RESUMO

Hematopoiesis is a dynamic process in which stem and progenitor cells give rise to the ~1013 blood and immune cells distributed throughout the human body. We argue that a quantitative description of hematopoiesis can help consolidate existing data, identify knowledge gaps, and generate new hypotheses. Here, we review known numbers in murine and, where possible, human hematopoiesis, and consolidate murine numbers into a set of reference values. We present estimates of cell numbers, division and differentiation rates, cell size, and macromolecular composition for each hematopoietic cell type. We also propose guidelines to improve the reporting of measurements and highlight areas in which quantitative data are lacking. Overall, we show how quantitative approaches can be used to understand key properties of hematopoiesis.

RESUMO

Acute inflammation recruits neutrophils with a band-shaped nucleus to the circulation. This neutrophil population was recently shown to have superior antibacterial capacity. Early recruitment of banded neutrophils to an infection site will likely improve the outcome of the immune response, yet it critically depends on efficient migration. However, the current dogma states that the segmentation of the mature neutrophil nucleus has evolved to favor migration through narrow pores as found between endothelial cells and in the interstitium. Therefore, we hypothesized that banded neutrophils migrate less efficiently than neutrophils with segmented nuclei, whereas recently described neutrophils with hypersegmented nuclei would in turn migrate more efficiently. Acute inflammation was evoked in a human model of experimental endotoxemia to recruit neutrophil subsets with different nuclear segmentation to the circulation. To simulate migration toward an infection site, migration of the subsets was studied in in vitro models of transendothelial migration or interstitial chemokinesis and chemotaxis. In both models, nuclear segmentation did not increase migration speed. In dense collagen matrices, the speed of the hypersegmented neutrophils was even reduced compared with the banded neutrophils. Fluorescence microscopy suggested that the hypersegmented neutrophils displayed reduced rear release and deposited more membrane vesicles. Vice versa, migration through narrow pores did not induce nuclear segmentation in the neutrophils. In conclusion, like neutrophils with a segmented nucleus, the banded subset exhibited efficient migration through narrow pores. These findings suggest that the nucleus does not preclude the banded subset from reaching an infection site.

RESUMO

Humoral immunity is a critical effector arm for protection against malaria but develops only slowly after repeated infections. T cell-mediated regulatory dynamics affect the development of antibody responses to Plasmodium parasites. Here, we hypothesize that T follicular helper cell (TFH) polarization generated by repeated Plasmodium asexual blood-stage infections delays the onset of protective humoral responses. IFN-γ production promotes polarization toward TFH1 and increased generation of regulatory follicular helper cells (TFR). Delineating the mechanisms that drive TH1 polarization will provide clues for appropriate induction of lasting, protective immunity against malaria.
