ABSTRACT
It has been proposed that adult hematopoiesis is sustained by multipotent progenitors (MPPs) specified during embryogenesis. Adult-like hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and MPP immunophenotypes are present in the fetus, but knowledge of their functional capacity is incomplete. We found that fetal MPP populations were functionally similar to adult cells, albeit with some differences in lymphoid output. Clonal assessment revealed that lineage biases arose from differences in patterns of single-/bi-lineage differentiation. Long-term (LT)- and short-term (ST)-HSC populations were distinguished from MPPs according to capacity for clonal multilineage differentiation. We discovered that a large cohort of long-term repopulating units (LT-RUs) resides within the ST-HSC population; a significant portion of these were labeled using Flt3-cre. This finding has two implications (1) use of the CD150+ LT-HSC immunophenotype alone will significantly underestimate the size and diversity of the LT-RU pool and (2) LT-RUs in the ST-HSC population have the attributes required to persist into adulthood.
