During embryogenesis, lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells are essential for
lymph node organogenesis. These cells are part of the innate lymphoid cell (ILC)
family. Although their earliest embryonic hematopoietic origin is unclear, other
innate immune cells have been shown to be derived from early hemogenic
endothelium in the yolk sac as well as the aorta-gonad-mesonephros. A proper
model to discriminate between these locations was unavailable. In this study,
using a Cxcr4-CreERT2 lineage tracing model, we identify a major contribution
from embryonic hemogenic endothelium, but not the yolk sac, toward LTi
progenitors. Conversely, embryonic LTi cells are replaced by hematopoietic stem
cell-derived cells in adults. We further show that, in the fetal liver, common
lymphoid progenitors differentiate into highly dynamic alpha-lymphoid precursor
cells that, at this embryonic stage, preferentially mature into LTi precursors
and establish their functional LTi cell identity only after reaching the
periphery.
