In the current understanding of adult bone marrow hematopoiesis, megakaryocytes (MKs) originate from cells immuno-phenotypically indistinguishable from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), bypassing intermediate progenitors. Here, we use single cell RNA sequencing to characterize HSCs and MKs from human bone marrow, to investigate MK lineage commitment and maturation. We identify two MK primed HSC clusters exhibiting unique differentiation kinetics, at least one of which is used in steady state and stress thrombopoiesis. By analyzing transcriptional signatures we show that human bone marrow MKs originate from MK primed HSC subpopulations, supporting the notion that these display exclusive priming for MK differentiation. We show that transcriptional programs change with increasing MK ploidy, where genes upregulated in high ploidy states may have functional relevance in platelet production. Finally, we highlight the presence of a specific transcriptional signature in MKs from individuals with myocardial infarction, supporting the aberration of MK differentiation in this thrombotic state.
