WHAT ARE STEM CELLS? Stem Cells are un-differentiated cells and thus retain the ability to become some or all of the more than 200 different cell types in the body for the life time of the organism and thereby play a critical role in repairing organs and body tissues throughout life.

PROPERTIES OF STEM CELLS STEM CELLS possess three main properties 1. Unspecialization 2. Self-renewal 3. Differentiation 1. Stem Cells are unspecialized They do not have any tissue-specific structures that allow for specialized function Stem cells cannot work with its neighbors 2. Stem cells can renew themselves for long periods This is unlike muscle, blood or nerve cells In the lab, a starting population of SCs that proliferate for many months yields millions of cells that continue to be unspecialized. 3. Differentiation Unspecialized stem cells give rise to specialized cells in response to external and internal chemical signals

PROPERTIES OF STEM CELLS Self-Renewal Self-Renewal Differentiation Unspecialization

POTENTIAL OF STEM CELLS (POTENCY) Stem cells have the capacity to differentiate into different specialized cell types

Symmetric cell division At the beginning of embryonic development, stem cells undergo symmetric cell division. They divide symmetrically, where one cell splits and gives rise to two identical cells by Mitosis that have the same potential. This is why we said the stem cells in the early embryo remain the same and are identical.

Asymmetric cell division When stem cells give rise to two cells that are different from each other. One of the cells remains a stem cell and the other changes into a progenitor cell. At blastocyst formation and gastrulation the stem cells start to divide asymmetrically. Progenitor cell is a young cell that will change into a mature cell type, like the epithelial cell in green. Self-renews Differentiates Progenitor cell Stem cell Stem cell

Stem cell divide to produce a green progenitor cell which differentiates into a green skin cell. That stem cell can divide again, this time producing a different type of progenitor cell which matures into yet another cell type, like this brain cell. DIFFERENTIATION DIFFERENTIATION .  SELF – RENEWAL 

Totipotent Pluripotent Multi- potent This cell Can form the Embryo and placenta Pluripotent This cell Can form the Embryo Multi- potent CLICK! This diagram will eventually show the entire range of development, from fertilized egg to mature cell types in the body. Each cell in the 8-cell embryo, here in red, can generate every cell in the embryo as well as the placenta and extra-embryonic tissues. These cells are called CLICK! TOTIPOTENT stem cells. Why are they called totipotent? (wait for answers) Because one red cell can potentially make all necessary tissues for development. CLICK! During In Vitro Fertilization, can parents choose whether their baby is going to be a boy or a girl? (wait) Yes, there is a widely-practiced procedure called pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, where one cell is removed from the 8-cell embryo and its DNA is examined. What might you look for when trying to identify the embryo’s sex? (wait) If there’s an X and Y chromosome it’s a boy and if there are two X’s it’s a girl. The parents can decide whether to implant it. Also parents with a genetic disease might want to see if their baby has any identifiable genetic disorders and decide whether to implant based on this information. Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis doesn’t destroy the embryo. Scientists are attempting to adapt this pre-implantation genetic diagnosis procedure and use it to create a stem cell line from one single TOTIPOTENT cell, without destroying the embryo. The embryonic stem cells inside the blastocyst, here in purple, can generate every cell in the body except placenta and extra-embryonic tissues. These are called CLICK! PLURIPOTENT stem cells…why? (wait for answers) Because they can differentiate into all the 200+ cell types in the body, but they do not form the placenta. CLICK! Pluripotent stem cells can be isolated and grown in culture, or left to develop into more specialized cells in the body. CLICK! Adult stem cells or tissue-specific stem cells have restricted lineages. Adult stem cells show up when the three distinct layers form in the 14-day-old embryo, and are present in the fetus, baby, child, and so forth. Adult just means they’ve gone further down their lineage pathway than the initial stem cells in the embryo. They are called CLICK! MULTIPOTENT stem cells because they will only become mature cells from the tissue in which they reside. Adult stem cells are present throughout your life and replace fully mature CLICK!, yet damaged and dying cells. Fully mature

