Stem Cell Niche01:26

Stem Cell Niche

6.3K
The stem cell niche is the dynamic microenvironment where stem cells reside. Inside these niches, the cells may remain undifferentiated, undergo high self-renewal, or become lineage-specific progenitors. Stem cells coexist with other niche cells, such as stromal cells. They also interact closely with the ECM. Cell-cell and cell-matrix communication occur via adhesion molecules or soluble factors that signal the stem cells and determine their fate. Stromal cells also provide survival signals to...

Ecological Niches

26.1K
All organisms have a position within an ecosystem. The complete set of living and nonliving factors—including food resources, climate, and terrain—that define the position of a given organism are collectively referred to as the organism’s ecological niche.

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

4.2K
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...

The Cell Cycle Control System01:28

The Cell Cycle Control System

5.5K
The cell cycle regulation directs how a cell proceeds from one phase to the next and begins mitosis. The cell cycle control system includes intracellular regulatory molecules and external triggers. They provide "stop" or "advance" signals and operate at specific cell cycle stages termed checkpoints to ensure that a particular process is completed before the cell advances to the next phase.
Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are the primary cell cycle regulators and...

The Cell Cycle Control System02:11

The Cell Cycle Control System

14.1K
The cell cycle is an organized set of events that leads the cell to divide into two daughter cells, each containing chromosomes identical to the parent cell. It is the cell cycle that leads to the formation of an entire organism from a single-cell zygote. Besides, cell division also functions in the renewal or repair of tissues in adult multicellular eukaryotes. For example, in the bone marrow, the stem cells divide to form new blood cells. Although essential for several functions, cell...

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation01:10

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation

6.6K
The development of all multicellular organisms starts with the fusion of haploid cells called sperm and egg to form a diploid zygote. A zygote is a totipotent cell that can develop into a complete organism. The zygote undergoes cell division or cleavage to form an 8-cell mass. Until this stage, the cells are spherical, loosely attached, and remain totipotent. Totipotent cells are capable of developing both the embryonic and the extraembryonic tissues. However, as they continue to divide, they...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Hematopoiesis

Background:

  • Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitor cells reside in specialized niches.
  • These niches are primarily composed of mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) and endothelial cells.
  • Niche cells produce cytokines like IL-7 and stem cell factor, and chemokines like CXCL12, to regulate hematopoiesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the cellular organization of hematopoietic and lymphoid niches.
  • To discuss the cross-talk between hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and niche cells.
  • To present a novel model of B cell development centered on cellular circuits within lymphopoietic niches.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing studies on hematopoietic stem cell niches and B cell development.
  • Analysis of cellular interactions between progenitor cells and niche components.
  • Discussion of cytokine and chemokine signaling in niche regulation.

Main Results:

  • Overlapping niches exist for HSCs, multipotent progenitors, common lymphoid progenitors, and early B cell progenitors.
  • Niche cells regulate hematopoietic progenitor production through cytokine and chemokine signaling.
  • Preleukemic B cells and preB acute lymphoblastic leukemias can interact with MPCs, downregulating IL-7 and affecting non-leukemic lymphoid cell production.

Conclusions:

  • A novel model of B cell development emphasizes cellular circuits between B cell progenitors and lymphopoietic niches.
  • Understanding these cellular circuits is crucial for comprehending normal and aberrant B cell development.
  • The interaction between malignant progenitors and the niche highlights potential therapeutic targets.
