Introduction 1 Methods to Study Hematopoiesis 2 Hematopoietic Stem Cell Markers 2 Hematopoiesis During Development 2 Hematopoietic Stem Cell Niche 3 Hematopoietic Stem Cell Plasticity 3 References 4 Introduction Hematopoiesis is the process by which the entire repertoire of blood cell lineages is generated from hematopoietic stem cells (Figure 1). The term hematopoiesis is all-encompassing and includes erythropoiesis, leukopoiesis, and thrombopoiesis, all of which are involved in the production of erythrocytes (red blood cells). In addition, leukopoiesis includes lymphopoiesis, which relates to the generation of lymphocytes and granulocyte-macrophage lineages of myelopoiesis (myelos is Greek for marrow). Adult blood cells types can be separated by sedimentation or by centrifugation of blood samples. On examination of the sample, a red cell layer that is composed of hemoglobin-containing erythrocytes (erthrosis Greek for red) comprises 45% of the total blood volume. Erythrocytes facilitate the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and tissues. On top of the red cell layer is a thin, white, buffy coat that contains white blood cells or leukocytes (leukos is Greek for white). Leukocytes, which occupy 1% of the blood volume, are composed of granulocytes (leukocytes with granules), monocytes, and lymphocytes. Different types of granulocytes are distinguished using acidic or basic dyes. Whereas eosinophils stain readily with eosin, an acidic dye, basophils stain readily with basic dyes, and neutrophils lack affinity for either acidic or basic dyes. Sixty percent of the leukocytes are neutrophils. Together, leukocytes function as components of the immune system. Examination of a blood clot reveals aggregates of thrombocytes or platelets. Platelets, like adult erythrocytes, do not have a nucleus. Their function is to adhere and aggregate at the site of an injury to form the primary hemostatic plug to prevent further blood loss. Figure 1 Major differentiation pathways of hematopoiesis. Mature blood cells differentiate from pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells. The differentiation of mature blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells represents a continuous process that involves discrete changes triggered by the surrounding microenvironment and cumulative signals from soluble glycoprotein factors. The signals that stimulate mature blood cell production and signals that act to prevent the overproduction of blood cells are carefully balanced to supply the quantity of blood cells necessary for life. Not all of the regulatory processes are fully understood. Early progenitor cells, such as the colony-forming-unit granulocyte, erythrocyte, macrophage, megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM), are able to differentiate into multiple lineages but are unable to reconstitute the entire hematopoietic system when transplanted into an irradiated host. ☆ Change History: December 2014.

