Targeting RhoA nuclear mechanoactivity rejuvenates aged hematopoietic stem cells [bulk RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Biomechanical alterations contribute to the decreased regenerative capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) upon aging. RhoA is a key regulator of mechanosignaling, but its role in mechanotransduction in stem cell aging remains unclear. Here we show that murine HSCs respond to increased nuclear envelope (NE) tension by inducing NE translocation of P-cPLA2, which cell-intrinsically activates RhoA. Aged HSCs experience physiologically higher intrinsic NE tension, but reducing RhoA activity lowers NE tension in aged HSCs. Feature image analysis of HSC nuclei reveals that chromatin remodeling is associated with RhoA inhibition, including restoration of youthful levels of the heterochromatin marker H3K9me2 and a decrease in chromatin accessibility and transcription at retrotransposons. Finally, we demonstrate that RhoA inhibition upregulates Klf4 expression and transcriptional activity, improving aged HSC regenerative capacity and lympho/myeloid skewing in vivo. Together, our data outline an intrinsic RhoA-dependent mechanosignaling axis, which can be pharmacologically targeted to restore aged stem cell function.

P-selectin identifies molecularly and functionally aged long-term hematopoietic stem cells in Mus musculus C57BL/6 female mice

Project description:Aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) display myeloid-biased differentiation and reduced regenerative potential. In this study, we uncover that P-selectin (Selp) marks a subset of aged HSCs with reduced repopulation capacity. This population of HSCs expresses a prominent aging transcriptome. Overexpression of Selp in young HSCs impaired long-term reconstitution potential and repressed erythropoiesis. We show that IL-1β is elevated in aged bone marrow and administration of IL-1β induces expression of Selp and other aging-associated genes in HSCs. Finally, we demonstrate that transplantation of aged HSCs into young recipients restores a young-like transcriptome, specifically by repressing pro-inflammatory pathways, highlighting the important role of the bone marrow microenvironment in HSC aging.

Hematopoietic stem cells in perisinusoidal niches are protected from ageing [young and aged BM CD45-CD31+ endothelial cells]

Project description:With ageing, intrinsic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity decreases, resulting in impaired tissue homeostasis, reduced engraftment following transplantation and increased susceptibility to diseases. However, whether ageing affects also the HSC niche impairing the capacity to support HSC function is still largely unknown. Here, by using in-vivo long-term label retention assays we demonstrate that aged labelling retaining (LR) HSCs, which are in the old mice the most quiescent HSC subpopulation with the highest regenerative capacity and cellular polarity, reside predominantly in perisinusoidal niches. Furthermore, we demonstrate that sinusoidal niches and perisinusoidal Nes-GFPlow cells are uniquely preserved in shape, morphology and number upon ageing. Finally, we show that myeloablative chemotherapy can selectively disrupt aged sinusoidal niches, which is linked to hematopoietic failure and decreased survival of aged mice. Overall, our data characterize for the first time the functional alterations of the aged HSC niche and unveil that perisinusoidal niches are uniquely preserved and protect HSCs from ageing.

Transplanting rejuvenated blood stem cells extends lifespan of aged immunocompromised mice [scRNA-seq of LSK cells]

Project description:One goal of regenerative medicine is to rejuvenate tissues and extend lifespan by restoring the function of endogenous aged stem cells. However, evidence that somatic stem cells can be targeted in vivo to extend lifespan is still lacking. Here, we demonstrate that after a short systemic treatment with a specific inhibitor of the small RhoGTPase Cdc42 (CASIN), transplanting aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from treated mice is sufficient to extend the healthspan and lifespan of aged immunocompromised mice without additional treatment. In detail, we show that systemic CASIN treatment improves strength and endurance of aged mice by increasing the myogenic regenerative potential of aged skeletal muscle stem cells. Further, we show that CASIN modifies niche localization and H4K16ac polarity of HSCs in vivo. Single cell profiling reveals changes in HSC transcriptome, which underlie enhanced lymphoid and regenerative capacity in serial transplantation assays. Overall, we provide proof-of-concept evidence that a short systemic treatment to decrease Cdc42 activity improves the regenerative capacity of different endogenous aged stem cells in vivo, and that rejuvenated HSCs exert a broad systemic effect sufficient to extend murine health- and lifespan.

Mitochondria-enriched hematopoietic stem cells exhibit elevated self-renewal capabilities, thriving within the context of aged bone marrow [single cell multiome]

Project description:The aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) significantly alters their characteristics. Mitochondria, essential for cellular metabolism, play a crucial role, and their dysfunction is a hallmark of aging-induced changes. The impact of mitochondrial mass on aged HSCs remains incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that HSCs with high mitochondrial mass during aging are not merely cells that have accumulated damaged mitochondria and become exhausted. Instead, these HSCs retain a high regenerative capacity and remain in the aging bone marrow. Furthermore, we identified GPR183 as a novel marker characterizing aged HSCs through single-cell analysis. HSCs marked by GPR183 were also enriched in aged HSCs with high mitochondrial mass, possessing a high capacity of self-renewal. These insights deepen our understanding of HSC aging and provide new perspectives on the assessment of aged HSCs, underscoring the importance of mitochondrial dynamics in the aging.
