Vad händer i “ the black box”? (immature hematopoiesis)
HSC (hematopoetiska stamcellen)
Multi-potent
Oligo-potent/
Oligo-primed
Uni-potent
Stamcellskonceptet Olika funktioner
•  självförnyelse (identisk kopia).
•  differentiering i >1 typ av dotterceller
•  Kan (funktionellt) ersätta ett organ …. reservdel
Olika typer
• 
embryonala stamceller
• 
cancer stamceller
• 
vuxna (somatiska) stamceller
Toti-, pluri-, multi-, bi-, unipotent

Cancer stamceller
Varför är cancerstamceller viktiga?
1. Infrekventa celler.
2. 
Ansvarar för uppkomsten och ‘underhåll’ av
tumören (vissa/alla?).
3. Ofta terapiresistenta
Cancer stamceller
Illustrerad vetenskap, nr 8 2007
Efter celldelningen får inte bara den
nya stamcellen utan också
mellanformerna och senare de färdiga
vävnadscellerna skador - i form av
aneuploidi och/eller mutationer

Overview of included studies
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)
Article I (TNF)
•  Most studied and well defined organ restricted stem cell
•  Resides in adult bone marrow (BM) in HSC niches
•  Resides in BM at low frequencies (1/10.000-20.000)
•  Can functionally repopulate tissue of origin
•  Potential to produce all blood cell lineages …. Life-long!!!
•  Widely used in clinical practice
•  Responsible for cellular output of 5.000.000 cells/sec in man
Article II (Aging)
Article III&IV (subfractionation)
13.500.000.000 blodceller under denna föreläsning
Article III&IV
Elucidation of the phenotypic, functional, and molecular topography
of a myeloerythroid progenitor cell hierarchy.
Pronk, C.J.*, Rossi, D.J.*, Mansson, R., Attema, J.L., Norddahl, G.L., Chan, C.K., Sigvardsson,
M., Weissman, I.L., and Bryder, D.
Deciphering developmental stages of adult myelopoiesis.
Pronk, C.J., Attema, J., Rossi, D.J., Sigvardsson, M., and Bryder, D.
Articles III&IV: lite bakgrund
Articles III + IV study the developmental stages of hematopoiesis and regulators
involved in these processes
Why is this important?
1. To better understand normal
biology
2. To better understand abnormal
blood cell production, f.i.
• Aging: lineage skewing
• Cancer: block in differentiation

Articles III&IV: Gene expression analysis
Population based or single cell
evaluation of gene activity,
both global gene profile and a
selected set of genes
Articles III&IV: Some conclusions
1. 
Phenotypic and functional identification of
Pre MegE, Pre CFU-E and Pre GM cells
2. 
No evidence for the existence of the
previously identified CMP
3. 
Hierarchical and lineage relationship of
newly and previous identified cellular
subsets
4. 
Closer developmental relationship of the
innate (“G/M”) and adaptive (“lymphoid”)
immune system than previously assumed
