There was a sustained, but not significant, increase in proportions in the multi-potent progenitor (MPP) 2 and 3 subpopulations in the burn cohort compared to sham controls. The common myeloid progenitor (CMP) proportion was significantly higher on days 3 and 10 (both p < .01), while the granulocyte-macrophage progenitor (GMP) proportion increased on days 1, 2, and 10 (p < .05, p < .01, p < .01). Although the megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor (MEP) proportion appeared consistently lower in the burn cohort, this did not reach significance. mRNA analysis resulted in a downregulation of PU.1 on day 1 (p = 0.0002) with an upregulation by day 7 (p < 0.01). GATA-1 downregulation occurred by day 7 (p < 0.05), and GATA3 showed downregulation on days 3 and 7 (p < 0.05).</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Full-thickness burn results in an emergency hematopoiesis via proportional increase of Long Term-HSC and Short Term-HSC/MPP1 subpopulations beginning in the early post-injury period. Subsequent lineage commitment displays a myeloid predominance with a shift toward myeloid progenitors with mRNA analysis corroborating this finding with associated upregulation of PU.1 and downregulation of GATA-1 and GATA-3. Further studies are needed to understand how burn-induced emergency hematopoiesis may predispose to infection by pathologic lineage selection.</p>","PeriodicalId":21667,"journal":{"name":"SHOCK","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142073812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
