摘要

Cellular senescence in stem cells compromises regenerative capacity,promotes chronic inflammation, and is implicated in aging. Hematopoietic stem andprogenitor cells (HSPCs) are responsible for producing mature blood cells, however,how cellular senescence influences their function is largely unknown. Here, we showthat JMJD3, a histone demethylase, activates cellular senescence by upregulatingp16Ink4a in competition with Polycomb group proteins,and reprograms HSPC integrity to overcome hematopoietic defects induced byreplicative and oncogenic stresses. Jmjd3deficiency does not alter global H3K27me3 levels, indicating that JMJD3epigenetically regulates specific and limited JMJD3 targets under stress. JMJD3deficiency also impairs stem cell potential, proper cell cycle regulation, and WNTpathway activation in HSPCs under stress. These impaired phenotypes are rescuedthrough exogenous and retroviral introduction of p16Ink4a. This JMJD3-p16INK4aaxis in hematopoiesis is age-dependent and is distinct from cellular senescence.Treatment with a selective JMJD3 inhibitor attenuates leukemic potential duringcellular senescence. Taken together, these results demonstrate thatJMJD3-p16INK4a mediates cellular senescence and playscritical roles in the functional integrity of HSPCs under stress.
