Project description:The decline of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function upon aging contributes to the senescent immune remodeling and to leukemia pathogenesis. Aged HSCs show changes in their epigenome, like alterations in the global and local DNA/histone methylation and histone acetylation landscape. Previously, we showed a correlation between high Cdc42 activity and the loss of intra-nuclear epigenetic polarity (epipolarity), as indicated by the specific location of histone H4 lysine 16 acetylation (H4K16ac). Here, we show that not all histone modifications display a polar localization and that loss of H4K16ac amount and epipolarity is specific to aged HSCs. Increased levels of H4K16ac are insufficient to restore polarity in aged HSCs and for the restoration of HSC function. Changes in H4K16ac upon aging and rejuvenation of HSCs are correlated to a shift of chromosome 11 architecture and nuclear volume and shape. Surprisingly, by taking advantage of knock-out mouse models we demonstrate that increased Cdc42 activity levels correlate with the repression of LaminA/C expression, which control chromosome 11 distribution, H4K16ac polarity and the nuclear volume and shape of aged HSCs. These chromatin and epigenetic architecture changes are targeted by altering the activity of the small RhoGTPase Cdc42, that regulates LaminA/C. Collectively, our data show that chromatin architecture changes in stem cells are reversible by changing levels of Cdc42 activity, revealing an unanticipated way to pharmacologically target LaminA/C expression and revert alterations of the epigenetic architecture in aged HSCs.

Project description:Asrij deletion in mice causes loss of HSC quiescence, myeloid skewing, reduced p53 and increased DNA damage, features attributed to aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). To identify the pathways and processes driving the observed HSC aging-like phenotypes upon asrij depletion and to compare the asrij KO transcriptome with aged wild type HSCs, we performed RNA-seq gene expression profiling of Lin- Sca-1+ c-Kit+ CD150+ CD48- stem cells isolated from asrij KO or asrij floxed (control) mouse bone marrow. Our results identify Asrij as a potential driver of aging-like alterations in HSCs and the RNA-seq based transcriptome could help identify additional aging biomarkers and develop strategies to rejuvenate aged HSCs or prevent premature HSC aging.

Project description:During X chromosome inactivation (XCI), the inactive X chromosome (Xi) is recruited to the nuclear lamina at the periphery of the nucleus. Beside X chromosome (X chr) reactivation resulting in a highly penetrant aging-like hematopoietic malignancy, little is known about XCI in aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) . Here, we demonstrate that LaminA/C defines a distinct repressive nuclear compartment for XCI in young HSCs, and its reduction in aged HSCs correlates with an impairment in the overall control of XCI. Integrated omics analyses reveal higher variation in gene expression, global hypomethylation and significantly increased chromatin accessibility on the X chr in aged HSCs. In summary, our data support the role of LaminA/C in the establishment of a special repressive compartment for XCI in HSCs, which is impaired upon aging.

Project description:Loss of immune function and an increased incidence of myeloid leukemia are two of the most clinically significant consequences of aging of the hematopoietic system. To better understand the mechanisms underlying hematopoietic aging, we evaluated the cell intrinsic functional and molecular properties of highly purified long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) from young and old mice. We found that LT-HSC aging was accompanied by cell autonomous changes, including increased stem cell self-renewal, differential capacity to generate committed myeloid and lymphoid progenitors, and diminished lymphoid potential. Expression profiling revealed that LT-HSC aging was accompanied by the systemic down-regulation of genes mediating lymphoid specification and function and up-regulation of genes involved in specifying myeloid fate and function. Moreover, LT-HSCs from old mice expressed elevated levels of many genes involved in leukemic transformation. These data support a model in which age-dependent alterations in gene expression at the stem cell level presage downstream developmental potential and thereby contribute to age-dependent immune decline, and perhaps also to the increased incidence of leukemia in the elderly.

Project description:Increasing evidence links metabolic activity and cell growth to decline in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function during aging. The Lin28b/Hmga2 pathway controls tissue development and in the hematopoietic system the postnatal downregulation of this pathway causes a decrease in self renewal of adult HSCs compared to fetal HSCs. Igf2bp2 is an RNA binding protein and a mediator of the Lin28b/Hmga2 pathway, which regulates metabolism and growth signaling by influencing RNA stability and translation of its target genes. It is currently unknown whether Lin28/Hmga2/Igf2bp2 signaling impacts on aging-associated impairments in HSC function and hematopoiesis. Here, we analyzed homozygous Igf2bp2 germline knockout mice and wildtype control animals to address this question. The study shows that Igf2bp2 deletion rescues aging phenotypes of the hematopoietic system, such as the expansion of HSC numbers in bone marrow and the biased increase of myeloid cells in peripheral blood. This rescue of hematopoietic aging coincides with reduced mitochondrial metabolism and glycolysis in Igf2bp2-/- HSCs compared to Igf2bp2+/+ HSCs. Conversely, Igf2bp2 overexpression activates protein synthesis pathways in HSCs and leads to a rapid loss of self renewal by enhancing myeloid skewed differentiation in an mTOR/PI3K-dependent manner. Together, these results show that Igf2bp2 regulates energy metabolism and growth signaling in HSCs and that the activity of this pathways influences self renewal, differentiation, and aging of HSCs.

Project description:The nuclear lamina constitutes more than a structural scaffold for the nucleus and plays a crucial role in protection of genomic integrity. Here we report that the loss of the lysine acetyl-transferase (KAT) MOF leads to nuclear architecture defects during interphase including micronuclei formation. We identify Lamin A/C, a major component of the nuclear lamina, to be an acetylation target of MOF. A point mutation in Lamin A phenocopies nuclear morphology defects observed upon Mof-deletion. Through single cell DNA sequencing, we reveal that either loss of Mof or Lamin A mutation result in extensive genomic instability, including chromothripsis. Our work establishes MOF-dependent Lamin acetylation as a key regulator of nuclear architecture maintenance in mammals.
