Learning objectives

What are stem cells and their unique properties?

• Definition: Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide to produce more stem cells.

1) Self-renewal

2) Differentiation potential

Stem cell

Catherin Twomey , the National Academies, Understanding Stem Cells

Stem cells can be discriminated based on their differentiation potential:

• Totipotent stem cells

• Pluripotent stem cells

• Multipotent stem cells

• Unipotent stem cells

can give rise to an entire viable organism

can give rise to every type of cell derived from the three germ layers except trophoblast

can only produce a limited number of cell types such as hematopoietic stem cell

can’t produce any cell type other than itself

Self-renewal

1) Somatic cell nuclear transfer(Cloning)

2) Induce pluripotent stem cells

Mitalipov and Wolf, Adv Biochem Eng Biotechnol, 2009

Egg cell

Developmental potential and reprogramming of stem cells

ESCs

Types and sources of stem cells

1) Embryonic stem cells(pluripotent stem cells)

• The inner cell mass of blastocysts

2) Adult stem cells(multipotent and unipotent stem cells)

• Found in various tissues such as

- Fat tissue

- Bone marrow

- Brain

- Muscle

- Etc.

• Multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells

- Skin renewal at 20 days

- Heart remodeling at 5 years

- All bones rebuilt at 10 years

- Brain tissue remodelled at 20 years

Leeb C et al., Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2010

• Cell therapy

• Models of disease for new drug testing

• Models of disease for basic knowledge

The potential applications of stem cellsin medicine

Therapeutic applicability of stem cells

1) Embryonic stem cells(pluripotent stem cells)

• Up to date, there is no single approved medical treatment derived from ESCs

• In clinical trial

- Spinal cord injury

- Diabetes

- Severe myopia

- Etc.

2) Adult stem cells(multipotent and unipotent stem cells)

• Current clinic uses

- Skin grafts

- Hematopoietic stem cells transplantation

• In clinical trials

-Spinal cord injury

- Corneal regeneration

- Heart damage

- Etc.

Limitation of stem cells therapies

1) Embryonic stem cells(pluripotent stem cells)

1. Tumors formation

2. Incompatible with the immune system of patients

3. Ethically problematic cell source

2) Adult stem cells(multipotent and unipotent stem cells)

1. Reduce the problem of tumors formation

2. Reduce the problem of severe

immune reactivity by autologoustreatment.

3. Reduce the problem of ethically controversial

4. Difficulties in isolation and purification

5. Limit in proliferation capability

Pluripotent stem cells can develop teratoma

Answer: HSCs is multipotent stem cell that give rise to all red and white blood cells and platelets.

• Limited number of cells

available from a single unit

• Non-invasive

• Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) risk : +

• The main source of HSCs in adult

• Invasive

• Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) risk : ++

• Require granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-induced peripheral stem cell mobilization

• Less-invasive

• Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) risk : +++

Hematopoietic stem cell therapies

Autologous stem cell transplantation

-Transplantation using the patient’s own stem cells

-Transplantation using the patient’s own modified stem cells

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation

-Transplantation using stem cells from

a matched donor carrying the normal gene

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the intravenous infusion of hematopoietic stem cells to establish marrow and immune function in patients with a variety of acquired and inherited malignant and nonmalignant disorders.

Question

What do you think about stem cell beauty treatments?

Bone marrow

• BM is a highly cellular structure present within the hollow cavities of hard bone tissue.

pelvis sternum

Normal bone marrow

• Children: bone marrow in all bones is red bone marrow.

• Adulthood: bone marrow cells in long bones of hand and leg become non-functional and are replaced by fat cells to form yellow bone marrow. (100-age = % cellularity)

• The only bones to carry red bone marrow throughout life are the vertebrae, sternum, rib, hip bone, and skull bones.

• In cases of severe blood loss, the body can convert yellow marrow back to red marrow to increase blood cell production.

• On average, bone marrow constitutes 4% of the total body mass of humans.

Non-hematopoietic cells in bone marrow

• Non-hematopoietic cells (BM stromal cells) are connective tissue cells that support the function of parenchymal cells (hematopoietic cells)

• BM stromal cells release colony stimulating factors, provide hematopoietic environment that facilitate hematopoiesis– Adipocyte (storing energy as fat)

– Osteoblast (synthesize bone)

– Osteoclast (resorb bone)

– Fibroblast (maintain the structural integrity of connective tissues)

– Endothelial cell (create the thin-walled endothelium that lines the inner surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels)

– Macrophage (deliver iron for hemoglobin production)
