Stem Cells

Stem cells are master cells with two important
characteristics



Unspecialized cells capable of their own renewal
Ability to differentiate into different cell types
The stem cells may have various differentiation
potentials



Totipotent
Pluripotent
Multipotent
Unipotent
Stem Cells Fate
Stem Cell
Fail to differentiate or
undergo apoptosis Neoplasia
Replenish old/damaged
tissue by proliferation and
maturation
Differentiation senescence and apoptosis
Stem cell niche
Niche signals regulate stem cell

Self-renewal
Survival

Niche cells adhere to stem cells by cell-cell
adhesion
Stem/niche organization provides cues to
organize spindles and self-renewal signals
Niches

many
adult
tissues:
hematopoietic system, neural tissues, skin, gut
epithelium, etc
Cytokines




Prime molecules modulating cellular
growth
and
differentiation
of
embryonic, hematopoietic and other
stem cell types
Act in low concentrations (10-4 -10-5 M)
Complex molecules
Two important characteristics
Redundancy
 Pleiotropism

STAT signaling

Principal mediator of the biological responses to
ligands that activate gp130
Post-translationally regulated by tyrosine and
serine phosphorylation

Marker for undifferentiated cells
Master regulator of initiation, maintenance and
differentiation of pluripotent cells
Exerts effects via certain target genes like
genes encoding, the transcriptional co-factor
UTf-1, Zfp42/Rex-1, PDGF, otx-2, etc
Requires several cofactors to execute its
functions of maintaining pluripotency
Relationship between Oct-3/4 expression and
stem cell fate
Embryonic Stem cells self renewal





LIF maintains ES cells self renewal
Signal transduction by LIF and other IL-6 family
members occurs via a common signal transducer gp130
Dimerization of the receptor associated subunit
activates receptor associated kinases like Src and the
Janus family of kinases e.g. Jak1, Jak2 and Tyk2
Homo-dimerization (IL-6/IL-6R and IL-11/IL-11R) or
hetero-dimerization (LIF/LIFR)
