Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is essential for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal; however, the mechanism by which mitochondrial metabolism controls HSC fate remains unknown. Here, we show that within the hematopoietic lineage, HSCs have the largest mitochondrial NADPH pools, w...
The long-term maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) relies on the regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress at a low level, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that suppression of ER stress improves the functions of HSCs and protects HSCs again...

Iron is an essential element for several cellular processes and recent evidence highlighted its role in regulating the function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). When in excess it reduces quiescence and self-renewal, however, whether and how iron influences HSC metabolism is still unknown. Here, w...
In the human hematopoietic system, aging is associated with decreased bone marrow cellularity, decreased adaptive immune system function, and increased incidence of anemia and other hematological disorders and malignancies. Recent studies in mice suggest that changes within the hematopoietic stem ce...
Gene expression of LT-HSC (CD150+Flt3-lin-Sca-Kit+) hematopoietic stem cells from wild type mice was compared with LT-HSC from Cebpa knock-in mutant mice (K/L mutants). Fetal liver cells for each genotype were competitively transplanted into irradiant recipients. Donor-derived LT-HSC cells were iso...
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mutations can result in clonal hematopoiesis (CH) with heterogeneous clinical outcomes. Here, we investigated how the cell state preceding Tet2 mutation impacts the pre-malignant phenotype. Using an inducible system for clonal analysis of myeloid progenitors...
The global gene expression profiles of human umbilical cord blood and adult bone marrow CD34+CD33-CD38-Rho(lo)c-kit+ cells, enriched for hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC) with CD34+CD33-CD38-Rho(hi) cells, enriched in committed hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), were compared to identify ...
