Polarized Cells, Polarized Views: Asymmetric Cell Division in Hematopoietic Cells
It has long been recognized that alterations in cell shape and polarity play important roles in coordinating lymphocyte functions. In the last decade, a new aspect of lymphocyte polarity has attracted much attention, termed asymmetric cell division (ACD). ACD has previously been shown to dictate or influence many aspects of development in model organisms such as the worm and the fly, and to be ...
متن کاملAsymmetric cell division in normal and malignant hematopoietic precursor cells.
Every second of our lives, millions of blood cells are destroyed and must be regenerated. This regeneration is accomplished by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), the only cells that throughout life are able to both produce the required new cells of all blood lineages and maintain their own numbers. Obviously, the regulation of HSC fate decisions between remaining in the stem cell state (selfrenew...
متن کاملPolarized myosin produces unequal-size daughters during asymmetric cell division.
Asymmetric positioning of the mitotic spindle before cytokinesis can produce different-sized daughter cells that have distinct fates. Here, we found an asymmetric division in the Caenorhabditis elegans Q neuroblast lineage that began with a centered spindle but generated different-sized daughters, the smaller (anterior) of which underwent apoptosis. During this division, more myosin II accumula...
متن کاملPolarized views
One can almost feel the strain as a newt lung epithelial cell (top left) undergoes mitosis. The white spindle fibers anchor the chromosomes (visible in outline) between the spindle poles, while kinetochore microtubule fibers connect each chromatid at its centromere to one of the mitotic poles. Elongated mitochondria, long stress fibers and small, spherical organelles can also be seen surroundin...
متن کاملPolarized Cell Division of Chlamydia trachomatis
Bacterial cell division predominantly occurs by a highly conserved process, termed binary fission, that requires the bacterial homologue of tubulin, FtsZ. Other mechanisms of bacterial cell division that are independent of FtsZ are rare. Although the obligate intracellular human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis, the leading bacterial cause of sexually transmitted infections and trachoma, lacks Ft...
