DEVELOPMENT 1: STEM CELLS AND CELL FATE
Development= events in changing from simple to more complex form
4 sub-processes:
Cell division
§
Differentiation
§
Pattern formation
§
Morphogenesis: shape of body changes
§
Cell differentiation
Genomic equivalence= all cells in the body have same genetic material
Humans have 210 major cell types
§
Differentiation= cell becomes more specialized in structure and function
Ex: Muscle and nerve cells have different structure and function
§
Cell determination= potential fates become more limited until cell is
'committed' to its fate
Potential of a cell to become different types of cells
§
Molecular basis of determination
Differential inheritance of cytoplasmic determinants
§
Cell-cell communication
§
Stem cells give rise to differentiated cells
Stem cells are capable of continued division, and can give rise to
differentiated cells
Degrees of determination differ:
Totipotent: give rise to any tissue in an organism
Embryo and extra-embryonic
Pluripotent: give rise to all cells in the adult
Multipotent: give rise to limited number of cells
Not all cell types ex. bone marrow
Unipotent: give rise to only a single cell type
§
Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent whereas adult stem cells are multipotent
Put needle in embryo in inner cell mass and take cells out for culture
The discovery of growth factors that control cell determination and growth
Levi-Montalcini and Cohen
Took tumor cells from a mouse and put it into chick embryo. Huge over
proliferation of neurons in chick. What is produced by tumor cells for
overproduction of neurons?
Discovery of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) (peptide growth factor)
Sensory ganglion dissected from chick embryo---> secreted proteins from
tumor cells added to chick embryo----> nerve outgrowth!
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a model organism for studying
development
Model organism= organism selected for study as representative of a large
group of species
One of the most completely described models of development
§
Adult worm consists of 959 somatic cells
§
Transparent, so division can be followed
§
Lineage of cells mapped
§
Fate of each cell is same in every individual
§
Identifying genes involved in vulva cell fate determination
Isolated mutants missing vulva--> map and sequence mutated gene-->
identified growth factor and receptor
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) in vulva cell fate
Anchor cell secretes inducer that influences vulva cell fate
PARACRINE SIGNALING
Cells closer to anchor cell receives higher concentration of EGF
Anchor cell secretes EGF--> Activates EGF receptor--> High EGF promotes
primary fate---> Lower EGF promotes secondary fate
Depending on how much of growth factor received--> different fates for
the cell
THEME 2 IN SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION: PROTEIN PHOSPHORYLATION
On/off switch
Protein kinases: phosphorylate groups to turn it on
Protein phosphatases: remove phosphate groups to turn it off
On/off state can either be phosphorylated or not
Epidermal growth factor receptor is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)
Inactive1.
Ligand binding (EGF secreted by anchor cell) --> dimerization
Two receptor's phosphorylates the other on tyrosinei.
2.
Phosphorylation on tyrosine3.
Protein binding --> signal transduction
Bind to tyrosine residue that causes a responsei.
4.
Cell fate determination is reversible
John Gurdon, Shinya Yamannaka (iPS cells)
Nuclear reprogramming= nucleus from differentiated cell undergoes
changes to de-differentiate and allow it to direct development
Similar to John Gurdon:
Somatic cell nuclear transfer in mammals
Mammary cell donor donates mammary cells which are cultured1.
Egg cell donor donates egg cell from ovary from which the nucleus is
removed
2.
Fuse mammary cell with egg cell donor to create nucleus from mammary
cell
Nucleus is de-differentiatedi.
3.
Nucleus from mammary cell is grown in culture to create early embryo4.
Early embryo is implanted in uterus of 3rd sheep (surrogate mother)5.
Embryonic development occurs and Lamb "Dolly" is genetically identical
to mammary cell donor
6.
Shinya Yamannaka
Reprogramming adult cells into iPS cells
Stem cell--> precursor cell ------> Skin fibroblast cell
Add 4 stem cell master regulator genes, Oct 3/4, Sox2, Klf4, cy-Myc
§
INDUCES PLURIPOTENT (iPS) CELL

Document Summary

Development= events in changing from simple to more complex form. Genomic equivalence= all cells in the body have same genetic material. Differentiation= cell becomes more specialized in structure and function. Ex: muscle and nerve cells have different structure and function. Cell determination= potential fates become more limited until cell is. Potential of a cell to become different types of cells. Stem cells are capable of continued division, and can give rise to differentiated cells. Totipotent: give rise to any tissue in an organism. Pluripotent: give rise to all cells in the adult. Multipotent: give rise to limited number of cells. Unipotent: give rise to only a single cell type. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent whereas adult stem cells are multipotent. Put needle in embryo in inner cell mass and take cells out for culture. The discovery of growth factors that control cell determination and growth. Took tumor cells from a mouse and put it into chick embryo.
