During ontogeny, the hematopoietic system is established from
mesoderm-derived precursors; however, molecular events regulating the onset of hematopoiesis are not well characterized. Several members
of the transforming growth factor (TGF- ) superfamily have been implicated as playing a role during mesoderm specification and hematopoiesis. CD105 (endoglin) is an accessory receptor for members of the TGF- superfamily. Here it is reported that
during the differentiation of murine embryonic stem (ES) cells in
vitro, hematopoietic commitment within Flk1+ mesodermal
precursor populations is characterized by CD105 expression. In
particular, CD105 is expressed during the progression from the
Flk1+CD45 to
Flk1 CD45+ stage. The developmentally
regulated expression of CD105 suggests that it may play a role during
early hematopoiesis from Flk1+ precursors. To determine
whether CD105 plays a functional role during early hematopoietic
development, the potential of CD105-deficient ES cells to differentiate
into various hematopoietic lineages in vitro was assessed. In the
absence of CD105, myelopoiesis and definitive erythropoiesis were
severely impaired. In contrast, lymphopoiesis appeared to be only
mildly affected. Thus, these findings suggest that the regulated
expression of CD105 functions to support lineage-specific
hematopoietic development from Flk1+ precursors.
