A characteristic of neurological disorders is the loss of critical populations of cells that the body is unable to replace,thus there has been much interest in identifying methods of generating clinically relevant numbers of cells to replace those that have been damaged or lost.The process of neural direct conversion,in which cells of one lineage are converted into cells of a neural lineage without first inducing pluripotency,shows great potential,with evidence of the generation of a range of functional neural cell types both in vitro and in vivo,through viral and non-viral delivery of exogenous factors,as well as chemical induction methods.Induced neural cells have been proposed as an attractive alternative to neural cells derived from embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells,with prospective roles in the investigation of neurological disorders,including neurodegenerative disease modelling,drug screening,and cellular replacement for regenerative medicine applications,however further investigations into improving the efficacy and safety of these methods need to be performed before neural direct conversion becomes a clinically viable option.In this review,we describe the generation of diverse neural cell types via direct conversion of somatic cells,with comparison against stem cell-based approaches,as well as discussion of their potential research and clinical applications. 相似文献

The cerebral cortex is composed of a large variety of distinct cell‐types including projection neurons, interneurons, and glial cells which emerge from distinct neural stem cell lineages. The vast majority of cortical projection neurons and certain classes of glial cells are generated by radial glial progenitor cells in a highly orchestrated manner. Recent studies employing single cell analysis and clonal lineage tracing suggest that neural stem cell and radial glial progenitor lineage progression are regulated in a profound deterministic manner. In this review we focus on recent advances based mainly on correlative phenotypic data emerging from functional genetic studies in mice. We establish hypotheses to test in future research and outline a conceptual framework how epigenetic cues modulate the generation of cell‐type diversity during cortical development. 相似文献

Tissue restoration is the process whereby multiple damaged cell types are replaced to restore the histoarchitecture and function
to the tissue. Several theories, have been proposed to explain the phenomenon of tissue restoration in amphibians and in animals
belonging to higher order. These theories include dedifferentiation of damaged tissues, transdifferentiation of lineage-committed
progenitor cells, and activation of reserve, precursor cells. Studies by Young et al. and others demonstrated that connective
tissue compartments throughout postnatal individuals contain reserve precursor cells. Subsequent repetitive single cell-cloning
and cell-sorting studies revealed that these reserve precursor cells consisted of multiple populations of cells, including,
tissue-specific progenitor cells, germ-layer lineage stem cells, and pluripotent stem cells. Tissue-specific progenitor cells
display various capacities for differentiation, ranging from unipotency (forming a single cell type) to multipotency (forming
multiple cell types). However, all progenitor cells demonstrate a finite life span of 50 to 70 population doublings before
programmed cell senescence and cell death occurs. Germ-layer lineage stem cells can form a wider range of cell types than
a progenitor cell. An individual germ-layer lineage stem cell can form all cells types within its respective germ-layer lineage
(i.e., ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm). Pluripotent stem cells can form a wider range of cell types than a single germ-layer
lineage stem cell. A single pluripotent stem cell can form cells belonging to all three germ layer lineages. Both germ-layer
lineage stem cells and pluripotent stem cells exhibit extended capabilities for self-renewal, far surpassing the limited life
span of progenitor cells (50–70 population doublings). The authors propose that the activation of quiescent tissue-specific
progenitor cells, germ-layer lineage stem cells, and/or pluripotent stem cells may be a potential explanation, along with
dedifferentiation and transdifferentiation, for the process of tissue restoration. Several model systems are currently being
investigated to determine the possibilities of using these adult quiescent reserve precursor cells for tissue engineering. 相似文献

Germ cells have unique features strikingly distinguishable from somatic cells. The functional divergence between these two cell lineages has been postulated to result from epigenetic mechanisms. Here we show that the chromosomal centric and pericentric (C/P) regions in male and female germline cells are specifically DNA-hypomethylated, despite the hypermethylation status in somatic cells. In multipotent germline stem cells, the C/P region was initially hypomethylated and then shifted to the hypermethylation status during differentiation into somatic lineage in vitro. Moreover, the somatic-type hypermethylation pattern was maintained in the somatic cell-derived nuclear transfer embryos throughout preimplantation development. These results imply that the identity of germ cell lineage may be warranted by the hypomethylation status of the C/P region as an epigenetic signature. 相似文献

