Abstract

Transcription factor PU.1 is required for the development of lymphoid and myeloid progenitors during fetal hematopoiesis. By generating chimeric animals using PU.1-/- ES cells or PU.1(-/-) hematopoietic progenitors, we demonstrate that PU.1 functions in an exclusively cell-autonomous manner to regulate the development of the lymphoid-myeloid system. Multipotential lymphoid-myeloid progenitors (AA4.1+, Lin-) are significantly reduced in PU.1(-/-) embryos and fail to differentiate into B lymphoid or myeloid cells in vitro. These results suggest that the lymphoid and myeloid lineages develop in the fetal liver from a common hematopoietic progenitor not shared with erythrocytes and megakaryocytes. Finally, the Ikaros gene is expressed in PU.1 mutant embryos, suggesting that PU.1 and Ikaros are independently required for specification of embryonic lymphoid cell fates.
