Accumulating Mitochondrial DNA Mutations Drive Premature Hematopoietic Aging Phenotypes Distinct from Physiological Stem Cell Aging

Abstract: Somatic stem cells mediate tissue maintenance for the lifetime of an organism. Despite the well-established longevity that is a prerequisite for such function, accumulating data argue for compromised stem cell function with age. Identifying the mechanisms underlying age-dependent stem cell dysfunction is therefore key to understanding the aging process. Here, using a model carrying a proofreading-defective mitochondrial DNA polymerase, we demonstrate hematopoietic defects reminiscent of premature HSC aging, in… Show more

“…The accumulation of mitochondrial mutations (and decreased mitochondrial function) does not affect HSC self-renewal but impairs normal differentiation of erythroid and B lineages. 23 These results suggest that hematopoietic progenitors are more severely affected by the accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations than are HSCs, consistent with the increasing reliance of progenitors on intact mitochondrial function.…”

“…Upregulation of glycolysis by HIF-1α in HSCs increases pyruvate incorporation into the TCA cycle [10]. However, HSCs contain fewer mitochondria than differentiated cells [19,20], and mitochondrial morphology in HSCs is immature relative to that seen in differentiated cells, indicative of low mitochondrial membrane potential and low NADH levels. In fact, HSCs depend less on OXPHOS, based on findings that ATPdependent dye efflux activity in HSCs is maintained in the presence of an inhibitor of cytochrome oxidase [10].…”

“…They also show an accelerated age-related loss of retinal function (Kong et al 2011). Interestingly, this high mitochondrial mutation load alters the ability of hematopoietic stem cell lineages to undergo appropriate differentiation, leading to defects such as anaemia and lymphopenia similar to those caused by the premature senescence of this compartment (Norddahl et al 2011). Hence loss of mtDNA integrity via loss of the proofreading function of polymerase γ is strongly associated with ageing.…”
