Landscape of m6A modification in haematopoietic system unveils an essential role of IGF2BP2 in preserving haematopoietic stem cell function


ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an abundant modification on mRNA, and plays critical functions in various cellular processes, including cell fate determination and lineage transition. However, the landscape and dynamics of m6A modification in haematopoietic system remain unknown. Here, we delineate a comprehensive m6A landscape across haematopoietic hierarchy and uncover that IGF2BP2 is required for preserving haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) function. Our data reveal a marked cell-type- and haematopoietic-lineage-specific m6A landscape. Intriguingly, most m6A modifications arise in the early stat of haematopoiesis, and are critical in defining cellular states of HSCs. Moreover, m6A modification is the major factor in determining mRNA abundance in HSCs. Importantly, we find that higher expression of m6A reader IGF2BP2 is critical in controlling gene expression states and the functional maintenance of HSCs. IGF2BP2 deficiency induces apoptosis and quiescence loss, and substantially impairs the reconstitution capacity of HSCs. In addition, deletion of IGF2BP2 increases the mitochondrial activity of HSCs. Mechanistically, IGF2BP2 stabilizes Bmi1 mRNA in an m6A-dependent manner, which represses the expression of mitochondria-related genes. Collectively, our results present a fascinating portrait of m6A modification during haematopoiesis, and uncover a key role of IGF2BP2 in maintaining HSCs function by regulating Bmi1 stability and restraining mitochondrial activity.
