy it’s BM cells •if left alone it’ll die •inject with normal BM cells •it survives •isolate the hematopoietic stem cells
Repopulation Assay:
-inducers are ligands -can figure out potency of cell population (number of fates cell can take up) -induce cells and wait to see what fates they take.
In Vitro Induction Assays using Stem Cells
•EScells can be differentiated in somatic cells then reprogrammed to
__________ by TF such as Sox2 and Oct4 •Regenerative Medicine: Disease treatment Organ repair
induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell
•multipotent stem cell undergoes differentiation into an number of things it could be, or unipotent stem cell becomes differentiated into the specific one thing •specific replacement of lost tissues •Ex: blood cells (haematopoiesis); digestive tract epithelium; hair shafts; planarian flatworms
Stem cell mediated regeneration
