Tissue Regeneration, Renewal and Repair Flashcards
Transdifferentiation
Change in the differentiation of a cell from one type to another
Retina cell can go fix corneal cell (same line)
Can be seen in chickens
Developmental Plasticity
Capacity of a cell to transdifferentiate into diverse lineages
Heart cell can become corneal cell (different line)
Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Generate all of the blood cell lineages
Reconstitute the bone marrow after depletion
Caused by disease or irradiation
Bone Marrow
Bone Marrow
Umbilical cord blood
Peripheral blood of individuals receiving cytokines
Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, mobilizes HSCs
Marrow Stromal Cells
Multipotent
Potentially important therapeutic applications
Generate chondrocytes, osteoblasts, adipocytes, myoblasts and endothelial cell precursors
Migrate to injured to tissues
Generate stromal cells or other cell lineage
No normal tissue homeostasis
Canals of Hering
Location of liver progenitor cells
Between biliary ductular system and parenchymal hepatocytes
Precursor cells
Oval Cells
Bipotential progenitors
Capable of differentiating into hepatocytes and biliary cells
Activate when hepatocyte proliferation is blocked
Fulminant hepatic failure
Liver tumorigensis
Chronic hepatitis and advanced liver cirrhosis
NSC’s
Brain of adult rodents and humans
Neural precursor cells
Generating neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes
SVZ and dentate gyrus located
Regeneration
Complete restitution of lost or damaged tissue.
Liver (compensatory growth)
Skin and GI tract renew
Repair
Replacement of original structures with structural derangement scar or fibrosis
Fibrosis
Extensive deposition of collagen
ECM
Componenets for would healing
Framework for cell migration
Maintains cell polarity for re-assembly of mutlilayer structures
Angiogensis
Fibroblasts, macrophages, others produce growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, etc
Granulation tissue
characteristic of healing
Soft pink appearences
Fibroblast proliferation and new thin walled, delicate capillaries
Dense fibrosis
Continuous dividing
Proliferate constantly
Surface epi: st. sqaumous epi skin, oral, vagina, cervix
Mucousa lining
Columnar GI tract/Uterus
Quiescent
Low replication Rapid division in response to stimulus Reconstituting tissue of organ Parenchymal Mesenchymal cells Lymphocytes and other leukocytes Ability of liver to regenerate Fibroblasts, endothelial cells, etc
Nondividing
Neurons, skeletal muscle cells, cardiac muscle cells
Glial cells can support damage
Muscle cells won’t divide, do have regenerative capacity
Cardiac muscle-limited ability to regenerate
2 Mechanisms Maintain Stem Cells
Obligatory asymmetric replication
Sochastic differentiation
Obligatory asymmetric replication
cell division produces one daughter cell with self-renewing capacity and others enter pathway
