Foxm1 is known as a typical proliferation-associated transcription factor. Here we found that Foxm1 was essential for maintenance of the quiescence and self-renewal capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vivo in mice. Reducing expression of FOXM1 also decreased the quiescence of human CD34(+) HSCs and progenitor cells, and its downregulation was associated with a subset of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Mechanistically, Foxm1 directly bound to the promoter region of the gene encoding th ...[more]
