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


ABSTRACT: 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.
