Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain hematopoiesis by giving rise to all types of blood cells. Recent reports suggest that HSCs also possess potential to generate non-hematopoietic tissues. To evaluate the underlying mechanisms in the commitment of HSCs into multi-tissue and multi-hematopoietic lineages, we performed oligonucleotide array analyses targeting for prospectively purified HSCs, multipotent progenitors (MPPs), common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs), and common myeloid progenitors (CMPs). Here we show that HSCs co-express multiple non-hematopoietic genes as well as hematopoietic genes; MPPs co-express myeloid and lymphoid genes; CMPs coexpress myelo-erythroid, but not lymphoid genes, whereas CLPs co-express T, B and NK lymphoid, but not myeloid genes. Thus, the stepwise decrease in transcriptional accessibility for multiple lineage-affiliated genes may represent progressive restriction of developmental potentials in early hematopoiesis. These data support the hypothesis that stem cells possess a wide-open chromatin structure to maintain their multipotentiality, which is progressively quenched as they go down a particular pathway of differentiation.
