Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Experimental design. Three months after injection of 10 5 umbilical cord blood CD34 + cells, mononuclear cells were isolated from mBM and hOSS and pooled according to origin. CD34 + cells were then sorted with a purity >70% and viability >90%. Sorted cells were then used to prepare single-cell RNA-sequencing libraries. B. UMAP representation of the 13 clusters identified via Seurat. Each cluster is represented by a different color. Clusters were annotated by comparing the gene expression profiles with those of the hematopoietic populations described by Hay et al. (HSC = hematopoietic stem cell, MPP = multipotent progenitor, LMPP = lymphoid-primed multi-potential progenitor, MDP = monocyte/dendritic cell progenitor, CLP = common lymphoid progenitor, Multi-Lin = multi-lineage progenitor, pre-PC = pre-plasma cells, Eo-B-Mast = eosino-baso-mast cells). C. Annotation of the 13 clusters according to gene markers as previously described ( ; ). The color code is shown in the figure legend. D. Comparison of population distribution (absolute numbers) between the mBM and hOss compartments. Each bar corresponds to the total number of cells in a given sub-population. The sum of each bar corresponds to the total number of cells in our dataset. Each bar is divided into 3 segments corresponding to the original samples. E. Comparison of the proportion of 3 major progenitor groups (HSC/MPP/LMPP, B cell precursors/progenitors and myeloid precursor/progenitor cells) in the mBM and hOss conditions. Proportions were calculated within each sample using the data from E. “B Precursor/Progenitor” include CD34 + pre-PC, CD34 + pre-B cycling, CD34 + Multilin/CLP, CD34 + pro-B, CD34 + pre-B, follicular B cells. “Myeloid precursor/progenitor” contain immature neutrophils/monocytes, neutrophils, CD34 + MDP/pre-dendritic cells, CD34 + Eo-B-Mast, CD34 + early erythroblasts, erythroblasts. Early HSPC are contained in CD34 + HSC/MPP/LMPP cells. The proportions were compared using a χ2 test. For each test, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.001. F-G. Differentially expressed genes between post-natal hOss (F) or fetal hOss (G) and mBM cells within the CD34 + HSC/MPP/LMPP compartment. Each volcanoplot indicates the expression of genes that were significantly downregulated (p < 0.05, red dots) or upregulated (blue dots) in hOss compared with mBM. Genes that were not significantly underexpressed or overexpressed are shown in green. H. Venn Diagram showing the 47 common upregulated genes in the CD34 + HSC/MPP/LMPP compartment from P-N/hOss (blue) and F/hOss (red), both compared with mBM. I. Venn diagram showing 9 out of the 47 gene list (green) from H identified among the 50 most upregulated genes, P-N/hOss compared with mBM (blue), and F-hOss compared with mBM (red).
Article Snippet: Based on these results, an equivalent of 1,000 human CD34 + cells from mBM and hOss were plated in 1 mL of methylcellulose-based medium (130-125-042, StemMACSTM HSC-CFU Assay Kit; Miltenyi Biotec) that contained human SCF, IL-3, IL-6, Erythropoietin (EPO), G-CSF, GM-CSF and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin.