Tissue engineering has yet to reach its ideal goal, i.e. creating profitable off-the-shelf tissues and organs, designing scaffolds and three-dimensional tissue architectures that can maintain the blood supply, proper biomaterial selection, and identifying the most efficient cell source for use in cell therapy and tissue engineering. These are still the major challenges in this field. Regarding the identification of the most appropriate cell source, aging as a factor that affects both somatic and stem cells and limits their function and applications is a preventable and, at least to some extents, a reversible phenomenon. Here, we reviewed different stem cell types, namely embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and genetically modified stem cells, as well as their sources, i.e. autologous, allogeneic, and xenogeneic sources. Afterward, we approached aging by discussing the functional decline of aged stem cells and different intrinsic and extrinsic factors that are involved in stem cell aging including replicative senescence and Hayflick limit, autophagy, epigenetic changes, miRNAs, mTOR and AMPK pathways, and the role of mitochondria in stem cell senescence. Finally, various interventions for rejuvenation and geroprotection of stem cells are discussed. These interventions can be applied in cell therapy and tissue engineering methods to conquer aging as a limiting factor, both in original cell source and in the in vitro proliferated cells. 相似文献

Organs whose source is the mesoderm lineage contain a subpopulation of stem cells that are able to differentiate among mesodermal derivatives (chondrocytes, osteocytes, adipocytes). This subpopulation of adult stem cells, called “mesenchymal stem cells” or “mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)”, contributes directly to the homeostatic maintenance of their organs; hence, their senescence could be very deleterious for human bodily functions. MSCs are easily isolated and amenable their expansion in vitro because of the research demanding to test them in many diverse clinical indications. All of these works are shown by the rapidly expanding literature that includes many in vivo animal models. We do not have an in-depth understanding of mechanisms that induce cellular senescence, and to further clarify the consequences of the senescence process in MSCs, some hints may be derived from the study of cellular behaviour in vivo and in vitro, autophagy, mitochondrial stress and exosomal activity. In this particular work, we decided to review these biological features in the literature on MSC senescence over the last three years. 相似文献

Stem cells and progenitor cells are the cells of origin for multi-cellular organisms and organs. They play key roles during development and their dysregulation gives rise to human diseases such as cancer. The recent development of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology which converts somatic cells to stem-like cells holds great promise for regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, the understanding of proliferation, differentiation, and self-renewal of stem cells and organ-specific progenitor cells is far from clear. Recently, the Hippo pathway was demonstrated to play important roles in these processes. The Hippo pathway is a newly established signaling pathway with critical functions in limiting organ size and suppressing tumorigenesis. This pathway was first found to inhibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis, therefore regulating cell number and organ size in both Drosophila and mammals. However, in several organs, disturbance of the pathway leads to specific expansion of the progenitor cell compartment and manipulation of the pathway in embryonic stem cells strongly affects their self-renewal and differentiation. In this review, we summarize current observations on roles of the Hippo pathway in different types of stem cells and discuss how these findings changed our view on the Hippo pathway in organ development and tumorigenesis. 相似文献

