Atlas of Cynomolgus Macaque Hematopoiesis
biorxiv(2024)
摘要
Self-renewal and differentiation are inherent properties of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that are necessary to support hematopoiesis; however, the underlying mechanisms, especially in human, remain unclear. Here, using the cynomolgus macaque as a surrogate model, we develop a new gating strategy to isolate with high purity transplantable cynomolgus HSCs and generated a single-cell transcriptomic map of cynomolgus HSCs and progenitor cells — that covering gestational periods previously not analyzed in human. We show that hematopoietic cells from the late-1st to early-3rd trimester fetal liver and late-2nd trimester and thereafter bone marrow have repopulating potential, closely mimicking humans. Unexpectedly however, we found unlike in human, cynomolgus HSCs express CD38 but not CD33, indicating that these cellular counterparts are molecularly distinct. Our transcriptomic analysis reveals the presence of a direct differentiation pathway from HSCs to megakaryocyte lineages, lineage-primed multipotent progenitors and also identified putative HSC surface markers. Taken together, our comprehensive dataset highlights not only the utility of cynomolgus monkeys as model systems to study hematopoiesis but also their potential for translational applications.
