Multi-lineage Differentiation from Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023:1442:159-175. doi: 10.1007/978-981-99-7471-9_10.

Abstract

The hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the ability to differentiate and give rise to all mature blood cells. Commitment to differentiation progressively limits the self-renewal potential of the original HSCs by regulating the level of lineage-specific gene expression. In this review, we will summarize the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying HSC differentiation toward erythroid, myeloid, and lymphocyte lineages. Moreover, we will decipher how the single-cell technologies advance the lineage-biased HSC subpopulations and their differentiation potential.

Keywords: Epigenetic regulation; Hematopoietic stem cell; Lineage differentiation; Non-coding RNA; Single-cell technology; Transcription factor networks.
