The pro-Inflammatory cytokines effects on mobilization, self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells.
Abstract
Different mature immune cells are being produced during infection by hematopoietic stem cells in order to compensate the required cells battling against pathogens. A wide variety of pro-inflammatory cytokines like G-CSF, TNFα, IFNα, IL-1, IL-6, etc. affect HSCs and provoke different responses including maintenance, survival, activation, proliferation, differentiation, and immune responses. The exact mechanisms of translating pathogen sensing into cytokine signals for regulating HSCs are not fully understood yet. Moreover, the interaction between these cytokines modulating different responses have to be well established in order to understand HSC responses during inflammatory complications, since several different effects have been attributed to cytokines in various conditions. IFNγ demonstrates pleiotropic influences on various cell types such as HSCs and HSPCs. It can induce HSC proliferation, quiescence, reconstitution, mobilization and differentiation. Similar to other inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, IL-3, IL-2, and GM-CSF, G-CSF is a significant mobilizing factor. It contributes to increase phenotypic HSCs in bone marrow (BM), induction of HSC cycling and quiescence, and declined long-term repopulating activity of HS...Continue Reading

Apoptosis
Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
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.
