The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

AU - Weiss, Joseph B.. AU - Wong, Melissa H.. PY - 2010/1. Y1 - 2010/1. N2 - Asymmetric stem cell division has emerged as a major regulatory mechanism for physiologic control of stem cell numbers. Reinvigoration of the cancer stem cell theory suggests that tumorigenesis may be regulated by maintaining the balance between asymmetric and symmetric cell division. Therefore, mutations affecting this balance could result in aberrant expansion of stem cells. Although a number of molecules have been implicated in regulation of asymmetric stem cell division, here, we highlight known tumor suppressors with established roles in this process. While a subset of these tumor suppressors were originally defined in developmental contexts, recent investigations reveal they are also lost or mutated in human cancers. ...
The Drosophila male germ line serves as a model system for investigating how stem cells are regulated in the context of their normal microenvironment, or niche. Yamashita et al. (see the Perspective by Wallenfang and Matunis) used this system to investigate the intracellular mechanisms that lead to the reliably asymmetric outcome of stem cell divisions to produce a stem cell and a cell that is ready to differentiate further (in this case, a gonialblast). The mitotic spindle in dividing germline stem cells orients with respect to the support-cell niche throughout their cell cycle. This process requires centrosome function and homologs of the human tumor suppressor gene adenomatous polyposis coli (APC). Y. M. Yamashita, D. L. Jones, M. T.

An asymmetric cell division produces two daughter cells with different cellular fates. This is in contrast to symmetric cell divisions which give rise to daughter cells of equivalent fates. Notably, stem cells divide asymmetrically to give rise to two distinct daughter cells: one copy of the original stem cell as well as a second daughter programmed to differentiate into a non-stem cell fate. (In times of growth or regeneration, stem cells can also divide symmetrically, to produce two identical copies of the original cell.) In principle, there are two mechanisms by which distinct properties may be conferred on the daughters of a dividing cell. In one, the daughter cells are initially equivalent but a difference is induced by signaling between the cells, from surrounding cells, or from the precursor cell. This mechanism is known as extrinsic asymmetric cell division. In the second mechanism, the prospective daughter cells are inherently different at the time of division of the mother cell. ...
TY - CHAP. T1 - Cerebral cortex. T2 - Symmetric vs: asymmetric cell division. AU - Fishell, G.. AU - Hanashima, C.. PY - 2009/1/1. Y1 - 2009/1/1. N2 - The six distinct laminae within the mammalian cerebral cortex contain neurons that exhibit a wide variety of specific physiological properties and synaptic connections. This diversity emerges from a restricted progenitor pool within the embryonic cortical ventricular zone. Individual cortical progenitors produce multiple subtypes over a prolonged period during corticogenesis. This article describes classical studies that suggest that neurogenesis in the cerebral cortex is dependent on asymmetric divisions, where one daughter remains in a progenitor state while the other exits to become a mature neuron. The present understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating both asymmetric cell division and the sequential production of different neuronal subtypes during development is reviewed. However, as yet only a subset of the factors controlling each ...
en] Asymmetric stem cell division is thought to require precise orientation of the mitotic spindle. However, a recent study in Cell (Yingling et al., 2008) analyzes the role of LIS1 in the developing mouse brain and shows that spindle orientation is more important during early, symmetric progenitor cell divisions than for later asymmetric divisions ...
African trypanosomes go through at least five developmental stages during their life cycle. The different cellular forms are classified using morphology, including the order of the nucleus, flagellum and kinetoplast along the anterior-posterior axis of the cell, the predominant cell surface molecules and the location within the host. Here, an asymmetrical cell division cycle that is an integral part of the Trypanosoma brucei life cycle has been characterised in further detail through the use of cell cycle stage specific markers. The cell cycle leading to the asymmetric division includes an exquisitely synchronised mitosis and exchange in relative location of organelles along the anterior-posterior axis of the cell. These events are coupled to a change in cell surface architecture. During the asymmetric division, the behaviour of the new flagellum is consistent with a role in determining the location of the plane of cell division, a function previously characterised in procyclic cells. Thus, the

