STEM CELLS AND THEIR NICHES
Stem cells involves in physiologic
systems that express the outcome of developmental events and organismal stress,
as these cells play a fundamental role of tissue maintenance and repair, the
received signals will play a critical role in the integrity of the organism. Mostly
focused is shown on stem cell identification and the molecular pathways involved
in their regulation. Achievement of physiologically responsive stem cell
functions is done by these pathways. The following information will help
in understanding the stem cells in the context of their microenvironment
regarding the relation between stem cell niche dysfunction, carcinogenesis and
aging.
The stem cells both reside and receive stimuli that determine their fate
as stem cell niche is the in vivo microenvironment. Neither niche should not be
considered simply a physical location for stem cells, nor as the place where
extrinsic signals interact and integrate to influence stem cell behaviour. Stimuli
includes cell-to-cell and cell-matrix interactions and signals (molecules) that
activate and/or repress genes and transcription programs. Stem cells are
maintained in a dormant state, because of the direct consequence of this interaction
which leads to induced self-renewal or commit to a more differentiated state.
Hypothesis of a specialized stem cell microenvironment was first
postulated in 1978 by Schoefield. He revealed that niches have a defined
anatomical location and removal of stem cells from their niche results in differentiation.
Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis
elegans gonads invertebrate
model was first used in the demonstration and characterization of niche
components. Examination of these systems, characterized in less
complex animals, has led to pivotal insights into understanding the more
complex mammalian niche architecture. It shows that the fundamental
anatomical components and molecular pathways of the niche environment are
highly conserved among species, although their respective roles within the
niche may show distinct variations. Hence, it was proved that it is possible to
identify common niche components that are associated with similar functions.
