In the embryo, first hematopoietic cells derive from yolk sac and are thought to be rapidly replaced by progeny of stem cells. We used three lineage-tracing mouse models show that, contrary what was previously assumed, do not contribute significantly erythrocyte production up until birth. Lineage tracing erythromyeloid progenitors, which generate tissue resident macrophages, identified highly proliferative erythroid progenitors that differentiate after intra-embryonic injection, persisting...

Summary It was proposed that two sequential sources of intraembryonic multipotent progenitors ensure blood cell production from late gestation into adulthood, with only the latter producing self-renewing hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). How these populations differ and how they impact establishment postnatal immune system, remains poorly understood. Using complementary lineage tracing models, we showed first emerging embryonic (eMPP) are responsible for hematopoiesis. They distinct HSC do not...

The assessment of the regenerative capacity heart has been compromised by lack surface signatures to characterize cardiomyocytes (CMs). Here, combined multiparametric marker analysis with single-cell transcriptional profiling and in vivo transplantation identify main mouse fetal cardiac populations their progenitors (PRGs).

Abstract During embryogenesis, yolk-sac and intra-embryonic-derived hematopoietic progenitors, comprising the precursors of adult stem cells, converge into fetal liver. With a new staining strategy, we defined all non-hematopoietic components liver found that hepatoblasts are major producers growth factors. We identified mesothelial novel component stromal compartment, producing Kit ligand, cytokine. A high-definition imaging dataset analyzed using deep-learning based pipeline allowed...

Summary Embryonic hematopoiesis consists of distinct waves originating in rapid succession from different anatomical locations. Hematopoietic progenitors appearing earlier than definitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) play key roles fetal and postnatal life. However, their precise origin, identity the extent contribution need further clarification. To this aim, we took advantage a genetic fate-mapping strategy mice that allows labeling tracking subsets hemogenic endothelium (HE)....

Embryonic hematopoietic cells develop in the fetal liver (FL), surrounded by diverse non-hematopoietic stromal cells. However, spatial organization and cytokine production patterns of stroma during FL development remain poorly understood. Here, we characterized mapped cell populations at early (E12.5–14.5) stages, revealing that while hepatoblasts were primary source growth factors, other cells—including mesenchymal, mesothelial, endothelial cells—also contributed to this signaling network....

Abstract The first hematopoietic cells are produced in the yolk sac and thought to be rapidly replaced by progeny of stem cells. Here we document that do not contribute significantly erythrocyte production up until birth. Lineage tracing sac-derived erythromyeloid progenitors, also tissue resident macrophages, shows a highly proliferative erythroblasts, after intra embryonic injection, differentiate. These similar cells, c-Myb dependent developmentally restricted as they found bone marrow....

Topic: 23. Hematopoiesis, stem cells and microenvironment Background: During embryogenesis, the hematopoietic system is formed by waves of progenitors that arise from yolk sac (YS) dorsal aorta (DA). These converge to fetal liver (FL), where they display distinct dynamics proliferation differentiation. New evidence ourselves others show YS, but not cell (HSC)-derived progenitors, drives hematopoiesis during period. Aims: Our aim identify how these two progenitor types respond environmental...

Introduction: The epicardium is a source of the coronary vasculature and stroma during heart development. Although quiescent in physiological adult heart, increasing evidences indicate potential activation differentiation into its progeny after cardiac injury; however, this remains debated. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that vivo hypoxia exposure can mimic embryonic profile prime epicardial progenitor cell to more immature profile. Methods: Perinatal BL6 Pw1 nLacz hearts were used track...
