Neonatal and adult megakaryocytes differ in proliferative capacity and ploidy levels, and neonatal and adult platelets differ in function, gene expression, and protein content. The mechanisms underlying these differences are incompletely understood. CDK8 and CDK19 are transcriptional kinases part of the CDK-mediator complex, which regulates gene transcription in a cell-specific manner.

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a myeloid proliferative neoplasm (MPN) characterized by bone marrow (BM) fibrosis. Pre-fibrotic PMF (pre-PMF) progresses to overt PMF. Megakaryocytes (MKs) play a primary role in PMF; however, the functions of MK subsets and those of other hematopoietic cells during PMF progression remain unclarified.

Here we report our investigation on the fetal liver (FL) as the primary fetal hematopoietic site using spatial transcriptomics. Our study reveals two distinct niches: the portal-vessel (PV) niche and the sinusoidal niche.

GATA1 is a highly conserved hematopoietic transcription factor (TF), essential for normal erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis, that encodes a full-length, predominant isoform and an amino (N) terminus-truncated isoform GATA1s. It is consistently expressed throughout megakaryocyte development and interacts with its target genes either independently or in association with binding partners such as FOG1 (friend of GATA1). While the N-terminus and zinc finger have classically been demonstrated to be necessary for the normal regulation of platelet-specific genes, murine models, cell-line studies, and human case reports indicate that the carboxy-terminal activation domain and zinc finger also play key roles in precisely controlling megakaryocyte growth, proliferation, and maturation.