Haematopoietic stem cells self-renew and differentiate into all blood lineages throughout life, and can repair damaged blood systems upon transplantation. Asymmetric cell division has previously been suspected to be a regulator of haematopoietic-stem-cell fate, but its existence has not directly been shown1. In asymmetric cell division, asymmetric fates of future daughter cells are prospectively determined by a mechanism that is linked to mitosis. This can be mediated by asymmetric inheritance of cell-extrinsic niche signals by, for example, orienting the divisional plane, or by the asymmetric inheritance of cell-intrinsic fate determinants. Observations of asymmetric inheritance or of asymmetric daughter-cell fates alone are not sufficient to demonstrate asymmetric cell division2. In both cases, sister-cell fates could be controlled by mechanisms that are independent of division. Here we demonstrate that the cellular degradative machinery-including lysosomes, autophagosomes, mitophagosomes and the
Upon engagement in an immune response, a naive T lymphocyte undergoes a program of rapid proliferation and many of its cellular progeny undergo terminal effector differentiation. After an immune response has ended, some antigen-specific daughter cells remain as long-lived replicas of the useful clone, so-called memory cells, which form the basis for successful vaccination. Using lymphocytes as a model system, we have provided evidence that asymmetric cell division may be a way for many mobile, non-polarized cells to generate cell fate diversity among their progeny. We are using static and time-lapsed imaging, genetic, and biochemical methods to better understand the nature and extent of asymmetric cell division in multi-celled beings. It is predicted that this will have immediate relevance for the way in which blood stem cells and metastatic cancer stem cells can generate diverse progeny despite their lack of obvious polarity. Studies of lymphocyte differentiation during the immune response ...
Why might DN3a cells undergo ACD? ACD at the β-selection checkpoint might regulate self-renewal and expansion at the level of the individual cell, mitigate the high risk of leukemia caused by combining gene rearrangement with subsequent expansion, and/or enable abrupt transitions in differentiation state and growth signal dependencies (Rothenberg, 2014). These possible roles are compatible with the role of the Scribble complex and ACD in other cell types (Martin-Belmonte and Perez-Moreno, 2012), where a switch between ACD and SCD can control subsequent differentiation and tumorigenesis (Morin and Bellaïche, 2011). Therefore, the extent of ACD could mediate control of thymocyte fate determination by stromal interactions and the strength of Notch and CXCR4 signaling. In addition, a switch from ACD to SCD after the β-selection checkpoint might enable a limited expansion of individual clones that are already destined for terminal differentiation.. We propose two nonmutually exclusive cellular ...

Follow the bouncing nucleus. The Bergmann lab makes Arabidopsis into fluorescent art under the microscope. Bright green nuclei wiggle within purple cell membranes. Watch closely, like Muroyama did, and you would see the usual process for asymmetric cell division: when an Arabidopsis stem cell first divides, the nucleus moves to one side. That way, the resulting daughter cells will be different sizes and will face different neighbors. Eventually, these two cells are destined to play different roles in the intricate final pattern of the leaf.. But continue watching and the nucleus of one daughter cell moves again, hurrying to the opposite side of the cell where it will undergo a second asymmetric split.. When Andrew showed me the videos of the cells, it was so bizarre, said Bergmann, who is a professor of biology in the School of Humanities and Sciences and senior author of the paper. I thought, Why on Earth would a nucleus behave that way? The first move makes sense but the second, in the ...

