The connections between energy metabolism and stemness of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) at different developmental stages remain largely unknown. We generated a transgenic mouse line for the genetically encoded NADH/NAD+ sensor (SoNar) and dem-onstrate that there are 3 distinct fetal liver hematopoietic cell populations according to the ratios of SoNar fluorescence. SoNar-low cells had an enhanced level of mitochondrial res-piration but a glycolytic level similar to that of SoNar-high cells. Interestingly, 10% of SoNar-low cells were enriched for 65% of total immunophenotypic fetal liver HSCs (FL-HSCs) and contained approximately fivefold more functional HSCs than their SoNar-high counterparts. SoNar was able to monitor sensitively the dynamic changes of energy metabolism in HSCs both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, STAT3 transactivated MDH1 to sustain the malate-aspartate NADH shuttle activity and HSC self-renewal and differentiation. We reveal an unexpected metabolic program of FL-HSCs and provide a powerful genetic tool for meta-bolic studies of HSCs or other types of stem cells.
