Thymus lineage commitment: a single switch.
In this issue of Immunity, He et al. (2008) establish the logic and circuitry that determine CD4-CD8 lineage specification. It all comes down to an eighty base pair silencer switch.
متن کاملSelection and lineage specification in the thymus: commitment 4-stalled.
How CD4(+)CD8(+) thymocytes commit to CD4 helper versus CD8 cytotoxic lineages is a central unresolved question in developmental immunology. In this issue, show that engineering CD4 for shutoff immediately after positive selection misdirects cells to the cytotoxic lineage. The result highlights the distinction between positive selection and lineage commitment and provides new impetus for reexam...
متن کاملLineage Switch in Childhood Leukemia: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Acute leukemia which is the most common cancer in children is a heterogeneous group of clonal malignancies. The conversion of the leukemic cell lineage during the course of the disease or later is termed lineage switch. It has been rarely reported in the literature. In leukemia lineage switch, conversions from lymphoblastic leukemia to myeloid leukemia or vice versa are reported. Herein, we rep...
متن کاملSingle-molecule analysis of myocyte differentiation reveals bimodal lineage commitment.
Cell differentiation is the foundation for tissue development and regeneration, disease modeling, and cell-based therapies. Although the differentiation of cell populations has been extensively studied in many systems, much less is known about the distribution of decision making of single cells within these populations. To characterize the differentiation of single skeletal muscle cells, we use...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of a Transcriptional Switch Underlying B-Lymphocyte Lineage Commitment of Hematopoietic Multipotent Cells
Despite progresses in identifying the cellular mechanisms at the basis of the differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, little is known about the regulatory circuitry at the basis of lineage commitment of hematopoietic multipotent progenitors. To address this issue, we propose a computational approach to give further insights in the comprehension of this genetic mechanism. Differe...
