Sources and types of stem cells: different origins and developmental spectra • ES: • Embryonic stem cells from theICM (inner cell mass) • Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) →Embryonic Germ (EG) cells • iPS:non-embryonic somatic cells developed by the introduction of specific key transcription factors: Oct4, Sox2, c-myc, Klf4 • MSC: mesenchymal stem cells present in bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluid, placenta, dental pulp, tendons, synovial membrane and skeletal muscle, capable of self-renewal and differentiation in vitro into a variety of cells of the mesenchymal lineages such asosteoblasts,chondrocytes, adipocytes and myoblasts

Stem cell sources in the mouse embryo • Preimplantation embryo: inner cell mass (ICM) of the blastocyst (early blastocyst stage). • Late blastocyst stage: formation of epiblast • Postimplantation embryo: formation of primitiveectoderm with restricted pluripotency→ the germ cell lineage and somatic lineages of the embryo.
Characteristics of ES cells • Derivation from the preimplantation or periimplantation embryo • Prolonged undifferentiated proliferation, • Stable developmental potential to form derivatives of all three embryonic germ layers even after prolonged culture • EC cells: teratocarcinoma-derived pluripotentembryonal carcinoma cells generating cells of all three germ layers Cartilage (mesodermal) Epidermis (ectodermal) Intestinalglands (endodermal)

Characteristics of CD-defined antigens for ES cells • CD34:HSC/endothelial shared antigen expressed hemopoietic stem cells/progenitors • CD133:Five transmembrane domain cell-surface glycoprotein, expressed by neural stem cells
Main regulatory mechanisms of stem cells – external and internal effects • External • Interactions with the matrix proteins, soluble factors and othercell types in stem cell niches, direct interactions with ECM proteins, complex signaling feedback from adjacent ESC niche cells (stromal/differentiated). • Internal • TF network regulating pluripotency or differentiation

Stem cell environment – examples for stem cell niche • Germanium region of the ovary and the apex of the testis (germ-line stem cell and somatic stem cell) • Subventricular zone in the brain (neural stem cell) • Bulge of hair follicle (epithelial stem cell) • Crypt of intestinal villi (endodermal stem cell) • Bone marrow (hemopoietic stem cell)

Antagonistic regulatory circuits between differentiation and pluripotency • ESC/iPS regulation – hierarchic transcription factors • Wnt signaling • Epigenetic regulators • RNA binding • Telomere associated effectors • Tumor suppression • Cell cycle regulation

TF regulation forself-renewal/differentiation • Oct3/4, Nanog, Sox2, Stat3: maintenance of proliferation • Cdx2: Inhibitory cross-interaction with Oct3/4

Reprogramming: Lineage shift in differentiated cells • Reprogramming of B-cell lineage into macrophages – role of C/EBPa • Induction of neuronal commitment from fibroblasts – Ascl1, Brn2 and Mytl1
Sequential maturation and regeneration of pluripotency Ectoderm progenitor Pluripotent cell Neuronal progenitor Pluripotent cell Mature neuron Endoderm Mesoderm Ectoderm Pluripotent cell
Differentiation-associated commitment and reversibility • Differentiationis coupled with • commitment and loss of pluripotency/transdifferentiation capacity BETWEEN lineages • Requirement for continuous stimulation for promoting specification WITHIN a lineage. • Reversal: Introduction of iPS-associated multilineage differentiation is associated with LOWERING of pleiotropic induction requirement and ELEVATION of differentiation signal threshold
Summary • Depending on their origin and developmental spectra, stem cells are quite heterogeneous, where their homeostasis is determined by their (a) endogenous programming with various levels of regulating gene expression and (b) external factors, including cytokines and adhesion proteins binding to extacellular matrix an other cell comprising the stem cell niche. • Stem cell commitment and differentiationare not irreversible, as differentiated cell can be modulated to regain multipotency.
