    Abstract:
    Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) is a dominant marker of mesodermal mesenchymal cells in mice. Previous studies demonstrated that PDGFRα-positive (PDGFRα+) mesodermal cells develop not only into mesenchymal cells but also into a subset of total hematopoietic cells (HCs) in the limited period during mouse embryogenesis. However, the precise characteristics of the PDGFRα lineage positive (PDGFRα Lin+) HCs in adult mouse hematopoiesis are largely unknown. In this study, we systematically evaluated the characteristics of PDGFRα Lin+ HCs in the bone marrow and peripheral blood using PDGFRα-CRE; ROSAtdTomato mice. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that PDGFRα Lin+ HCs accounted for approximately 20% of total HCs in both the bone marrow and peripheral blood in adult mice. Compositions of myeloid and lymphoid subpopulations among CD45+ mononuclear cells were almost identical in both PDGFRα Lin+ and PDGFRα Lin- cells. Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis also demonstrated that the transcriptomic signatures of the PDGFRα Lin+ HCs in the peripheral blood largely overlapped with those of the PDGFRα Lin- HCs, suggesting equivalent functions of the PDGFRα Lin+ and PDGFRα Lin- HCs. Although pathophysiological activities of the PDGFRα Lin + HCs were not evaluated, our data clearly demonstrate a significant role of the PDGFRα Lin + HCs in physiological hematopoiesis in adult mice.
