Robust hematopoietic stem cell activity is derived from pre-circulation embryos but not yolk sacs

ABSTRACT: The embryonic site of definitive hematopoietic stem cell (dHSC) origination has been debated for decades. Although an intra-embryonic origin is supported, recent data suggest that a large fraction of adult blood derives from the yolk sac (YS). Investigating the origins of hematopoiesis before heartbeat onset (i.e. 5-7 somite pairs (sp)) is precluded by a lack of assays that can distinguish dHSC precursors in early embryos. Here, we report robust, multi-lineage and serially transplantable dHSC activity from cultured 2-7sp murine embryonic explants (Em-Ex). dHSC were undetectable in 2-7sp YS explants (YS-Ex). Our work supports a model in which the embryo, not the YS, is the major source of lifelong hematopoiesis.

Single cell transcriptome sequencing of CS11 and CS15 human yolk sacs

Project description:Yolk sac is an important site for early embryonic hematopoiesis. However, our understanding of early hematopoietic development is still very limited. Single cell transcriptome sequencing provides us with a good research method. Here, we performed single cell RNA-seq analysis for Carnegie stage 11 (CS11) and Carnegie stage 15 (CS15) human yolk sacs.

RNA sequencing profiles of B progenitor cells derived from mouse ES cell, Yolk sac, fetal liver, and adult bone marrow.

Project description:We induced mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into B progenitors in in vitro culture. We previously reported that B cells derived from extra-embryonic yolks sac (YS) belong to innate-like B-1 cells, not conventional B-2 cells. Since ES cell differentiation into Blood lineage, it recapitulates YS hematopoiesis, we hypothesized that B cells produced by mouse ESCs belong to B-1 cells as well. We transplanted ESC-derived B-progenitor cells into immunodeficient mice and confirmed that ES-derived B cells differentiate into only B-1 and marginal zone B cells, not B-2 cells in vivo. We preformed gene expression profiles by RNA sequencing comparing ESC-derived, YS-derived, fetal liver derived, and adult bone marrow derived B progenitor cells to see their characteristics.

Ezh2 is essential for the generation of functional yolk sac derived erythro-myeloid progenitor [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Yolk sac (YS) hematopoiesis is critical for the survival of the embryo and a major source of tissue-resident macrophages that persist into adulthood. Here we report that the epigenetic regulator Ezh2 is essential for YS hematopoiesis but dispensable for subsequent aorta–gonad–mesonephros (AGM) blood development. Loss of Ezh2 activity in hemogenic endothelium (HE) leads to the generation of phenotypically intact but functionally deficient erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMP). Ezh2 activity is critical at the onset of the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition generating EMPs but rapidly dispensable after that. We identified a lack of downregulation of Wnt signaling as the primary reason in the generation of non-functional EMPs. Together, our findings demonstrate a critical and specific role of Ezh2 in modulating Wnt signaling during the generation of EMPs from YS HE.

C-Myb+ erythro-myeloid progenitor-derived fetal monocytes give rise to adult tissue-resident macrophages

Project description:Although classified as hematopoietic cells, tissue-resident macrophages are selfrenewing and maintained independently of adult hematopoiesis. While most macrophages originate from embryonic precursors that seed tissues prior to birth, their exact origin is unknown. Using an in utero macrophage depletion strategy and fatemapping of yolk sac (YS) and fetal liver (FL) hematopoiesis, we found that YS macrophages are the main precursors of microglia, while most other macrophages derive from fetal monocytes. Both YS macrophages and fetal monocytes arise from erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMP) generated in the YS. In the YS, EMP gave rise to macrophages without monocytic intermediates, while EMP seeding the FL upon the establishment of blood circulation acquired c-Myb expression and gave rise to fetal monocytes that then seed embryonic tissues to differentiate into macrophages. Thus, adult tissue-resident macrophages established from HSC-independent embryonic precursors arise from two different developmental programs.

Murine hematopoietic stem cell activity is derived from pre-circulation embryos but not yolk sacs.

