Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reconstitute multilineage human hematopoiesis after clinical bone marrow (BM) transplantation and are the cells of origin of some hematological malignancies. Although HSCs provide multilineage engraftment, individual murine HSCs are lineage biased and contribute unequally to blood cell lineages. Here, we performed high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing in mice after xenograft with molecularly barcoded adult human BM HSCs. We demonstrated that human individual BM HSCs are also functionally and transcriptionally lineage biased. Specifically, we identified platelet-biased and multilineage human HSCs. Quantitative comparison of transcriptomes from single HSCs from young and aged BM showed that both the proportion of platelet-biased HSCs and their level of transcriptional platelet priming increase with age. Therefore, platelet-biased HSCs and their increased prevalence and transcriptional platelet priming during aging are conserved features of mammalian evolution.
期刊介绍:
Science Immunology is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles in the field of immunology. The journal encourages the submission of research findings from all areas of immunology, including studies on innate and adaptive immunity, immune cell development and differentiation, immunogenomics, systems immunology, structural immunology, antigen presentation, immunometabolism, and mucosal immunology. Additionally, the journal covers research on immune contributions to health and disease, such as host defense, inflammation, cancer immunology, autoimmunity, allergy, transplantation, and immunodeficiency. Science Immunology maintains the same high-quality standard as other journals in the Science family and aims to facilitate understanding of the immune system by showcasing innovative advances in immunology research from all organisms and model systems, including humans.
