Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), defined as cells that can engraft an adult when transplanted, mature from precursors (pre-HSCs) that differentiate from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) in the embryo. Many signaling pathways required to generate the first hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in the embryo are well-characterized, but how HSCs mature from pre-HSCs is poorly understood. Here we show that "mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 7" (SMAD7), a negative regulator of transforming growth factor beta (TGF{beta}) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, is required for pre-HSC to HSC maturation. Deletion of Smad7 in endothelial cells allows the formation of pre-HSCs from HECs but impairs their maturation into HSCs. The data indicate that although TGF{beta} and BMP signaling are required for the generation of HECs and for HECs to undergo an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition to generate pre-HSCs, one or both pathways must be subsequently down-regulated for effective pre-HSC to HSC maturation.
