Mesoderm-derived PDGFRA<sup>+</sup> cells regulate the emergence of hematopoietic stem cells in the dorsal aorta
pubmed: wnt1 2022-07-29
Summary:
Mouse haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) first emerge at embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5), on the ventral surface of the dorsal aorta, by endothelial-to-haematopoietic transition. We investigated whether mesenchymal stem cells, which provide an essential niche for long-term HSCs (LT-HSCs) in the bone marrow, reside in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros and contribute to the development of the dorsal aorta and endothelial-to-haematopoietic transition. Here we show that mesoderm-derived PDGFRA^(+) stromal cells...