Research in the department explores a wide variety of basic aspects of cell function and cell communication particularly in the context of plant or animal development, neurobiology, immunology, and the cancer process.. Projects range from studies on endocytic processing of tumor antigens for presentation on the surfaces of cells of the immune system to develop tumor immunity to studies on the mechanism of asymmetric cell division to generate cell type diversity during development and studies identifying molecules involved in regulating cell traction to facilitate cell migration during embryogenesis. Signal transduction pathways involved in processes as diverse as photoreception, directing developmental decision making in forming the vulva organ of the nematode worm and pheromone signaling in the olfactory system are also areas of active research in the department. These problems are approached using genetics, biochemistry, electrophysiology, and microscopy.. ...
My first problem,says Zacha, was getting people to believe in their town again. It was not easy.. IM LOOKING FOR HEAVEN ON EARTH.. I dont know exactly why, but all my life Ive wanted to do someplace some good, 42-year-old Bill Zacha said recently in his studio in Mendocino, Everybody uses places, but few give the place back anything. Towns have souls and needs like other living things. People forget this. When I first saw Mendocino, I became excited. It had an unusual, almost unearthly quality about it - pure, quiet, unsullied - but it was dying. I knew I could help it, help it get back on its feet and make it a place where people would get a simple but profound satisfaction out of living.. One of Zachas first moves was to buy one of the many wistful, lovely gabled houses, for $50 down. The down payment reflects the awesomely sad condition real-estate values had fallen to by 1957. The next step was to get a job - as a teacher in the high school. He brought his wife Jennie and their ...
Asymmetric stem cell divisions provide an efficient mechanism for maintaining a steady stem cell pool while generating progenitor cells that give rise to differentiated progeny within the tissue where the stem cells reside (Morrison and Kimble, 2006; Pontious et al., 2008; Kriegstein and Alvarez-Buylla, 2009; Knoblich, 2010; Weng and Lee, 2011). Progenitor cells possess restricted developmental potential and function to protect the genomic integrity of stem cells by minimizing their proliferation. Since both daughter cells inherit the cellular content from their parental stem cell during asymmetric division, proper specification of sibling cell identity requires precise control of stem cell determinants. Failure to properly downregulate stem cell determinants in presumptive progenitor cells might allow them to acquire stem cell-like functional properties, and can perturb tissue homeostasis and contribute to tumor formation (Krivtsov et al., 2006; Wei et al., 2008). Thus, mechanistic insight into ...
The Bazzi laboratory is investigating the roles of cytoskeletal organizers in mammalian development and homeostasis. Dr. Bazzi and his team are focusing on the functions of centrosomes in the developing mouse and in stem cells. They use mouse genetics to study the consequences of the loss of centrosomes on various cell processes such as cell cycle, division, polarity, migration, signaling and fate determination. The labs goal is to shed light on centrosome-related human diseases and to help find ways of treating them. Our research: The Bazzi laboratory studies centrosome function in stem cells. The team aims to define the function of centrosomes in asymmetric stem cell divisions in the developing and regenerative skin stem cells. To this end, they use mouse genetic approaches in vivo for the conditional removal of the centrosome, and investigate the consequences and the corresponding mechanisms. Our successes: Using genetic mutations in the mouse, the team has removed centrosome function in the ...
Congratulations to Tri Pham and Clemens Cabernard for their recent publication in iScience!. The paper describes cellular and biophysical mechanisms underlying the formation of sibling cell size asymmetry. They show how during cell division a big and small cell are being formed simultaneously. Sibling cell size asymmetry occurs across animal cells but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. Summary:. Metazoan cells can generate unequal sized sibling cells during cell division. This form of asymmetric cell division depends on spindle geometry and Myosin distribution, but the underlying mechanics are unclear. Here, we use atomic force microscopy and live cell imaging to elucidate the biophysical forces involved in the establishment of physical asymmetry in Drosophila neural stem cells. We show that initial apical cortical expansion is driven by hydrostatic pressure, peaking shortly after anaphase onset, and enabled by a relief of actomyosin contractile tension on the apical cell cortex. An ...
The bristle mechanosensory organs of the adult fly are composed of four different cells that originate from a single precursor cell, pI, via two rounds of asymmetric cell division. Here, we have examined the pattern of cell divisions in this lineage by time-lapse confocal microscopy using GFP imaging and by immunostaining analysis. pI divided within the plane of the epithelium and along the anteroposterior axis to give rise to an anterior cell, pIIb, and a posterior cell, pIIa. pIIb divided prior to pIIa to generate a small subepithelial cell and a larger daughter cell, named pIIIb. This unequal division, oriented perpendicularly to the epithelium plane, has not been described previously. pIIa divided after pIIb, within the plane of the epithelium and along the AP axis, to produce a posterior socket cell and an anterior shaft cell. Then pIIIb divided perpendicularly to the epithelium plane to generate a basal neurone and an apical sheath cell. The small subepithelial pIIb daughter cell was ...
Asymmetric cell division generates cell diversity across all kingdoms of life. For example, stem cells form daughters that differentiate and the ones that replenish the stem cell pool. Defects in polarity and asymmetric cell division lead to developmental problems and disease. We use the budding yeast S. cerevisiae as a model system to understand the mechanisms and functions of asymmetric cell division.. A notable trait of budding yeast cell division is aging. Indeed, yeast mother cells have a limited division potential. Damages such as protein aggregates accumulate in the mother cell. How they are asymmetrically inherited to allow rejuvenation of daughter cells is still poorly understood. Beyond identifying the mechanisms of asymmetric cell division, we follow the idea that a merit to aging may be the cellular ability to keep memories of their past adaptations to cope better with future stress.. We discovered a new type of epigenetic memory that is based on the aggregation of the mRNA binding ...
A central mechanism for stem cell maintenance and the generation of cellular diversity in both plants and animals is through asymmetric cell division, which ensures that the two daughter cells maintain separate identities (Abrash and Bergmann, 2009; Fichelson et al., 2009; Menke and Scheres, 2009). Asymmetric cell division during development can occur through signals from surrounding neighbors (extrinsic control) or, alternatively, intrinsic polarity within the cell can trigger partitioning of cell fate determinants (intrinsic control) (Abrash and Bergmann, 2009). Due to the tractability and accessibility of the epidermis, stomatal development has emerged as a model to study asymmetric division and cellular self-renewal. In Arabidopsis thaliana, stomatal development initiates from a subset of protodermal cells, termed meristemoid mother cells (MMCs) (Figure 1A). An MMC undergoes an asymmetric cell division that creates a stomatal precursor called a meristemoid. The meristemoid reiterates several ...
Asymmetric cell division is a conserved mechanism by which cell fate diversity is generated during Metazoan development. How one cell can generate two daughter cells with different identities and how defects in this asymmetry can contribute to cancer are the fundamental questions we are addressing in Drosophila. We are investigating this process in the context of asymmetric cell division of neural precursor cells, called Sensory Organ Precursor (SOP). These latter undergo four rounds of asymmetric divisions, in which mother cells generate distinct daughters via the unequal segregation of the cell-fate determinants Numb and Neuralized at mitosis. At each division binary cell fate decision are regulated by Delta-Notch dependent cell-cell signalling. Numb is an endocytic protein that can bind to Notch and a four pass transmembrane protein named Sanpodo (Spdo), a protein required for Notch activation in SOP lineage, thereby preventing Notch activation in this cell. Neur acts in SOPs and pIIb cells ...

