The document discusses hematopoiesis, the production and development of blood cells. It begins in the fetal liver and spleen and later continues in the bone marrow. There are two types of hematopoiesis - medullary, which occurs in the bone marrow, and extramedullary, which can occur in other tissues like the liver and spleen. The process is regulated by hematopoietic growth factors and involves stem cell differentiation down myeloid or lymphoid lineages to produce the various mature blood cell types.

3. Hemo: Referring to blood cells
Poiesis: “The development or production of”
The word Hematopoiesis refers to the production &
development of all the blood cells:
◦ Erythrocytes: Erythropoiesis
◦ Leucocytes: Leucopoiesis
◦ Thrombocytes: Thrombopoiesis.
Begins in the 20th week of life in the fetal liver &
spleen, continues in the bone marrow till young
adulthood & beyond!
4. Medullary
◦ Origin of blood cells and sequential sites of normal
blood production within the bone marrow
Extramedullary
◦ Blood cell production in hematopoietic tissue
other than bone marrow
Liver
Spleen
◦ Compensatory mechanism to provide blood cells
in times of need
5. AGE SITE
Fetus: 0-2 months Yolk sac
2-7 months Liver, spleen
5-9 months Bone marrow
Infants Bone marrow, practically all bones
Adults Vertebrae, ribs, sternum, sacrum and
pelvis, proximal ends of femur
9. Glycoprotein hormones regulate proliferation
& differentiation of HPC & function of mature
blood cells.
Biological effects of HGF mediated through
specific receptors on target cells.
Act:
◦ Locally at the site where they are produce by
cell-cell contact.
◦ Circulate in plasma
10. Major sources (except erythropoietin):
◦ T-lymphocytes
◦ Monocytes (& macrophages)
◦ Stromal cells
Erythropoietin 90% synthesized in kidney
Thrombopoietin largely made in liver
Leukopoiesis also stimulates by endotoxin
11. Synthesized by peritubular cells of kidney in
response to hypoxemia
Present in minute amounts in urine
Liver secretes 10% of endogenous
erythropoietin.
Responsible for low level erythroid activity.
Half life of 6-9 hrs. in anemic patient
12. 1. Impaired O2 delivery to the kidney resulting
to decreased red cell mass
2. Impaired O2 loading of the hemoglobin
molecule
3. Impaired blood flow to the kidney
13. It is a glycoprotein hormone produced
mainly by liver and kidney that regulates
the production of platelets in bone
marrow.
It stimulates the production and
differentiation of Megakaryocytes
14. 3. GM-CSF:
Produced by fibroblasts, stromal
cells,T.lymphocytes and endothelial cells.
Stimulate progenitors for granulocytes,
monocytes and erythrocytes
15. 4. G-CSF:
LMW glycoprotein
Stimulates proliferation and maturation of
granulocyte precursors.
Produced by stromal cells, monocytes,
macrophages, and endothelial cells.
16. 5.M-CSF:
Secreted by stromal cells, macrophages and
fibroblasts.
Heavily glycosylated glycoprotein
Potent stimulator of macrophage function
and activation as it increases the expression
of MHC.II antigen on macrophages.
18. Binding of GF to its receptor activates JAKs
then phosphorylate STATs which translocate to the
nucleus and activate transcription of specific genes
20. Homeostasis:
- cell production ↔ cell destruction
Regulated process of physiological cell death
triggered to activate intracellular proteins
lead to cell death.
Important proses for maintaining tissue
homeostasis in hematopoiesis & lymphocytes
development
21. Apoptosis results from the action of
intracellular cysteine proteases called
CASPASES which are activated following
cleavage and lead to endonuclease digestion of
DNA and disintegration of the cell skeleton.
22. There are two major pathways by which
CASPASES can be activated:
1. By signaling through membrane proteins such as
Fas or TNF receptor via their intracellular death
domain.
2. Via the release of cytochrome c from
mitochondria. Cytochrome c
binds to APAF‐1 which then activates caspases.
24. Apoptosis have the Following steps:
1) Cell shrinkage
2) Organelle reduction
3) Mitochondrial leakage
4) Chromatin condensation
5) Nuclear fragmentation
6) Membrane blebbing & changes
26. Differentiate into multiple cell lines.
Proliferation is under influence of hematopoietic
growth factors present in reticuloendothelial
system.
Morphologically they resemble large immature
lymphocytes
Exact phenotype unkown immunological testing:
CD34+, CD38-
1 SC capable of producing + 106 mature blood cells
after 20 cell divisions.
27. Pluripotent Stem cells undergo several divisions and
become committed unipotent cells(CFU) to either
myeloid or lymphoid lineage
Committed stem cells lose self-renewal capability but
retain the potential to differentiate
They acquire distinguishing cell surface receptors
and respond to specific signals and growth factors
28. Myeloid lineage stem cells mature in bone
marrow to become :
Erythrocytes/red blood cells
Granulocytes including segmented neutrophils,
eosinophils, and basophils
Monocytes/macrophages
Platelets/thrombocytes
29. Lymphoid lineage stem cells will become either a pre-
Bcell or a prothymocyte(pre-Tcell) and will travel to
the Thymus and lymph nodes for further maturation
into lymphocytes
30. Myeloid and lymphoid cells are progenitor cells.
Both cell types originate from hematopoietic
stem cells.
Both cell types are produced in bone marrows.
Both cell types produce different types of
daughter cells.
31. LymphoidMyeloid
Lymphoid cells are
daughter cells of
hematopoietic stem cells
which produce
lymphocytes.
Myeloid cells are daughter cells
of hematopoietic stem cells which
give rise to several other types of
blood cells.
Definition
T cells, B cells, and
natural killer cells (NK).
Monocytes, macrophages,
neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils,
erythrocytes, dendritic cells,
megakaryocyte, and platelets.
Daughter
cells
32. Changes in cytoplasm
Changes in nucleus
Reduction in cell size
Gradual transformation
Changes are simultaneous and parallel
33. Loss of basophilia:
◦ Romanowsky staining (Giemsa)
◦ The more basophilic cytoplasma, the more immature cell
Cytoplasmic granules in granulocytes
◦ Azurophil (primary granules)
◦ Specific (secondary granules):
Eosinophilic
Basophilic
Neutrophilic
34. Elaboration of hemoglobin: blue cytoplasm in
pronormoblast and red cytoplasm in
erythrocyte in pronormoblast
35. Nuclear Maturation:
1. Shape
◦ Round or oval in blasts
◦ Striking changes in granulocytes
2. Structure delicate netlike or sponge like
◦ chromatin in blasts
◦ Chromatin strands become more coarse and clumped as the
cells matures
◦ Reduction in the number of nucleoli
36. A feature of all cells, except in the
megakaryocytic series.
N/C ratio is high in young cells and low in
mature cells.
37. Asynchronous maturation of cytoplasma and
nucleus atypical cells.
Granulocytes:
- A granular
- Persistent primary granules
- Abnormal inclusions
- Large nucleus
- Hypersegmentation/hyposegmentation
Erythrocytes:
- persistent basophilia
