Rb is dispensable for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation of adult hematopoietic stem cells.

چکیده
Stem cells have been identified as essential for maintaining multiple organ systems, including the hematopoietic system. The distinct cell fates of self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) depend on cell division. Recently, several negative regulators of the cell cycle, such as the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21(Cip1), p27(Kip1), and p16(INK4a)/p19(ARF), have been demonstrated to have a role in regulating HSC fate decisions, suggesting that regulation of the G(1)-S phase transition can contribute to HSC self-renewal. Because the retinoblastoma protein, Rb, plays a central role in the regulation of the G(1)-S phase cell cycle, we sought to determine whether it has an intrinsic role in the regulation of HSC fate. Surprisingly, we found that HSC function was essentially normal in the absence of Rb. Rb(Delta/Delta) HSCs contributed normally to both myeloid and lymphoid lineages in both primary and secondary recipients, and no evidence of transformation was observed. Additionally, we observed a mild myeloid expansion and decrease in mature B cells within the Rb(Delta/Delta) bone marrow but a similar contribution to phenotypic HSC populations compared with nondeleted bone marrow. The Rb family members p107 and p130 were not deregulated in cells in which Rb had been deleted, as determined by quantitative RT-PCR on the highly enriched stem and primitive progenitor cell lin(-)c-Kit(+)Sca-1(+) population. These studies demonstrate that Rb is not intrinsically required for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation of adult HSCs.

A review of Biology and clinical use of Mesenchymal stem cell: an immune -modulator progenitor cell
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which also called mesenchymal stromal cells, are multipotent stem cell. Human MSCs typically are positive for the surface markers CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD106, and also negative for hematopoietic markers CD34 and CD45.These cells can be isolated from postnatal bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta, and scalp tissue, as well as from various fetal tissues. ...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells: History, Isolation and Biology
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a kind of adult stem cells possess two properties of long term selfrenewal ability and multilineage differentiation potential into skeletal cell lineages. MSCs were first isolated and described from bone marrow samples. Further investigations have identified several other tissues as alternative sources for these cells. In spite of the clinical importance of MSCs...

متن کاملEvi1 is essential for hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal, and its expression marks hematopoietic cells with long-term multilineage repopulating activity
Ecotropic viral integration site 1 (Evi1), a transcription factor of the SET/PR domain protein family, is essential for the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in mice and is overexpressed in several myeloid malignancies. Here, we generate reporter mice in which an internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-GFP cassette is knocked-in to the Evi1 locus. Using these mice, we find that Evi1 is...
متن کاملSox17 expression confers self-renewal potential and fetal stem cell characteristics upon adult hematopoietic progenitors.
A key question concerns the mechanisms that determine temporal identity in stem cells. Fetal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differ from adult HSCs in terms of gene expression profile, surface marker expression, differentiation, and self-renewal capacity. We previously showed that the transcription factor SOX17 is expressed by fetal, but not adult, HSCs and is required for the maintenance of fe...