Our data revealed that the mode of neurogenesis in onychophorans is more similar to that found in hexapods and crustaceans than that in chelicerates and myriapods as the onychophoran neuroectoderm shows neither post-mitotic cell clusters nor segmental invaginations. In Onychophora, instead, single precursors are recruited for neuronal fate and migrate internally as bottle-like cells, which is similar to the mode found in hexapods (figure 4). These immigrated cells are mitotically active, and in this respect resemble the neuronal stem cells (neuroblasts) of both crustaceans and hexapods (Harzsch 2001; Stollewerk & Simpson 2005; Ungerer & Scholtz 2008), even though they do not show asymmetric cell divisions. Our findings thus suggest that immigration of single cells, followed by their mitotic activity, is an ancestral feature of arthropod neurogenesis, while asymmetric cell divisions are a synapomorphy of crustaceans and hexapods (figure 8). The absence of the following three characters in ...

Characterization of the stem-like properties of cancer stem cells (CSCs) remain indirect and qualitative, especially the ability of CSCs to undergo asymmetric cell division for self renewal and differentiation, a unique property of cells of stem origin. It is partly due to the lack of stable cellular models of CSCs. In this study, we developed a new approach for CSC isolation and purification to derive a CSC-enriched cell line (LLC-SE). By conducting five consecutive rounds of single cell cloning using the LLC-SE cell line, we obtained two distinct sub-population of cells within the Lewis lung cancer CSCs that employed largely symmetric division for self-renewal (LLC-SD) or underwent asymmetric division for differentiation (LLC-ASD ...

Establishment of cell polarity in rapidly dividing Drosophila stem cells. The ability to generate different cell types is a fundamental feature of multicellular life forms. Asymmetric cell division (ACD) is an important process that helps to produce the repertoire of cell types. ACD is particularly important for the function of stem cells as it provides the bases for self-renewing fate generating divisions during development as well as for tissue homeostasis in the adult. Faulty stem cell division has dramatic consequences for the integrity of organisms as it can compromise normal initiation and maintenance of tissues. We are interested in the dynamics of ACD in stem cells. A long-term goal is to understand how cycling stem cells robustly control ACD to prevent errors in cell fate generation.. We use Drosophila neural stem cells of the developing central nervous system called, neuroblasts, to study this process. Neuroblasts are highly proliferative and provide a well-characterised model system ...

To understand the lineage relationship between BMI1+ and LGR5+ cells in asymmetric pairs, we derived and characterized CCIC lines (CCIC-1 and CCIC-2) from two colorectal cancer patients as previously described (4, 26) and performed a pair-cell assay (17, 31). Single CCICs were monitored through approximately 36 hours followed by immunofluorescence of cell pairs (Supplementary Fig. S1A) for markers, including BMI1, LGR5, NOTCH1, and others. Coimmunofluorescence for LGR5 and BMI1 confirmed that CCICs could divide into asymmetric BMI1+/LGR5+ daughter cell pairs; in addition, a notable difference was observed in the longest nuclear diameters of the BMI1+ CCIC and its LGR5+ counterpart (Supplementary Fig. S1B). The presence of these BMI1+/LGR5+ asymmetric cell pairs in CCIC is consistent with what we observed in primary colorectal cancer s. In approximately 5% of newly divided pairs, asymmetric division was identified producing daughter cell pairs that exhibited the specific cellular and nuclear ...