Project description:The embryonic site of definitive hematopoietic stem cell (dHSC) origination has been debated for decades. Although an intra-embryonic origin is well supported, the yolk sac (YS) contribution to adult hematopoiesis remains controversial. The same developmental origin makes it difficult to identify specific markers that discern between an intraembryonic versus YS-origin using a lineage trace approach. Additionally, the highly migratory nature of blood cells and the inability of pre-circulatory embryonic cells (i.e., 5-7 somite pairs (sp)) to robustly engraft in transplantation, even after culture, has precluded scientists from properly answering these questions. Here we report robust, multi-lineage and serially transplantable dHSC activity from cultured 2-7sp murine embryonic explants (Em-Ex). dHSC are undetectable in 2-7sp YS explants. Additionally, the engraftment from Em-Ex is confined to an emerging CD31+CD45+c-Kit+CD41- population. In sum, our work supports a model in which the embryo, not the YS, is the major source of lifelong definitive hematopoiesis.

Adult-repopulating lymphoid potential is not confined to the arterial endothelial cells in yolk sac

Project description:During embryogenesis, hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) are believed to be derived from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs). Moreover, arterial feature is proposed to be a prerequisite for the HECs to generate HSPCs with lymphoid potential. Whereas the molecular basis of the hematopoietic stem cell-competent HECs has been delicately elucidated within the embryo proper, the functional and molecular heterogeneity of HECs in the extra-embryonic yolk sac (YS) remains largely unresolved. In this study, we firstly identified six molecularly different endothelial populations in the mid-gestational YS through integrated analysis of several single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets, and validated the arterial vasculature distribution of Gja5+ ECs by using a Gja5-EGFP reporter mouse model. We further explored the hemogenic potential of different EC populations based on their Gja5- EGFP and CD44 expression. The lineage differentiation potentials of ECs were spatiotemporally different and the B lymphoid potential was detected in the YS ECs as early as embryonic day (E) 8.5 regardless of their arterial feature. Unexpectedly, capacity of generating hematopoietic progenitors with in vivo lymphoid potential was found in non-arterial in addition to arterial YS ECs at E10.0-E10.5. Importantly, the distinct identities of E10.0-E10.5 ECs with a hemogenic potential between those from YS and from intra-embryonic caudal region were revealed by further scRNA-seq analysis. Taken together, these findings extend our knowledge about the hemogenic potential of ECs from anatomically and molecularly different vascular beds, providing a theoretical basis for better understanding the sources of HSPCs during mammalian development.

The T-box Transcription Factor Eomesodermin Governs Hemogenic Competence of Yolk Sac Mesodermal Progenitors [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Extra-embryonic mesoderm (ExM), the earliest cells that traverse through the primitive streak, give rise to the endothelium as well as hematopoietic progenitors in the developing yolk-sac (YS). How a specific subset of ExM becomes committed to a hematopoietic fate remains unclear. Here we report that Eomesodermin (Eomes), a T-box transcription factor, is transiently expressed in ExM progenitors that generate virtually all YS hematopoietic and endothelial cells. Using an embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation system, we find that Eomes activity is essential for the production of primitive erythrocytes and for the normal development of Runx1+ HE that generates the definitive hematopoietic progenitors. RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq experiments reveal that Eomes governs the accessibility of numerous hematopoietic enhancers that SCL normally utilizes to specify primitive erythrocytes and HE in Flk-1hi/PdgfRa- hematovascular mesoderm. ChIP-seq experiments suggest that Eomes coordinates the development of hemogenic competent mesoderm in the context of Activin/Nodal and Tead-Yap signaling. Finally, single-cell- RNA-seq (scRNAseq) shows that in the absence of Eomes function diversion towards an endothelial rather than hematopoietic fate occurs after the initial specification of Flk-1+/SCL+ hematovascular mesoderm. Collectively, these experiments demonstrate that Eomes sits at the top of the transcriptional hierarchy, functioning upstream of Runx1 expression and SCL functional activity, and promotes hemogenic competence of the entire YS mesodermal lineage.