The cytoarchitectural simplicity of the cerebral cortex makes it an attractive system to study central nervous system (CNS) histogenesis—the process whereby diverse cells are generated in the right numbers at the appropriate place and time. Recently, multipotent stem cells have been implicated in this process, as progenitor cells for diverse types of cortical neurons and glia. Continuous analysis of stem cell clone development reveals stereotyped division patterns within their lineage trees, highly reminiscent of neural lineage trees in arthropods and Caenorhabditis elegans. Given that these division patterns play a critical part in generating diverse neural types in invertebrates, we speculate that they play a similar role in the cortex. Because stereotyped lineage trees can be observed from cells growing at clonal density, cell-intrinsic factors are likely to have a key role in stem cell behavior. Cortical stem cells also respond to environmental signals to alter the types of cells they generate, providing the means for feedback regulation on the germinal zone. Evidence is accumulating that cortical stem cells, influenced by intrinsic programs and environmental signals, actually change with development—for example, by reducing the number and types of neurons they produce. Age-related changes in the stem cell population may have a critical role in orchestrating development; whether these cells truly self-renew is a point of discussion. In summary, we propose that cortical stem cells are the focus of regulatory mechanisms central to the development of the cortical cytoarchitecture. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Neurogenin 3 and the enteroendocrine cell lineage in the adult mouse small intestinal epithelium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It is thought that small intestinal epithelial stem cell progeny, via Notch signaling, yield a Hes1-expressing columnar lineage progenitor and an Atoh1 (also known as Math1)-expressing common progenitor for all granulocytic lineages including enteroendocrine cells, one of the body's largest populations of endocrine cells. Because Neurogenin 3 (Neurog3) null mice lack enteroendocrine cells, Neurog3-expressing progenitors derived from the common granulocytic progenitor are thought to produce the enteroendocrine lineage, although more recent work indicates that Neurog3+ progenitors also contribute to non-enteroendocrine lineages. We aimed to test this model and better characterize the progenitors leading from the stem cells to the enteroendocrine lineage. We investigated clones derived from enteroendocrine precursors and found no evidence of a common granulocytic progenitor that routinely yields all granulocytic lineages. Rather, enteroendocrine cells are derived from a short-lived bipotential progenitor whose offspring, probably via Notch signaling, yield a Neurog3+ cell committed to the enteroendocrine lineage and a progenitor committed to the columnar lineage. The Neurog3+ cell population is heterogeneous; only about 1/3 are slowly cycling progenitors, the rest are postmitotic cells in early stages of enteroendocrine differentiation. No evidence was found that Neurog3+ cells contribute to non-enteroendocrine lineages. Revised lineage models for the small intestinal epithelium are introduced. 相似文献

Stem cells are defined by the fact that they both self-renew, producing additional stem cells, and generate lineal descendants that differentiate into distinct functional cell types. In Drosophila, a small germline stem cell population is influenced by a complex microenvironment, the stem cell niche, which itself includes a somatic stem cell population. While stem cells are unique, their immediate descendants retain considerable stem cell character as they mitotically amplify prior to differentiation and can be induced to de-differentiate into stem cells. Despite their importance, very few genes are known that are expressed in the stem cells or their early amplifying daughters. We present here whole-genome microarray expression analysis of testes specifically enriched for stem cells, their amplifying daughters, and their niche. These studies have identified a number of loci with highly specific stem cell expression and provide candidate downstream targets of Jak/Stat self-renewal signaling. Furthermore, functional analysis for two genes predicted to be enriched has enabled us to define novel regulators of the germline lineage. The gene list generated in this study thus provides a potent resource for the investigation of stem cell identity and regulation from functional as well as evolutionary perspectives. 相似文献

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are pluripotent cells that have the ability of unlimited self-renewal and can be differentiated into different cell lineages, including neural stem (NS) cells. Diverse regulatory signaling pathways of neural stem cells differentiation have been discovered, and this will be of great benefit to uncover the mechanisms of neuronal differentiation in vivo and in vitro . However, the limitations of hESCs resource along with the religious and ethical concerns impede the progress of ESCs application. Therefore, the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) via somatic cell reprogramming have opened up another new territory for regenerative medicine. iPSCs now can be derived from a number of lineages of cells, and are able to differentiate into certain cell types, including neurons. Patient-specific iPSCs are being used in human neurodegenerative disease modeling and drug screening. Furthermore, with the development of somatic direct reprogramming or lineage reprogramming technique, a more effective approach for regenerative medicine could become a complement for iPSCs. 相似文献
