Aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is associated with a decline in their regenerative capacity and multilineage differentiation potential, contributing to the development of blood disorders. The bone marrow microenvironment has recently been suggested to influence HSC aging, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we show that HSC aging critically depends on bone marrow innervation by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), as loss of SNS nerves or adrenoreceptor β3 signaling in the bone marrow microenvironment of young mice led to premature HSC aging, as evidenced by appearance of HSC phenotypes reminiscent of physiological aging. Strikingly, supplementation of a sympathomimetic acting selectively on adrenoreceptor β3 to old mice significantly rejuvenated the in vivo function of aged HSCs, suggesting that the preservation or restitution of bone marrow SNS innervation during aging may hold the potential for new HSC rejuvenation strategies.
造血干细胞(HSCs)的衰老与其再生能力和多谱系分化潜能的下降有关,这导致了血液疾病的发展。最近有研究表明,骨髓微环境会影响 HSC 的衰老,但其中的潜在机制在很大程度上仍不清楚。在这里,我们发现 HSC 的衰老严重依赖于骨髓中交感神经系统(SNS)的神经支配,因为年轻小鼠的骨髓微环境中 SNS 神经或肾上腺素能受体 β3 信号的缺失会导致 HSC 过早衰老,这表现在 HSC 表型出现类似于生理衰老的特征。引人注目的是,向老年小鼠补充一种选择性作用于肾上腺素能受体 β3 的拟交感神经药物,可显著增强老年 HSCs 的体内功能,这表明在衰老过程中保持或恢复骨髓 SNS 神经支配可能为新的 HSC 年轻化策略提供了潜力。
