transcription dynamics of three key genes that encode transcription factors:
PU.1 ([AKA] Spi1), Gata1 & Gata2. ... infrequent, stochastic bursts of
transcription result in the co-expression of these antagonistic transcription
factors in the majority of haematopoietic stem & progenitor cells. Moreover,
by pairing smFISH with time-lapse microscopy & the analysis of pedigrees, we
find that although individual stem-cell clones produce descendants that are
in transcriptionally related states - akin to a trans.priming phenomenon -
the underlying transition dynamics between states are best captured by
stochastic & reversible models. As such, a stoch. process can produce
cellular behaviours that may be incorrectly inferred to have arisen from
deterministic dynamics. We propose a model whereby the intrinsic stoch'y of
gene expn facilitates, rather than impedes, the concomitant maintenance of
transcriptional plasticity & stem cell robustness."
