BRIEF REPORT

The aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region is a potent hematopoietic
site in the midgestation mouse conceptus and first contains colony-forming units-spleen day 11 (CFU-S11) at embryonic
day 10 (E10). Because CFU-S11 activity is present in the
AGM region before the onset of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity,
CFU-S11 activity in the complex developing vascular and
urogenital regions of the AGM was localized. From E10 onward,
CFU-S11 activity is associated with the aortic vasculature,
and is found also in the urogenital ridges (UGRs). Together with data
obtained from organ explant cultures, in which up to a 16-fold increase
in CFU-S11 activity was observed, it was determined that
CFU-S11 can be increased autonomously both in vascular
sites and in UGRs. Furthermore, CFU-S11 activity is present
in vitelline and umbilical vessels. This, together with the
presence of CFU-S11 in the UGRs 2 days before HSC activity,
suggests both temporally and spatially distinct emergent sources of
CFU-S11.
