Signaling pathways in self-renewing hematopoietic and leukemic stem cells: do all stem cells need a niche?
Many adult tissue stem cells, such as the cells of the hematopoietic system, gastrointestinal epithelium, brain, epidermis, mammary gland and lung have now been identified, all of them fulfilling a crucial role in supplying organisms with mature cells during normal homeostasis as well as in times of tissue generation or repair. Two unique features characterize adult stem cells: the ability to g...
متن کاملSCL, LMO1 and Notch1 Reprogram Thymocytes into Self-Renewing Cells
The molecular determinants that render specific populations of normal cells susceptible to oncogenic reprogramming into self-renewing cancer stem cells are poorly understood. Here, we exploit T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) as a model to define the critical initiating events in this disease. First, thymocytes that are reprogrammed by the SCL and LMO1 oncogenic transcription factors ...
متن کاملCutaneous immunosurveillance by self-renewing dermal γδ T cells
The presence of γδ T cell receptor (TCR)-expressing cells in the epidermis of mice, termed dendritic epidermal T cells (DETCs), is well established. Because of their strict epidermal localization, it is likely that DETCs primarily respond to epithelial stress, such as infections or the presence of transformed cells, whereas they may not participate directly in dermal immune responses. In this s...
متن کاملSelf-renewing Monolayer of Primary Colonic or Rectal Epithelial Cells
Background & Aims Three-dimensional organoid culture has fundamentally changed the in vitro study of intestinal biology enabling novel assays; however, its use is limited because of an inaccessible luminal compartment and challenges to data gathering in a three-dimensional hydrogel matrix. Long-lived, self-renewing 2-dimensional (2-D) tissue cultured from primary colon cells has not been accomp...
متن کاملInflammatory signaling pathways in self-renewing breast cancer stem cells.
Cancer stem cells (CSCs), which make up only a small proportion of heterogeneous tumor cells, may possess greater ability to maintain tumorigenesis than do other tumor cell types. Breast cancer tissue is reported to contain cancer stem-like cells. In order to eradicate tumor cells, various approaches have been taken to identify the critical molecules and signaling pathways in breast CSCs. Recen...
