Definitive hematopoietic cells are generated de novo during ontogeny from a specialized subset of endothelium, the so-called hemogenic endothelium. In this review we give a brief overview of the identification of hemogenic endothelium, explore its links with the HSC lineage, and summarize recent insights into the nature of hemogenic endothelium and the microenvironmental and intrinsic regulators contributing to its transition into blood. Ultimately, a better understanding of the processes controlling the transition of endothelium into blood will advance the generation and expansion of hematopoietic stem cells for therapeutic purposes.

Most blood cells derive from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), originating from endothelial cells. The induction of HSCs from endothelial cells occurs during mid-gestation, and research has revealed multiple steps in this induction process. Hemogenic endothelial cells emerge within the endothelium, transition to hematopoietic cells (pre-HSCs), and subsequently mature into functional HSCs.

During mouse development, hematopoietic cells first form in the extraembryonic tissue yolk sac. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which retain their ability to differentiate into hematopoietic cells for a long time, form intra-aortic hematopoietic cell clusters (IAHCs) in the dorsal aorta at midgestation. These IAHCs emerge from the hemogenic endothelium, which is the common progenitor of hematopoietic cells and endothelial cells.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) sustain life-long hematopoiesis and emerge during mid-gestation from hemogenic endothelial progenitors via an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). The full scope of molecular mechanisms governing this process remains unclear. The NR4A subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors act as tumor suppressors in myeloid leukemogenesis and have never been implicated in HSC specification.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) develop from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) during mouse embryogenesis. Understanding the signaling molecules required for HSC development is crucial for the in vitro derivation of HSCs. We previously induced HSCs from embryonic HECs, isolated at embryonic day 10.

Mammalian hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) emerge from the hemogenic endothelium in the major embryonic arteries. HSCs undergo a complex journey first migrating to the fetal liver (FL) and from there to the fetal bone marrow (FBM), where they mostly remain during adult life. In this process, a pool of adult HSCs is produced, which sustains lifelong hematopoiesis.