Differentiated blood cells and precursors have a defined morphological appearance and can be distin- guished readily from each other by direct observation. Precursor cells have limited proliferation potential and differentiate into mature blood cells with finite life spans. The progenitor cell compartment is composed of cells committed to develop into one or more blood lineages. Multilineage progenitor cells are presumed to be more primitive than progenitor cells committed to a single lineage. Cells in this compartment display greater plasticity and proliferative potential as compared to the precursor cell compartment. Progenitor cells are not morphologically distinguishable by microscopic examination. Surface markers and functional assays are used to distinguish progenitor cells from each other. To examine cell-surface markers, multiple monoclonal antibodies that recognize a common cell-surface antigen are joined together to form clusters of differentiation (CD). The clusters are numbered sequentially with respect to when they were discovered and defined. The cell-surface reactivity of monoclonal antibodies to each CD antigen is detected by flow cytometry. The presence and abundance of cell-surface antigens are a distinguishing characteristic of the different progenitor populations and other cells that comprise the hematopoietic system. Selected CD antigens are used as lineage-specific markers. Common cell-surface markers include CD34 for stem cells, Mac-1 for macrophages, Gr-1 for granulocytes, ter-119 for reticulocytes, À CD3 and CD8 for T-cells, and B220 for B-lymphocytes. Stem cells are lineage marker negative (Lin ) because they do not express surface markers used to identify mature blood cells. The colony-forming assay is an in vitro functional assay used to define the process of hematopoiesis. Cells to be tested are harvested and resuspended in methylcellulose or agarose with culture media and growth factors. Over the next few days, responding cells proliferate and differentiate to form discrete colonies. Larger colonies contain highly proliferative cells with multilineage potential. Smaller colonies with lower proliferative potential give rise to mature blood cells within a shorter period of time. Highly proliferative progenitors are also detected in blast-forming assays, a variant of the colony-forming assay. In the blast- forming assay, primary colonies are replated and analyzed for their ability to form secondary colonies. A colony-forming assay capable of definitively identifying hematopoietic stem cells has yet to be developed. The standard for the presence of hematopoietic stem cells is the ability of the cells to regenerate the entire hematopoietic system when transplanted into an irradiated host. Hematopoietic stem cells, which can be concentrated by selecting for cells that express the CD34 cell-surface antigen, are rare cells that can self-renew and differentiate into highly proliferative progenitor cells of all blood lineages. A second side population of CD34 negative hematopoietic stem cells has been identified that may represent an earlier stage in stem cell maturation Goodell et al (1997). In addition to hematopoietic stem cells, the bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells that are able to differentiate into bone, muscle, cartilage, and fat, but not blood cells. Hematopoietic Stem Cell Markers Since hematopoietic stem cells are an extremely rare population in the marrow (approximately 1/10000 bone marrow cells), the identification of hematopoietic stem cells in the marrow is still challenging. Historically, the functional assays, including in vitro colony-forming assay and in vivo serial dilution transplantation assay, are used to determine stem cell activity. It has been recently shown that the combination of several cell-surface markers can be used to identify hematopoietic stem cells. For human stem cells, CD34+CD38-CD90+CD45R-Lin- cells (Stem cell frequency 1/10 cells) are defined as hematopoietic stem cells Majeti et al, 2007. For mouse, CD150+CD244-CD48-Sca-1+c-Kit+Lin- cells (Stem cell frequency 1/2 cells) are used to identify hematopoi- etic stem cells Kiel et al, 2005. Hematopoiesis During Development The early stages of mammalian hematopoiesis, which begins in the blood islands of the yolk sac, may be divided into two developmental processes (Figure 2). In mice, primitive hematopoiesis begins at embryonic day 7 and is sustained for a relatively short period of time. A common precursor, the hemangioblast, gives rise to both endothelial cells and the primitive hematopoietic cells of the early circulatory system. Primitive hematopoiesis is characterized by the production of large nucleated erythrocytes that express embryonic globins. There are a several primitive monocytes/macrophages and megakaryocytes that are also produced. The switch from primitive hematopoiesis to definitive hematopoiesis coincides with the switch of the principal site of hematopoiesis from the yolk sac to the fetal liver. This switch occurs between embryonic days 10 and 11 in the mouse. Definitive hematopoiesis is distinguished from primitive hematopoiesis by the presence of enucleated adult-type erythrocytes that produce fetal globin in humans and adult globin in the mouse. Long-term repopulating stem cells (LTRSC) capable of reconstituting the

  • Cell Dose on Engraftment After Scts: Personalized Estimates Based on Mathematical Modeling
    Bone Marrow Transplantation (2014) 49, 30–37 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0268-3369/14 www.nature.com/bmt ORIGINAL ARTICLE The impact of CD34 þ cell dose on engraftment after SCTs: personalized estimates based on mathematical modeling T Stiehl1,ADHo2 and A Marciniak-Czochra1,3 It is known that the number of transplanted cells has a significant impact on the outcome after SCT. We identify issues that cannot be addressed by conventional analysis of clinical trials and ask whether it is possible to develop a refined analysis to conclude about the outcome of individual patients given clinical trial results. To accomplish this, we propose an interdisciplinary approach based on mathematical modeling. We devise and calibrate a mathematical model of short-term reconstitution and simulate treatment of large patient groups with random interindividual variation. Relating model simulations to clinical data allows quantifying the effect of transplant size on reconstitution time in the terms of patient populations and individual patients. The model confirms the existence of lower bounds on cell dose necessary for secure and efficient reconstitution but suggests that for some patient subpopulations higher thresholds might be appropriate. Simulations demonstrate that relative time gain because of increased cell dose is an ‘interpersonally stable’ parameter, in other words that slowly engrafting patients profit more from transplant enlargements than average cases. We propose a simple mathematical formula to approximate the effect of changes of transplant size on reconstitution time.

