In hematopoiesis, co-expression of Sca-1 and c-Kit defines cells (LS⁺K) with long term reconstituting potential. In contrast, poorly characterized LS^–K cells fail to reconstitute lethally irradiated recipients. Relative quantification mass spectrometry and transcriptional profiling were used to characterize LS⁺K and LS^–K cells. This approach yielded data on >1200 proteins. Only 32% of protein changes correlated to mRNA modulation demonstrating post-translational protein regulation in early hematopoietic development. LS⁺K cells had lower expression of protein synthesis proteins but did express proteins associated with mature cell function. Major increases in erythroid development proteins were observed in LS^–K cells; based on this assessment of erythroid potential we showed them to be principally erythroid progenitors, demonstrating effective use of discovery proteomics for definition of primitive cells.
