Little is known about the relations of telomere lengths among leukocyte subsets and between leukocytes and cells up the hematopoietic hierarchy. This information is relevant, since telomere dynamics in granulocytes were postulated to mirror those of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). We examined in newborns’ cord blood (UCB) the relationships of telomere length in hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) (CD34+CD45−) with that in T lymphocytes and in granulocytes. In addition, we correlated telomere length in granulocytes with that in whole leukocyte samples of individuals with age range between birth and 100 years. In the UCB, we found strong correlations of telomere length in HPCs with telomere lengths in T lymphocytes (r ranging from 0.882–0.935, p ranging from 0.0038–0.0007) and in granulocytes (r=0.930, p=0.0072). At birth, strong correlations were also observed between telomere length in granulocytes and that in all leukocytes (r=0.979, p=0.0003). Throughout the human lifespan, the relationship between telomere length in granulocytes and that in all leukocytes was r>0.980, p<0.0001. Robust synchrony exists among leukocyte subsets throughout the human lifespan; individuals with relatively long (or short) telomeres in one leukocyte subset have long (or short) telomeres in other leukocyte subsets. Moreover, telomere length in leukocytes reflects its length in cells up the hematopoietic hierarchy, i.e., HPCs and, by inference, HSCs. Strong links have been found by many studies between leukocyte telomere length and a host of aging-related diseases. Our findings suggest, therefore, that that these links might be traced to telomere dynamics in HSCs.
