Common myeloid progenitors or CMPs undergo multiple cell divisions before differentiating into granulocytes or phagocytes .
In response to an allergy or an infection, endothelial cells and fibroblasts release inflammatory cytokines called colony-stimulating factors or CSFs into the bloodstream.
At least four different types of CSFs participate in distinct combinations to help the progenitors divide and commit to specific cell types.
For example, during parasitic infection, interleukin 3 and GM CSF help CMPs differentiate into eosinophils that digest the parasite.
In contrast, granulocyte-CSF and macrophage-CSF released in response to a bacterial infection produce neutrophils and monocytes. Monocytes mature into macrophages, which along with neutrophils, phagocytose the invading bacteria.
Once the infection is cleared and CSF concentration drops, neutrophils die by apoptosis within a few days, while the macrophages continue to survive for months, circulating in the blood.

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

Common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) are oligopotent cells that can differentiate into granulocytes and macrophages. Granulocytes and macrophages are essential for protecting the body against bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. They migrate from the bone marrow into the circulating blood to reach specific tissue sites where they differentiate and help in immune surveillance. However, they survive only for a few days and must be continuously made available to the organism to maintain a robust immune system. In addition, during an injury or infection, many of these immune cells are lost in the action of immune defense. The adjoining endothelial cells of injured tissues, existing immune cells, and fibroblasts sense this crisis and release colony-stimulating factors or CSFs.

Recombinant G-CSF and GM-CSF injections are often administered as adjunct therapy to the cancer patient. They are subcutaneously injected to help replenish the lost immune cells and overcome side effects such as neutropenia (low level of neutrophils in the blood) and low white blood cell count, which are standard post chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

KEY TERMS AND CONCEPTS

csf signals that guide myeloid cells

Common myeloid progenitors are blood-forming cells in the bone marrow that can become granulocytes or macrophages. These immune cells protect the body against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. They leave the bone marrow, travel in the blood, and move into tissues where they help with immune surveillance.

These cells do not last long. They survive for only a few days, so the body must keep making them to maintain a strong immune system. During injury or infection, many immune cells are used up as they fight the threat.

In injured tissue, endothelial cells, existing immune cells, and fibroblasts detect the problem and release colony-stimulating factors, or CSFs. These signals have short half-lives of only a few hours. Once they bind to progenitor cells, they influence lineage commitment and help decide whether the cells become granulocytes or macrophages.

Four CSFs are involved in this process. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or GM-CSF, and interleukin-3, or IL-3, are multipotential CSFs. They can trigger eosinophil production and help the body fight parasitic or allergic reactions. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, or G-CSF, pushes progenitors toward granulocytes, while macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or M-CSF, starts macrophage production.

Neutrophils and macrophages are phagocytic cells. They attack microbes and digest them through phagocytosis. In cancer care, recombinant G-CSF and GM-CSF are often given as adjunct therapy by subcutaneous injection to replace lost immune cells and ease side effects such as neutropenia and a low white blood cell count after chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

overview of the vascular system

Blood and Lymphatic Vessel Layers

The vascular system includes blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. It forms a large network of arteries, capillaries, and veins. In the body, this system is divided into the blood system and the lymphatic system. Blood vessels have three main histological layers. These layers are the tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia. The tunica intima is the inner layer. It has a single layer of endothelial cells attached to the basal lamina. Beneath that is a connective tissue layer and an...

mechanism of angiogenesis

How New Blood Vessels Grow

How new blood vessels grow through angiogenesis is a key part of early development and tissue repair. Blood vessel formation begins around day 7 of embryonic development. In the extraembryonic yolk sac, mesodermal precursor cells called hemangioblasts multiply and become angioblasts. Angioblasts express vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, or VEGFR2. This receptor binds VEGF-A, a proangiogenic factor that helps guide vessel formation. VEGF signaling pushes angioblasts to form a blood...

Hypoxia Triggers Angiogenesis Signaling

Hypoxia, or low oxygen, can trigger angiogenesis signaling in tissues that need more blood supply. Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues all use more oxygen than usual. As oxygen levels fall, cells switch on a pathway that helps form new blood vessels. A key oxygen sensor in this pathway is hypoxia-inducible factor 1, or HIF1. HIF1 has two parts, an alpha subunit and a beta subunit. Under normal oxygen conditions, HIF1 beta is in the nucleus, while HIF1 alpha stays in the...

hematopoiesis

Blood Cell Formation and Stem Cell Migration

Blood cell formation, or hematopoiesis, begins early in development. Around the seventh day of embryogenesis, the primitive wave starts in the extraembryonic yolk sac. In this early stage, a common precursor called a hemangioblast gives rise to erythroid cells and endothelial cells. The erythroid cells help carry oxygen and support the fast growth of the embryo. Hemangioblasts later develop into hematopoietic stem cells, or HSCs. These stem cells are multipotent, which means they can produce...

multipotency of hematopoietic stem cells

HSC Quiescence and Blood Cell Renewal

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) help the body make blood and immune cells. These stem cells are multipotent, which means they can develop into many cell types in the blood system. They usually stay in a quiescent, or resting, state until an outside signal starts them moving toward differentiation. HSCs are grouped into two main populations: long-term repopulating cells (LTRCs) and short-term repopulating cells (STRCs). These groups differ in surface markers, or receptors on the cell surface,...

lineage commitment

Blood Stem Cell Fate Decisions

Blood stem cell fate decisions guide how hematopoietic stem cells become specific blood and immune cells. During commitment, stem cells lose the ability to form all cell types and change irreversibly into a more limited fate. Multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, or HSCs, first differentiate into multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cells, or HPCs. These HPCs express many lineage-specific cytokine receptors. Each receptor binds a specific cytokine, turns on a distinct signaling pathway, and...

erythropoiesis

How Red Blood Cells Are Replenished

Red blood cells, or RBCs, carry oxygen to body tissues and must be replaced after about 120 days. The body keeps this supply steady through erythropoiesis, the process of making new red blood cells. When oxygen levels drop after blood loss or injury, this process increases to restore oxygen delivery. Problems in erythropoiesis can lead to anemia, thalassemia, or polycythemia. Erythropoietin, also called Epo, starts this process. Before birth, the fetal liver makes Epo. After birth,...

regulation of hematopoietic stem cells

How HSC Signals Control Blood Cell Supply

Hematopoietic stem cells, or HSCs, make blood and immune cells through hematopoiesis. These cells are replaced often because many have short life spans. They are also used up during immune surveillance, injury, or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues in the body. Hematopoiesis must stay tightly controlled. If too many blood or immune cells are made, the cells can become cancerous or trigger autoimmune responses. Regulation helps HSCs stay quiescent, which means...
