TAILIEUCHUNG - Chapter 068. Hematopoietic Stem Cells (Part 3)

Excess Capacity of Hematopoietic Stem Cells In the absence of disease, one never runs out of hematopoietic stem cells. Indeed, serial transplantation studies in mice suggest that sufficient stem cells are present to reconstitute several animals in succession, with each animal having normal blood cell production. The fact that allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients also never run out of blood cells in their life span, which can extend for decades, argues that even the limiting numbers of stem cells provided to them are sufficient. How stem cells respond to different conditions to increase or decrease their mature cell production remains. | Chapter 068. Hematopoietic Stem Cells Part 3 Excess Capacity of Hematopoietic Stem Cells In the absence of disease one never runs out of hematopoietic stem cells. Indeed serial transplantation studies in mice suggest that sufficient stem cells are present to reconstitute several animals in succession with each animal having normal blood cell production. The fact that allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients also never run out of blood cells in their life span which can extend for decades argues that even the limiting numbers of stem cells provided to them are sufficient. How stem cells respond to different conditions to increase or decrease their mature cell production remains poorly understood. Clearly negative feedback mechanisms affect the level of production of most of the cells leading to the normal tightly regulated blood cell counts. However many of the regulatory mechanisms that govern production of more mature progenitor cells do not apply or apply differently to stem cells. Similarly most of the molecules shown to be able to change the size of the stem cell pool have little effect on more mature blood cells. For example the growth factor erythropoietin which stimulates red blood cell production from more mature precursor cells has no effect on stem cells. Similarly granulocyte colony-stimulating factor drives the rapid proliferation of granulocyte precursors but does not affect cell cycling of stem cells. Rather it changes the location of stem cells by indirect means altering molecules such as CXCL12 that tether stem cells to their niche. Molecules shown to be important for altering the proliferation of stem cells such as the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21Cip1 have little or no effect on progenitor proliferation. Hematopoietic stem cells have governing mechanisms that are distinct from the cells they generate. Hematopoietic Stem Cell Differentiation Hematopoietic stem cells sit at the base of a branching hierarchy of cells culminating in the many
