Cell cycle control during hematopoietic cell differentiation

Human Cell

Abstract

This review summarizes recent studies on the cell cycle profile of hematopoietic cell differentiation and its regulatory mechanisms. Hematopoiesis involves self-renewal of stem cells, expansion of lineage-committed progenitors, and maturation into the terminal elements. The cell cycle status of each process is tightly regulated according to function: stem cells are in a quiescent state for self renewal, the immature progenitor population actively cycles for expansion, and terminally-differentiated cells are arrested in G0/G1 to efficiently express various genes. Recent investigations have defined critical components implicated in cell cycle regulation during hematopoietic cell differentiation. Inhibition of pRB phosphorylation and E2F activity, probably through the effects of negative growth factors, such as transforming growth factor-beta and the interferons, is found to be important for cell cycle arrest of stem cells. De-repression of these elements by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which can be activated by colony stimulating factors, is associated with the expansion of immature progenitor cells. Suppression of pRB phosphorylation and E2F activity is once again accompanied by terminal differentiation. Among hematopoietic ...Continue Reading

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
