Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) give rise to all types of blood and immune cells. Throughout the life of an organism, the majority of HSCs are quiescent. A few HSCs, however, divide frequently to produces haematopoietic cells through a specific sequence: an HSC gives rise to a progenitor cell, which then matures into a multipotent progenitor and later into a restricted progenitor. Tight regulation of the rate of stem cell division and differentiation of the progenitor cells is important for the maintenance of the healthy blood and immune cell system. Accumulation of somatic mutations and genome defects in hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells is a common cause for adult cancers such as acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). How mutations accumulate and lead to cancers is however poorly understood. Defining the key predispositions and underlying mechanisms will enable a better prognosis of cancer and help a patient with individual therapies.
Recent research from the Grinenko group and collaborators uncovered unexpected occurrences during haematopoiesis. First, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can directly develop into progenitor cells, without a previous round of cell division and second, HSCs are activated in response to physiological stresses such as raised levels of erythropoietin and acute thrombocytopenia. The activation of HSCs is tightly regulated by the complex network between HSCs/progenitors and bone marrow niche cells. Both scenarios are potentially threatening a healthy balance of HSC and progenitor cells and may be associated with replication stress leading to DNA damage and genome instability. The Grinenko group is investigating DNA damages and the role of RNA:DNA hybrids (R-loops) in accelerating mutation rates in HSC upon different haematological stresses.
