Abstract

Summary Aging of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment is characterized by lineage bias and reduced stem cell function, the molecular basis of which is largely unknown. Using single-cell transcriptomics, we identified a distinct subpopulation of old HSCs carrying a p53 signature indicative of stem cell decline alongside pro-proliferative JAK/STAT signaling. To investigate the relationship between JAK/STAT and p53 signaling, we challenged HSCs with a constitutively active form of JAK2 (V617F) and observed an expansion of the p53-positive subpopulation in old mice. Our results reveal cellular heterogeneity in the onset of HSC aging and implicate a role for JAK2V617F-driven proliferation in the p53-mediated functional decline of old HSCs.<br />Graphical Abstract<br />Highlights • Single-cell transcriptomics reveals functional decline in old HSCs • p53-associated functional decline is driven by prolonged proliferation • Subpopulation of HSCs show aging signature, revealing heterogeneity in the rate of aging<br />Kirschner et al. describe heterogeneous aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), with a subset of old HSCs displaying signs of functional exhaustion. An increase in proliferation expands the aged HSC subgroup, linking prolonged proliferation to functional decline in HSCs.
