Aging-induced pseudouridine synthase 10 impairs hematopoietic stem cells

ABSTRACT: Aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) exhibit compromised reconstitution capacity and differentiation-bias towards myeloid lineage. However, the molecular mechanism behind it remains not fully understood. In this study, we evaluated the expression of 5 pseudouridine (Ψ) synthases between young and aged HSCs, and observed that three of them are increased during aging. Functional evaluation assay reveals that enforced PUS10 and PUS7 recapitulate the phenotype aged HSCs. The increase of PUS10 in aged HSCs is due to aging-declined CRL4DCAF1-mediated ubiquitination degradation signaling. Mechanistically, the destructive role of enforced PUS10 on HSCs is not achieved by its Ψ synthases activity, but through miR139, dysfunction of which impairs the reconstitution capacity of HSCs. Consistently, we observed no difference of tRNA pseudouridylation profile between young and aged HSPCs, while enforced PUS10 alters the microRNA profile in HSCs. Targeted dysfunction of Pus10 results in compromises the self-renewal capacity of HSC.

Project description:Hematopoietic aging is associated with decreased hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal capacity and increased risk for myelodysplasia and leukemia. Deficient DNA repair contributes to the decline in HSC self-renewal capacity during aging and it remains unclear whether extrinsic signals can rejuvenate aged HSCs. Here, we demonstrate that augmentation of non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair in aged HSCs via treatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF) rejuvenates HSC function. Seven day culture of BM CD34-ckit+sca-1+lin- (34-KSL) HSCs from aged C57BL/6 mice with EGF suppressed myeloid skewing and increased production of multipotent CFU-granulocyte, erythroid, monocyte and megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) colonies. Aged, EGF-treated HSCs displayed increased donor multilineage engraftment in primary competitively transplanted mice and in secondary mice compared to mice transplanted with aged, control HSCs. Donor cell engraftment within the bone marrow (BM) KSL and SLAM+KSL HSC population was > 2-fold increased in mice transplanted with aged, EGF-treated HSCs. Systemic administration of EGF to aged mice for 6 weeks also increased long term – HSC self-renewal capacity as measured by increased donor bone marrow (BM) competitive repopulation in primary and secondary transplanted mice. Conversely, deletion of EGFR in Scl/Tal1+ hematopoietic cells was associated with increased myeloid skewing and depletion of LT-HSCs in middle aged mice. Mechanistically, EGF treatment decreased DNA damage in aged HSCs through activation of DNA PK-cs, Artemis and NHEJ repair. Inhibition of DNA PK-cs blocked EGF-mediated restoration of multipotent differentiation and suppression of myeloid skewing in aged HSCs, suggesting that the restoration of hematopoietic potential in aged HSCs is dependent on EGF-mediated activation of DNA PK-cs. EGF treatment also converted the transcriptome of aged HSCs from enrichment for genes involved in cell death and survival to genes involved in HSC generation and identity. These data suggest that extrinsic activation of EGFR signaling can restore key functional capacities in aged HSCs.
