Developmental Origins of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

  • Chapter
Molecular Biology of B-Cell and T-Cell Development

Part of the book series: Contemporary Immunology ((CONTIM))

Abstract

The hemato/lymphopoietic system is a dynamic continuum of differentiating cells leading to the production of numerous lineages of blood effector cells. In the adult, only a few immature undifferentiated hematopoietic stem cells are required to yield the enormous number of intermediate progenitors and effector cells produced daily. Although these founder cells of the adult mammalian blood system have been extensively studied, the developmental origins of definitive hematopoietic stem cells are controversial, and the subject of much current research. In this article, the authors review studies that explore the ontogeny of the hemato/lymphopoietic system and present current models of initiation, migration, lineage potential, and molecular programming of the cells involved in establishing the complex network in the adult. The combined results of studies on the origin and function suggest distinct embryonic and adult hierarchies on the cellular levels, whereas molecular studies suggest some, but not complete, overlap in the genetic programming of embryonic and adult hematopoietic cells.
