The functional relationship between hematopoietic stem cells and developing T lymphocytes

Abstract

In contrast to all other blood and immune cells, T lymphocytes do not develop in the bone marrow (BM), but in the specialized microenvironment provided by the thymus. Similar to the other lineages, however, all T cells arise from multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that reside in the BM. Not all HSCs give rise to T cells; but how many and what kind of developmental checkpoints are located along this intricate differentiation path is the subject of intense research. Traditionally, this process has been studied almost exclusively using mouse cells, but recent advances in immunodeficient mouse models, high-speed cell sorting, lentiviral transduction protocols, and deep sequencing techniques have allowed these questions to be addressed using human cells. Here we review the process of thymic seeding by BM-derived cells and T cell commitment in humans, discussing recent insights into the clonal composition of the thymus and the definition of developmental checkpoints, on the basis of insights from human severe combined immunodeficiency patients.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
