  1. Lecture 1 Hematopoiesis, AbdulkarimAldosari

  2. Objectives • Define hematopoiesis • Describe the origin of hematopoieisis • Define erythropoiesis • List proper cell maturation of the erythrocytic series • Identify three areas of RBC metabolism crucial for normal erythrocyte survival and function • Describe RBC membrane biochemical structure and the consequences of structural membrane defects • Describe Hemoglobin structure, function and synthesis • RBC metabolic pathways

  3. Hematopoiesis • Blood cell formation – production and development • Occurs bone marrow, liver, spleen, lymph nodes, thymus • Bone marrow – sole site of effective hematopoiesis in normal adults • 6 billion cells/kg of body weight per day • 2.5 billion red cells • 2.5 billion platelets • 1.0 billion white cells • Rate adjusted to need, vary from nearly zero to many times the normal • Constant turnover of cells

  4. Origin of Hematopoiesis • Yolk sac > fetal liver/spleen > BM • Primitive erythroblast > migrate to liver (6wks) – includes other myeloid and lymphoid cells. • At birth the bone cavities are the only site of hematopoietic activity - Starts at 7 months Fig 1-16, pg. 10

  5. Origin of Hematopoiesis

  6. Origin of Hematopoiesis • Shaft of long bones – until 4 yrs. • Sternum, ribs, pelvis, vertebrae, skull – at 18-20 yrs. • Other bones have mostly yellow marrow (fat) • At 40 yrs – equal amount of yellow and red marrow

  7. Origin of Hematopoiesis • Takes place in the entire medullary space during infancy and early childhood • Later – occurs in the extravascular part of red marrow • Squeeze through the endothelial lining cells that separates the extravascular marrow from the intravascular compartment- venous sinus • Migrating cells enter the peripheral blood

  8. Hematopoiesis • Steady state of hematopoiesis i.e. production = removal • During increased demand for blood cells • strenuous exercise, high altitudes, smokers • To compensate - Spleen, liver and other tissues can start active hematopoiesis = Extramedullary hematopoiesis • Two pools of cells participate in hematopoietic activity: • Stem cell pool • Bone marrow pool

  9. Hematopoiesis Hematopoietic stem cell pool • Pluripotential - multipotential stem cells (MSCs) • morphologically identical • Continuous self-renewal • Unipotential -committed progenitor cells • Restricted to single cell line • No self-renewal • Lymphoid or myeloid Fig 1-15, pg. 9

  11. Hematopoiesis Bone marrow pool • proliferating and maturing cells - through the action of cytokines (growth factors) – CSF and IL progenitor cells divide and differentiate • Stored cells for later release to peripheral blood • Cells released to peripheral blood • Storage – WBCS , platelets • Functional – WBCs, platelets, RBCs • Fig 1-17, pg. 10
