Definiton
Stem cells are primary, unspecialized cells, which are characterized with unlimited self-renewal capacity and differentiation into specialized descendant progenitor cells forming tissues and organs. The proper function of the body depends on tissue homeostasis, and the maintenance of homeostasis is related with stem cell pool , that balances the number of somatic cells in the body. In each organ of the body thoroughly appears new cells, which maturate and differentiate into organ-specific cells, and after fulfilling their specific biological function they undergo into programmed cell death called apoptosis. Stem cells which reside in a cellular niche of a given organ, receive signals from the environment of the damaged tissue, and starts repair process leading for tissue regeneration.
Stem Cell Types
- Komórki totipotencjalne – najbardziej pierwotne komórki, są to jedyne komórki w organizmie zdolne do różnicowania się do każdego typu embrionalnych komórek somatycznych i powstania całego organizmu. Powstają w wyniku zapłodnienia tworząc zygotę a następnie w dalszym procesie rozwojowym tworzą blastomery. Są zdolne do tworzenia łożyska, łączącego płód z organizmem matki.
- Komórki pluripotencjalne – są to komórki potomne totipotencjalnych komórek macierzystych i mogą dać początek komórkom trzech listków zarodkowych: endodermy, mezodermy i ektodermy. Komórki te są zdolne do organizowania się i tworzenia dowolnej tkanki w procesie embriogenezy (z wyjątkiem komórek łożyska). Wraz z rozwojem płodu i formowaniem się poszczególnych struktur tkankowych, komórki pluripotencjalne tracą swój pluripotentny charakter na rzecz tkankowo-specyficznego charakteru. Komórki pluripotencjalne można spotkać tylko podczas rozwoju embrionalnego, nie mogą jedynie przekształcić się powrotnie w komórki totipotencjalne.
- Komórki multipotencjalne– to komórki charakteryzujące się zdolnością do tworzenia tkanek w obrębie jednego z trzech listków zarodkowych
- Pierwszy listek zarodkowy (ektoderma) – tkanka nerwowa, tkanka nabłonkowa, przydatki skórne,
- Drugi listek zarodkowy (endoderma) – układ trawienny, układ oddechowy, układ endokrynny, układ moczowy, narządy zmysłów,
- Trzeci listek zarodkowy (mezoderma) – tkanka kostna, tkanka chrzęstna, mięśnie szkieletowe, mięśnie gładkie, mięsień sercowy, ścięgna, więzadła, tkanka tłuszczowa. Przykładem multipotencjalnych komórek trzeciego listka zarodkowego są mezenchymalne komórki macierzyste (ang. mesenchymal stem cells -MSC).Komórki multipotencjalne rezydują w niszach komórkowych a ich liczba zwykle maleje wraz z wiekiem i wraz ze zdolnością do samoodnowy organizmu.
- Komórki unipotencjalne– komórki wyspecjalizowane do różnicowania się w stronę zdefiniowanych komórek danej tkanki z zachowaną zdolnością do podziałów (w przeciwieństwie do komórek dojrzałych). Przykładem komórek unipotencjalnych są np. mioblasty różnicujące się w stronę miocytu - dojrzałej komórki mięśniowej, lub osteoblasty różnicujące się w stronę osteocytu – komórki tworzącej kość. Komórki unipotencjalne rezydują w tkankach i odpowiadają na sygnały związane z uszkodzeniem tkanki poprzez ich aktywację i następową regenerację tkanki.
- Totipotent stem cells – – they are the most primordial cells – the only type of cells capable to differentiate into all types of embryonic somatic cells and form entire human body. They arise as a result of fertilization forming zygote and then in further developmental process they create the blastomers. They are capable to give rise placenta connecting the embryo with the body of the mother.
- Pluripotent stem cells – these cells are descendants of totipotent stem cells and can give rise to cells of the three germ layers: endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. The cells are capable to organize and form any tissue (except placenta) in the process of embryogenesis. Along with fetal development and formation of individual tissue structures, the cells lose their pluripotent character in favor of tissue-specific character. The pluripotent cells can be found only during embryonic development and they are unable to go back into totipotent cells.
- Multipotent stem cells– the cells are characterized with ability to differentiate and form tissue from one out of three germ layers
- The first germ layer (ectoderm) – nerve tissue, epithelium, skin appendages,
- The second germ layer (endoderm) – digestive system, respiratory system, endocrine system, urinary tract, sensory organs,
- The third germ layer (mesoderm) – bones, cartilage, skeletal muscle, smooth muscles, heart muscle, tendons, ligaments, adipose tissue. The example of multipotent cells of third germ layer are Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSC).Multipotent cells reside in cellular niches and their number usually decreases with age and with the body's ability to renew itself.
- Unipotent stem cells– specialized cells capable to division (unlike mature cells), dedicated to differentiate into the cells of given definite tissue. The example of unipotent stem cells are myoblasts capable to differentiate and form myocytes and then myofibers of skeletal muscle. Another example are osteoblasts capable to differentiate into osteocytes and form bone tissue. The tissue resident unipotent cells respond to damage signals from local environment by their activation and starting the process of tissue regeneration.
