Matrix Elasticity Directs Stem Cell Lineage Specification
Microenvironments appear important in stem cell lineage specification but can be difficult to adequately characterize or control with soft tissues. Naive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are shown here to specify lineage and commit to phenotypes with extreme sensitivity to tissue-level elasticity. Soft matrices that mimic brain are neurogenic, stiffer matrices that mimic muscle are myogenic, and c...
متن کاملFLT3 in lineage specification and plasticity
FLT3 is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is expressed in CD34+ hematopoietic stem/ progenitor cells (HSPCs) and is important for both normal myeloid and lymphoid differentiation. FLT3 expression in Pax5 negative lymphoid precursors coincides with a window of multilineage differentiation potential in mice and humans. Recent work has shown that FLT3 activating mutations can collaborate with a Nup9...
متن کاملMapping the route from naive pluripotency to lineage specification
In the mouse blastocyst, epiblast cells are newly formed shortly before implantation. They possess a unique developmental plasticity, termed naive pluripotency. For development to proceed, this naive state must be subsumed by multi-lineage differentiation within 72 h following implantation. In vitro differentiation of naive embryonic stem cells (ESCs) cultured in controlled conditions provides ...
متن کاملB lymphocyte lineage specification, commitment and epigenetic control of transcription by early B cell factor 1.
Early B cell factor 1 (EBF1) is a transcription factor that is critical for both B lymphopoiesis and B cell function. EBF1 is a requisite component of the B lymphocyte transcriptional network and is essential for B lineage specification. Recent studies revealed roles for EBF1 in B cell commitment. EBF1 binds its target genes via a DNA-binding domain including a unique 'zinc knuckle', which medi...
متن کاملLineage Specification: Reading the Instructions May Help!
Understanding lineage specification is biologically important and critical for the production of cells for regenerative medicine. Extrinsic cues are clearly necessary but do they direct or select lineage? Single-cell analysis now suggests that cytokine signaling can instruct lineage choice in blood stem cells.
