In this study, we test the assumption that the hematopoietic progenitor/colony-forming cells of the embryonic yolk sac (YS), which are endowed with megakaryocytic potential, differentiate into the first platelet-forming cells in vivo. We demonstrate that from embryonic day (E) 8.5 all megakaryocyte (MK) colony-forming cells belong to the conventional hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) compartment. Although these cells are indeed capable of generating polyploid MKs, they are not the source of the first platelet-forming cells. We show that proplatelet formation first occurs in a unique and previously unrecognized lineage of diploid platelet-forming cells, which develop within the YS in parallel to HPCs but can be specified in the E8.5 Runx1-null embryo despite the absence of the progenitor cell lineage.
在这项研究中,我们验证了这样一个假设,即胚胎卵黄囊(YS)中的造血祖细胞/集落形成细胞具有巨核细胞潜能,它们在体内分化为第一批血小板形成细胞。我们证明,从胚胎第 8.5 天(E)开始,所有巨核细胞(MK)集落形成细胞都属于常规造血祖细胞(HPC)区室。尽管这些细胞确实能够产生多倍体 MK,但它们不是第一批血小板形成细胞的来源。我们表明,血小板前体细胞的形成首先发生在一个独特的、以前未被识别的二倍体血小板形成细胞谱系中,该谱系与 HPC 平行发育于 YS 中,但在 E8.5 Runx1 缺失胚胎中可以被指定,尽管缺乏祖细胞谱系。
