Study Notes
Hematopoiesis Course
- Hematopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation
- Blood is a suspension of non-dividing cells
- Red blood cells (RBCs) deliver oxygen
- Platelets are involved in hemostasis
- White blood cells (WBCs) are part of the immune system
Intended Learning Outcomes
- Define hematopoiesis
- Describe the bone marrow microenvironment
- Describe and identify hematopoietic cell types
- Identify hematopoietic growth factors
Course Outlines
- Normal Blood Cell Synthesis (Hematopoiesis)
- Red Blood Cell Disorders
- White Blood Cell Disorders
- Bleeding Disorders
- Blood Transfusion Complications
- Spleen and Thymus Disorders
Components of Blood
- Plasma
- White Blood Cells (WBCs)
- Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
- Platelets
Sites of Hematopoiesis
-
Fetal Development:
- Yolk sac (early)
- Liver (mid-development)
- Spleen (later fetal stages)
- Bone marrow (takes over around 5 months gestation)
-
Postnatal: Bone marrow is the primary site for blood cell production
Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)
- Rare cells in bone marrow
- Self-renewal capacity
- Can differentiate into all blood cell types
- Regulated by cytokines (e.g., TGF-β)
- Have possible fates including:
- Self-renewal
- Differentiation
- Migration
- Apoptosis
Erythropoiesis
- Production of red blood cells
- Erythropoietin (EPO) is a key hormone regulating this process
- Occurs in bone marrow via stages including cells like proerythroblast, basophilic, polychromatophilic, and orthochromic
Myelopoiesis
- Production of various white blood cell types
- Begins from CFU-GEMM to CFU-G/Eo/M/baso
- Includes cells like myeloblasts, promyelocytes, myelocytes, metamyelocytes, bands, and mature cells (neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils)
Lymphoid Cell Development
- Development of lymphocytes (T cells and B cells)
- Involves stages in bone marrow (B cells) and thymus (T cells)
- Regulated by various growth factors and cytokines
Hematopoietic Growth Factors
- Cytokines play a critical role in hematopoiesis
- Stimulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and maturation
- Influence various stages of blood cell development
