The Tumor Microenvironment02:17

The Tumor Microenvironment

7.9K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

4.1K
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...

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

7.6K
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

Disorders of Leukocytes01:27

Disorders of Leukocytes

2.0K
Leukocyte disorders can lead to either leukopenia, characterized by an abnormally low leukocyte count, or leukocytosis, marked by a very high leukocyte number.
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...

Summary

Leukemia stem cells hide in bone marrow niches, developing drug resistance. Targeting these leukemia stem cell niches could offer new treatments without harming normal stem cells.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Cancer Biology
  • Stem Cell Biology

Background:

  • Leukaemic cells interact dynamically with the bone marrow microenvironment.
  • Distinct osteoblastic and vascular niches within the bone marrow shelter leukaemic cells.
  • These niches contribute to chemotherapy resistance and leukaemogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the bone marrow microenvironment's role in supporting leukaemic cells.
  • To explore molecular pathways governing leukaemia-stroma interactions.
  • To discuss genetic abnormalities in leukaemia-associated stroma.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on bone marrow microenvironment and leukaemic cells.
  • Analysis of molecular pathways including cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, and hypoxia.
  • Discussion of genetic alterations in leukaemia-associated stromal cells.

Main Results:

  • Bone marrow niches (osteoblastic and vascular) provide sanctuaries for leukaemic stem cells.
  • Molecular interactions (cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, hypoxia) are critical for niche support.
  • Leukaemia-associated stromal cells can harbor genetic abnormalities.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding bone marrow niche contributions to leukaemogenesis is crucial.
  • Targeting leukaemia stem cell niches may offer novel therapeutic strategies.
  • Therapeutic strategies should aim to spare normal stem cell self-renewal.
