Single Cell Transcriptome Mapping of Human Thymopoiesis Reveals a Continuum of Cell States During T-Lineage Specification and Commitment


ABSTRACT: Single cell studies elucidating the transcriptional continuum underpinning lineage commitment in the human bone marrow (BM) have advanced the understanding of hematopoiesis beyond the classic hierarchical model. However, T-lineage commitment, which occurs in the thymus remains incompletely defined. We mapped single cell transcriptomes spanning post-natal human thymopoiesis including the earliest progenitors. Instead of previously described discrete populations, transcriptional and lineage assay data resolved a continuum of novel cell states within CD34+ thymic progenitor cells. The initial stages of thymopoiesis involve multilineage priming of single cells followed by a gradual transition to T-commitment, a continuum previously undescribed outside the BM. Early progenitors express a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) like profile but unlike HSC show initiation of T-priming. Species related differences exist in the earliest progenitor cells.
