Abstract

The transcription factor PU.1 is required for the development of mature myeloid and lymphoid cells. Due to this essential role and the importance of PU.1 in regulating several signature markers of lymphoid progenitors, its precise function in early lymphopoiesis has been difficult to define. Here, we demonstrate that PU.1 was required for efficient generation of lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors (LMPPs) from hematopoietic stem cells and was essential for the subsequent formation of common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs). By contrast, further differentiation into the B-cell lineage was independent of PU.1. Examination of the transcriptional changes in conditional progenitors revealed that PU.1 activates lymphoid genes in LMPPs, while repressing genes normally expressed in neutrophils. These data identify PU.1 as a critical regulator of lymphoid priming and the transition between LMPPs and CLPs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 June 2018.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in immunology
#24,759
of 31,537 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#265,975
of 341,432 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in immunology
#626
of 744 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 31,537 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,432 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 744 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
