摘要

Hemogenic endothelium (HE) is recognized as the origin of all definitive blood cells, including hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs); however, the mechanisms governing the hematopoietic progenitor versus HSC fate choice within the HE remain unknown. Here we combine differentiation assays with full-length single-cell transcriptome data for extra-embryonic yolk sac (YS) and intra-embryonic aorta–gonad–mesonephros (AGM) region HE populations. We identified and localized three differentiation trajectories, each containing a distinct HE subset: erythromyeloid progenitor-primed HE in the YS plexus, lymphomyeloid progenitor-primed HE in large YS arteries and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell-primed HE in the AGM. Chromatin modifiers and spliceosome components were enriched in AGM HE. This correlated with a higher isoform complexity of the AGM HE transcriptome. Distinct AGM HE-specific isoform expression patterns were observed for a broad range of genes, including stemness-associated factors like Runx1. Our data form a unique resource for studying cell fate decisions in different HE populations.
