Dynamics of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell differentiation to the erythroid lineage
Natascha Schippel, Shalini Sharma
Abstract
•Development of red blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells is a complex, dynamic, and hierarchical process.•Multiple immunophenotypic strategies exist for analysis of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and erythroid cells.•Flow cytometry and single-cell RNA-sequencing studies have indicated heterogeneity within populations.•HSPCs exhibit a continuum of lineage priming, producing unipotent progenitors.•Systematic analysis is required to establish a standard set of erythroid markers. Erythropoiesis, the development of erythrocytes from hematopoietic stem cells, occurs through four phases: erythroid progenitor (EP) development, early erythropoiesis, terminal erythroid differentiation (TED), and maturation. According to the classical model that is based on immunophenotypic profiles of cell populations, each of these phases comprises multiple differentiation states that arise in a hierarchical manner. After segregation of lymphoid potential, erythroid priming begins during progenitor development and progresses through progenitor cell types that have multilineage potential. Complete separation of the erythroid lineage is achieved during early erythropoiesis with the formation of unipotent EPs: burst-forming unit-erythroid and colony-forming unit-erythroid. These erythroid-committed progenitors undergo TED and maturation, which involves expulsion of the nucleus and remodeling to form functional biconcave, hemoglobin-filled erythrocytes. In the last decade or so, many studies employing advanced techniques such as single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) as well as the conventional methods, including colony-forming cell assays and immunophenotyping, have revealed heterogeneity within the stem, progenitor, and erythroblast stages, and uncovered alternate paths for segregation of erythroid lineage potential. In this review, we provide an in-depth account of immunophenotypic profiles of all cell types within erythropoiesis, highlight studies that demonstrate heterogeneous erythroid stages, and describe deviations to the classical model of erythropoiesis. Overall, although scRNA-seq approaches have provided new insights, flow cytometry remains relevant and is the primary method for validation of novel immunophenotypes.

Mature human erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), are terminally differentiated biconcave disc-shaped cells that are 2.0–2.5 μm thick and 7 μm in diameter. RBCs lack a nucleus, as well as other intracellular organelles, and have a cytoplasm filled with hemoglobin (Hb) (∼250 million molecules per cell), which enables them to efficiently carry out their primary, integral function: transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide [1Corrons JLV Casafont LB Frasnedo EF. Concise review: how do red blood cells born, live, and die?.Ann Hematol. 2021; 100: 2425-2433Crossref PubMed Scopus (3) Google Scholar]. RBCs are the most abundant cell type in peripheral blood (PB), with a lifespan of 100–120 days in humans and maintenance of their levels requires daily production of ∼2 × 1011 cells (∼2 × 106 cells/second) [1Corrons JLV Casafont LB Frasnedo EF.

Defects in RBC production result in anemia, which affects nearly one-third of the world's population and is associated with a wide variety of systemic pathologies ranging from vitamin deficiency to cancer [3Stevens GA Paciorek CJ Flores-Urrutia MC et al.National, regional, and global estimates of anaemia by severity in women and children for 2000-19: a pooled analysis of population-representative data.Lancet Glob Health. 2022; 10: e627-e639Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (36) Google Scholar,4Chaparro CM Suchdev PS.

Even mild anemia can be indicative of serious underlying diseases, including malignancy, HIV or other infections, renal insufficiency, and thalassemia. In adult humans, mature circulating RBCs are derived from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow (BM) through the highly regulated process of erythropoiesis. The key driver of erythropoiesis is erythropoietin (EPO), an endogenous cytokine, which is produced by the kidneys and released in response to low PB oxygen [5Tsiftsoglou AS.

The classical model for erythropoiesis posits a hierarchical process that progresses through four phases: erythroid progenitor (EP) development, early erythropoiesis, terminal erythroid differentiation (TED), and erythrocyte maturation (Figure 1) [7Dzierzak E Philipsen S.

Early in hematopoiesis, HSCs form multipotent progenitors (MPPs), which in turn give rise to common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) or common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) (Figure 1A) [10Kondo M Weissman IL Akashi K.
