  • BSMMU

4
Objectives
  • Define stem cell
  • Outline brief history of stem cell research

    potential

5
Objectives (contd)
  • Outline the sources of stem cell
  • Explain the steps of stem cell therapy
  • Discuss the health problems that might be treated
    by stem cells

6
Objectives (Contd)
  • Debate for and against stem cell research
  • Mention the responsibilities regarding stem cell
    issues

7
Stem Cells Definition
  • - unspecialized
  • - self renewal
  • can be induced to form specific cell types

8
Why self-renew AND differentiate?
1 stem cell
4 specialized cells
1 stem cell
Differentiation replaces dead or damaged cells
throught the life
Self renewal - maintains the stem cell pool
9
Properties of stem cell.
Clonogenic, a single ES cell gives rise to a
colony of genetically identical cells, which
have the same properties as the original
cell Expresses the transcription factor
Oct-4 Can be induced to continue proliferating or
to differentiate Lacks the G1 checkpoint in the
cell cycle ES cells spend most of their life
cycle in S phase Dont show X inactivation
10
Stem Cell Markers c-Kit Oct4 (ATGCAAAT) POU
Family Protein CD34 CD38 Cd44 CD133 Nestin
11
SEPARATION OF STEM CELL
Cells in suspension are tagged with fluorescent
markers specific for undifferentiated stem cell
Stem cell
FLUROSCENT ACTIVATED CELL SORTING
Labeled cells are sent under pressure through a
small nozzle and pass through an electric field  
Laser beam passes through one cell  
A cell generates a negative charge if it
fluoresces and a positive charge if it does not.
12
History of Stem Cell Research
13
History of Stem Cell Research
  • In 1998, James Thomson isolated stem cells from
    the inner cell mass of the early embryo.
  • In 1998, John Gearhart derived human embryonic
    germ cells from fetal gonadal tissue (primordial
    germ cells).

14
History of Stem Cell Research (Contd)
  • 1999 - First Successful human transplant of
    insulin-making cells from cadavers
  • 2001 - President Bush restricted federal funding
    for embryonic stem-cell research

15
History of Stem Cell Research (Contd)
  • 2004 - Harvard researchers grow stem cells from
    embryos using private funding.
  • Asia, Japan, South Korea and Singapore is moving
    forwards on stem cell research.

16
Stem Cell Research Worldwide
17
Global status
  • Ongoing debate regarding use of embryos
  • United Nations proposal for a global policy to
    ban reproductive cloning only

18
Debate in US
  • Federal funding available for research using the
    Bush lines only
  • ES cell lines from 8/9/01
  • Disadvantage of Bush stem cell lines
  • may have mutations or infections
  • Private companies continue to pursue stem cell
    research
  • therapeutic cloniing mainly

19
Stem cell research in other countries
  • Great Britain
  • Therapeutic cloning , use of excess embryos
    creation of embryos allowed
  • France
  • Reproductive and therapeutic cloning banned
  • Germany
  • Use of excess embryos and creation of embryos
    banned

20
  • Types of Stem Cells
  • based on potential

21
Types of Stem Cells based on potential
Stem cell type Description Examples
Totipotent Each cell can develop into a new individual Cells from early (1-3 days) embryos
Pluripotent Cells can form any (over 200) cell types Some cells of blastocyst (5 to 14 days)
Multipotent Cells differentiated, but can form a number of other tissues Fetal tissue, cord blood, and adult stem cells
22
Pluripotent
Multi- potent
Fully mature
23
Pluripotent Stem Cells more potential to become
any type of cell
24
Multipotent stem cells
  • Multipotent stem cells limited in what the
    cells can become

25
Sources of Stem Cell
26
Sources of Stem Cell
  • Embryonic stem (ES) cells
  • Tissue (Adult) stem cells
  • Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells)
  • Somatic cell nuclear transfer (therapeutic
    cloning)

27
Sources of stem cells
tissue stem cells fetus, baby and throughout life
embryonic stem cells blastocyst - a very early
embryo
28
Embryonic stem (ES) cells
29
Embryonic stem (ES) cells

PLURIPOTENT
30
Tissue stem cells
skin
muscles
31
Tissue stem cells
blood stem cell
differentiation
found in bone marrow
only specialized types of blood cell red blood
cells, white blood cells, platelets
MULTIPOTENT
32
Induced pluripotent stem cell

Advantage no need for embryos!
33
Induced pluripotent stem cell (Contd)
genetic reprogramming
pluripotent stem cell
cell from the body (skin)
34
  • Somatic cell nuclear transfer
  • A nucleus from an adult donor cell is inserted
    into a recipient egg cell from which the nucleus
    has been removed
  • The resulting cell is then stimulated to divide
    as a zygote later forming embryo genetically
    identical to the adult donor cell

35
Somatic cell nuclear transfer
36
  • Goals of therapeutic cloning
  • Use embryo as source for ES cells
  • Use ES cells to generate an organ with genetic
    markers identical to the patient
  • Correct genetic error in ESC in blastula stage

37

38
Pitfalls of therapeutic cloning
  • Large number of eggs needed for SCNT
  • To harvest large number of eggs
  • excessive hormone treatment may induce high rate
    of ovulation
  • will carry species-specific mitochondrial genes
  • Mixing species is reason for concern!

39
Cloning
There are two VERY different types of cloning
40
Reproductive cloning
41
Molecular cloning
42
Steps of Stem Cell Therapy
43
Steps of Stem Cell Therapy
  • Defining the problem
  • Finding The Right Type of Stem Cell
  • Match The Stem Cell With The Recipient
  • Put the stem cells in the right place
  • Make The Transplanted Stem Cells Perform

44
Steps of Stem Cell Therapy
  • Define the problem
  • Researchers want to replace dead dopamine
    neurons with healthy ones

45
Steps of Stem Cell Therapy
  • Finding The Right Type of Stem Cell
  • Blastocyst stem cells?
  • At the time, unable to differentiate into
    neurons
  • Fetal stem cells?, Excellent candidates, ethical
    problems
  • Adult stem cells?, Hard to get, too little known

46
Steps of Stem Cell Therapy (contd.)
  • Match The Stem Cell With The Recipient
  • Needs a good immunonlogical match.

47
Steps of Stem Cell Therapy (contd.)
  • Put the stem cells in the right place
  • Surgical procedure usually required.
  • Small holes drilled in the skull, cells injected
    with a needle.

48
Steps of Stem Cell Therapy (contd.)
  • Make The Transplanted Stem Cells Perform
  • There was no guarantee how the transplanted
    cells would behave. If they did not respond to
    the proper signals from their environment, they
    might have malfunctioned or died.

49
Cell Culture Techniques for ESC
  • Isolate transfer of inner cell mass into
    plastic culture dish that contains culture medium
  • Cells divide and spread
  • Inner surface of culture dish is typically coated
    with mouse embryonic skin cells that have been
    treated so they will not divide

50
  • This coating is called feeder layer
  • provide ES cells with a sticky surface for
    attachment and release nutrients
  • There are methods for growing embryonic stem
    cells without mouse feeder cells
  • ES cells are removed gently and plated into
    several different culture plates

54
Pro-choice people
  • Utilitarianism- destruction of smaller group
    for the sake of a larger group is justifiable.
  • lead to significant information about the cause,
    new treatment possibilities, and potential cure
    for many diseases.

55
AFTER
BEFORE
56
Opinions against stem cell research
  • Stem cells are taken from a human blastocyst,
    which is then destroyed. This amounts to
    murder.
  • There is a risk of commercial exploitation of
    the human participants in ESCR.