Totipotent: Pluripotent: Total potential to form any adult cell type or specialized tissue needed for embryonic development. These stem cells can differentiate into embryonic and extraembryonic cell types. Such cells can construct a complete, viable organism. These cells are produced from the fusion of an egg and sperm cell. Cells produced by the first few divisions of the fertilized egg are also totipotent. Pluripotent: Pluripotent stem cells are the descendants of totipotent cells and can differentiate into nearly all cells, i.e. cells derived from any of the three germ layers Form most or all 210 differentiated adult cell types

Multipotent: Multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a number of cells, but only those of a closely related family of cells. Limited potential Forms only multiple adult cell types Oligodendrocytes Neurons Oligopotent stem cells can differentiate into only a few cells, such as lymphoid or myeloid stem cells. Unipotent cells can produce only one cell type, their own, but have the property of self-renewal, which distinguishes them from non-stem cells (e.g. progenitor cells, muscle stem cells)

TYPES OF STEM CELLS Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, a structure that appears during early phase of embryonic development at day 6 in humans. The main properties of these cells include a robust capacity for self-renewal and the potential to differentiate into specific cell lineages. A human embryonic stem cell is also defined by the expression of several transcription factors and cell surface proteins. The transcription factors Oct-4, Nanog, and  Sox2  form the core regulatory network that ensures the suppression of genes that lead to differentiation and the maintenance of pluripotency

Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells present in all organs of the developed organism with the ability to divide and gave another cell like itself and also a cell more differentiated than itself. Pluripotent adult stem cells are rare and generally small in number but can be found in a number of tissues including umbilical cord blood. Bone marrow has been found to be one of the rich sources of adult stem cells which have been used in treating several conditions including Spinal cord injury, Liver Cirrhosis, Chronic Limb Ischemia and Endstage heart failure. A great deal of adult stem cell research to date has had the aim of characterizing the capacity of the cells to divide or self-renew indefinitely and their differentiation potential

Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) The hematopoietic stem cells are cells that give rise to all red and white blood cells and platelets. These cells are negative for lineages markers and express the markers CD45, CD34, CD133 and CD117. HSCs are multipotent stem cells Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) MSCs can be defined by a combination of phenotypic markers and functional properties. MSCs express Stro-1, CD105 (SH2), CD72 and CD73 (SH3/4) as well as some cell adhesion molecules. MSCs lack the expression of typical hematopoietic antigens CD45, CD34 and CD14. Tissue Committed Stem Cells (TCSCs) TCSCs represent cells that are committed to a particular organ or tissue (e.g. skeletal muscles, liver, neural tissue, myocardium, endocrine pancreas). TCSCs are CXCR4+, CD34+, AC133+, CD45− and Sca-1+, lin−, CD45− .

Induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) Cells Genetically engineering new stem cells Skin cells iPS cells There is another type of stem cell. One way to obtain pluripotent stem cells without destroying an embryo would be to just make them, simply engineer them…. This is like turning back the clock in a subset of cells to create pluripotency, rather than directly harvesting or cloning embryonic stem cells. In induced Pluripotent Stem Cell technology, you FIRST isolate and culture skin (mature) cells from a patient. SECOND, you introduce three or four pluripotency genes into the skin cells by using an engineered virus carrier. THE EXPRESSION OF THESE GENES REGENERATES THE STEM CELL PHENOTYPE. Here, the red cells indicate the cells actively expressing the four essential, stem cell or pluripotency, genes. In the THIRD image, you harvest and culture the cells according to the method for embryonic stem cell culture. FINALLY, through this process, a subset of the cells generates embryonic-stem-cell-like colonies called induced Pluripotent Stem cells. .

Induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) Cells Adult cells can be reprogrammed back to an embryonic state by over-expressing powerful stem cell genes. These cells known as induced pluripotent stem (iPS). iPS cells are not derived from live embryos and can be generated from any patient thus removing both the ethical and immunological issues at the same time. These are not adult stem cells, but rather adult cells (e.g. epithelial cells) reprogrammed to give rise to pluripotent capabilities. Using genetic reprogramming with protein transcription factors, iPS cells equivalent to ESCs have been derived from human adult skin tissue.  Shinya Yamanaka and his colleagues at Kyoto University used the transcription factors Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4 in their experiments on cells from human faces.
