Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells01:15

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

4.2K
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...

Cells Coordinate Growth and Proliferation

5.3K
Cell size is a significant factor impacting cellular design, function, and fitness. There exists some internal coordination by which cells double their masses before division, thus, achieving homeostasis. Coordination between cell growth and proliferation depends on the checkpoints in between cell cycle phases. Loss of coordination or failure in the checkpoint mechanism can drive the cell to uncontrolled growth and loss of cellular function. Like dividing cells that coordinate cellular growth,...

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells01:19

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

4.1K
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...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

4.3K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Skeletal biology
  • Cell biology

Background:

  • Synovial joints are composed of articular cartilage, capsule, and ligaments.
  • These tissues are traditionally thought to arise from early Gdf5-expressing progenitors in the interzone.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the cellular origins and developmental dynamics of synovial joint formation.
  • To challenge the established model of joint development and propose an alternative.
  • To understand the role of Gdf5-expressing cells in joint development.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Gdf5-CreER(T2) knockin mouse model for lineage tracing.
  • Employed multiple Cre activation steps to track cell contributions over time.
  • Analyzed spatiotemporal expression patterns of Gdf5 and tdTomato reporter.

Main Results:

  • Early labeling of Gdf5-positive cells did not label the entire joint organ.
  • Later Cre activation revealed ongoing contribution of these cells to joint compartments.
  • Spatiotemporal Gdf5 and tdTomato expression patterns support continuous cell recruitment.
  • Differential contribution of Gdf5-positive cells suggests lineage divergence is instructed by gene expression dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • Joints develop through a continuous influx of cells into the interzone, supporting the influx model.
  • The spatiotemporal dynamics of Gdf5 expression play a crucial role in lineage divergence.
  • This influx model may be applicable to other organogenesis processes.