  • White Blood Cells)
    Lec.4 Medical Physiology – Blood Physiology Z.H.Kamil Leukocytes (White Blood Cells) Leukocytes are the only formed elements that are complete cells, with nuclei and the usual organelles. Accounting for less than 1% of total blood volume, leukocytes are far less numerous than red blood cells. On average, there are 4800–10,800 WBCs/μl of blood. Leukocytes are crucial to our defense against disease. They form a mobile army that helps protect the body from damage by bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins, and tumor cells. As such, they have special functional characteristics. Red blood cells are kept into the bloodstream, and they carry out their functions in the blood. But white blood cells are able to slip out of the capillary blood vessels in a process called diapedesis and the circulatory system is simply their means of transport to areas of the body (mostly loose connective tissues or lymphoid tissues) where they mount inflammatory or immune responses. The signals that prompt WBCs to leave the bloodstream at specific locations are cell adhesion molecules displayed by endothelial cells forming the capillary walls at sites of inflammation. Once out of the bloodstream, leukocytes move through the tissue spaces by amoeboid motion (they form flowing cytoplasmic extensions that move them along). By following the chemical trail of molecules released by damaged cells or other leukocytes, a phenomenon called positive chemotaxis, they pinpoint areas of tissue damage and infection and gather there in large numbers to destroy foreign substances and dead cells. Whenever white blood cells are mobilized for action, the body speeds up their production and their numbers may double within a few hours.

SIGNIFICANCE OF PEROXIDASE IN EOSINOPHILS M a rg a ret A . K e lsa ll Peroxidase-bearing granules are the primary component and product of eosino­ phils. The physiological significance of eosinophils is, therefore, considered to be related to the ability of this cell to synthesize, store, and transport peroxidase and to release the peroxidase-positive granules into body fluids by a lytic process that is controlled by hormones, by variations in the histamine-epinephrine balance, and by several other stimuli. Peroxidase occurs not only in eosinophils, but also in neutrophils and blood platelets; but it is not present in most cells of animal tissues. The purpose of this work is to consider, as a working hypothesis, that the function of eosinophils is to produce, store, and transport peroxidase to catalyze oxidations. Many of the aerobic dehydrogenases that catalyze reactions in which hydrogen peroxide is produced are involved in protein catabolism. Therefore, relations between eosinophils and several normal and pathological conditions of increased protein catabolism are emphasized, and also the significance of peroxi­ dase in eosinophils and other leukocytes to H 20 2 produced by irradiation is considered.

Abstract Although drug-induced hematologic disorders are less common than other types of adverse reactions, they are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Some agents, such as hemolytics, cause predictable hematologic disease, but others induce idiosyncratic reactions not directly related to the drug’s pharmacology. The most important part of managing hematologic disorders is the prompt recognition that a problem exists. The main mechanisms to manage hematologic disorders include vigilance to observe signs and symptoms indicating a blood disorder and patient education of the warning symptoms to alert them of the need to report a condition to their primary care provider or an emergency health team.

The recovery from neutropenia was accompanied by a single wave of myeloid proliferation, an increase in marrow myeloid-labeling indices, and an increase in serum muramidase levels. After recovery from neutropenia during the period when blood neutrophils (PMN) were normal or increased, marrow myeloid precursors became scarce. The decline in marrow precursors and marrow PMN reserves heralded the recurrence of neutropenia. Neither diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DF32P) leukokinetic studies nor the rate of development of neutropenia suggested shortened PMN survival as a mechanism for the neutropenia. These studies indicate that the cyclic neutropenia is due to a regularly recurring failure in PMN production.
