Hematopoiesis
|
formation of mature, functional RBCs, WBCs, platelets in peripheral blood and ultimately functional cells of lymphoid organs and reticuloendothelial system.
in adult - only in bone marrow |
|
erythrocye life span
|
120 days in peripheral circulation
2.5 X 10^9 erythrocytes per kg body weight produced per day |
|
platelet life span
|
7-10 days in peripheral circulation
2.5 X 10^9 platelets per kg body weight produced per day |
|
neutrophils
|
7 hours half-life in peripheral circulatoin
|
|
prenatal hematopoiesis
|
in yolk sac
primitive blood cells (red cells) finishes by 3rd month gestation |
|
where does hematopoiesis occur
|
yolk sac (3 months gestation)
live/spleen (2-7 month) bone marrow (at birth) |
|
hematopoiesis outside of the bone marrow after birth is called
|
extrmedullary hematopoiesisand is abnormal.
|
|
myeloid
|
pertaining to bone marrow
non-lymphoid, marrow derived blood cells |
|
lymphoid cells
|
t- cells, b-cells, NK cells
|
|
CFU
|
colony forming unit
functional term derived from expts e.g. CFU-E gave rise to colonies of cells with erythroid features |
|
differentiation
|
hematopoietic cell progressing from STEM CELL to FUNCTIONAL CELL
undergoes genetic changes --> commit cell to lineage (erythroid, granulocytic, lymphoid) |
|
maturation
|
accumulation of protein products
refinement of cellular strucutre dictated by pattern of gene expression in a cell committed to a particular lineage |
|
self-renewal
|
dividing stem cell can either commit to a differentiation OR SELF RENEW
self renewal = production of daughter cells ..identical to original cell |
|
CFU-LM
|
multipotential SC
gives rise to lymphoid AND myeloid elements CFU-LM can self renew or commit to becoming pluripotent SC |
|
CFU-GEMM
|
GEMM = granulocyte/erythoid/monocyte/megakaryocyte
pluripotent SC can self renew or commit to becoming progenitor cell |
|
progenitor cells
|
commited SC
limited self-renewal give rise to precursor cells e.g. CFU-GM, CFU-M, CFU-E |
|
CFU-GM, CFU-M and CFU-E are examples of
|
progenitor cells
irreversibly commited to lineage |
|
Precursor cells
|
cannot self renew
give rise to amture, functional cells in peripheral blood, lymphoid organs, and reticuloendothelial system |
|
what percentage of nucleated cell sin bone marrow are SC or progenitor cells
|
1%
|
|
bone marrow vasculature
|
nutrient arteries course into bone marrow --> cap-venous sinuses --> central vein --> systemic circulation
passage of blood cells through the capillary-venous sinus endothelial layer i selective. |
|
HIM
|
hematopoietic inductive environment
made up of stromal elements include endothelial cells of the capillary-venous sinuses reticular cells lining the adventitial surface of the capillary-venous sinuses fibroblases lymphocytes macrophages adipocytes ECM produced by stromal cells (collagen, laminin, fibronectin, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, heparin sulfate) |
|
hematopoitetic growth factors (glycoproteins or solony-stimulating factors CSF)
|
erythropoietin (Epo)
IL-3 (multi-CSF) granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) |
|
GM-CSF and IL-3
|
multilineage growth factors
act on many hematopoietic cells, including SC the other hematopoietic growth factos act on committed porgenitor cells |
|
HGF (hemato growth factors)
|
regulate proliferation and diff/mat of stem, progenitor and precursor cells
produced by T and B cells, macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells acts on specific cell surface receptors |
|
granulocyte maturation
|
myeloblast-->promyelocyte --> myelocyte --> metamyelocyte --> neutrophil
|
|
in granulocyte maturation, when is the ability to replicate lost
|
at the metamyelocyte stage
myeloblast-->promyelocyte --> myelocyte --> metamyelocyte --> neutrophil |
|
erythrocyte maturation
|
pronormoblast --> basophilic --> normoblast --> polychromatophilic normoblast --> orthochromatic normoblast --> reticulocyte --> erythrocyte
|
|
in erythrocyte maturation, when is the ability to replicate lost
|
at the orthochromatic normoblast stage
pronormoblast --> basophilic --> normoblast --> polychromatophilic normoblast --> orthochromatic normoblast --> reticulocyte --> erythrocyte |
|
megakaryocyte maturation and platelet production
|
megakaryoblast --> promegakaryocyte --> megakaryocyte --> platelet
|
|
monocyte/macrphage maturtaoin
|
monoblast --> promonocyte --> monocyte
|
|

|
more condensed chromatin.
