Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells01:19

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

3.1K
The hematopoietic stem cells or HSCs are multipotent, meaning they can differentiate and give rise to all blood and immune cells. HSCs are maintained in the quiescent stage until an external stimulus initiates their differentiation. The multipotent HSCs exist as two heterogeneous populations, long-term repopulating cells (LTRC) and short-term repopulating cells (STRC). The two HSC populations have different surface markers or receptors and are classified based on quiescence and long-term...

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells01:15

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

3.1K
Common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) are oligopotent cells that can differentiate into granulocytes and macrophages. Granulocytes and macrophages are essential for protecting the body against bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. They migrate from the bone marrow into the circulating blood to reach specific tissue sites where they differentiate and help in immune surveillance. However, they survive only for a few days and must be continuously made available to the organism to maintain a robust...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells01:01

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

3.4K
All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

7.2K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

1.8K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are crucial for lymphoid and erythroid development.
  • The role of bHLH factors in myeloid lineage development remains largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of the bHLH transcription factor Twist-2 in myeloid lineage development and function.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms by which Twist-2 regulates myeloid cell proliferation, differentiation, and cytokine production.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Twist-2-deficient mice to assess myeloid populations.
  • Mechanistic studies involving interactions between Twist-2, Runx1, and C/EBPalpha.
  • Investigation of Twist-2's effects on cytokine production (IL-12, IFNgamma, IL-10) and endotoxin tolerance.

Main Results:

  • Twist-2 deficiency leads to significant increases in mature macrophages, neutrophils, and basophils.
  • Twist-2 inhibits granulocyte macrophage progenitor (GMP) proliferation and differentiation by interacting with Runx1 and C/EBPalpha.
  • Twist-2 differentially regulates cytokine production, suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines while promoting IL-10 via c-Maf activation, and is essential for endotoxin tolerance.

Conclusions:

  • Twist-2 is a critical negative regulator of myeloid lineage development.
  • Twist-2 influences the function of mature myeloid cells, including their inflammatory responses and cytokine profiles.
  • Twist-2 plays a key role in maintaining immune homeostasis and regulating inflammatory responses through modulation of myeloid cell activity.
