Using FLT3 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 as markers, the mouse bone marrow LSK compartment was subfractionated into populations that, in a stepwise manner, lose megakaryocyte/erythroid and then granulocyte/macrophage potentials, while sustaining B and T cell potential.

Using Ikaros reporter mice, lymphoid-primed MPPs were identified that suggest that the granulocyte/macrophage lineage can be generated through alternative pathways. The study also demonstrates that generation of lymphoid-primed MPPs is not dependent on Ikaros.

Global and single cell analysis revealed hierarchical organization of lineage programmes, with downregulation of transcriptional expression of megakaryocyte/erythroid genes from HSCs to LMPPs, sustained granulocyte/macrophage priming, and upregulation of common lymphoid (but not B and T cell specific) genes in LMPPs.
