Abstract

Recent advances in developmental immunology have revealed a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-independent origin for various innate immune lineages, including mast cells (MCs). It is now established that adult bone marrow (BM) long-term HSCs do not regenerate MCs but, instead, the physiological production of MCs starts before the emergence of HSCs in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region and is mostly completed before birth. However, while the AGM region represents a major site of MC generation during ontogeny, whether the first emerging HSCs in the AGM or fetal liver (FL) possess the potential to regenerate MCs is unknown. Here, we combined three fate-mapping mouse models with detailed HSC transplantation assays to determine the potential of AGM and FL HSCs to produce MCs. We show that HSCs from E11.5 AGM and E12.5 FL efficiently repopulated MCs in recipients. In stark contrast, HSCs from ≥E14.5 FL failed to reconstitute MCs. An Endothelial (EC) fate-mapping study confirmed the EC origin of the majority of MCs. Additionally, our HSC-labeling showed that HSCs do not produce MCs in a physiological setting. Hence, although most MCs are generated and maintained via an HSC-independent pathway, the earliest HSCs to emerge in the AGM and seed the early FL can produce MCs, but only during a minimal time window. Our results challenge the stem cell theory in hematology and EC-derived mast cells may contribute to the pathogenesis of postnatal mast cell disorders.

Figure 5 Diversification of HSC to the MC progenitor and HSC maturation. E10.5–11.5 pre-HSC in the AGM region contains a variety of cell populations including HSC with MC capacity (plus other innate lineages too), MPP, and other lineage-restricted progenitors. E12.5 FL contains at least 3 classes of MC repopulating cells; 1) HSCs (with reduced MC differentiation capacity), 2) MPPs with MC potential, and 3) Kit+β7-integrin+ MC progenitor cells. 1) is the consequence of E11.5 pre-HSC/HSC and 2) are derived from E9.5-10.5 AGM EC-derived production. 3) are derived from the early EC-derived wave and later AGM EC wave. In E14.5, HSCs had lost MC capacity, but MC progenitors still exist within MNCs, then distribute into general tissue and maintain long term in local.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
