AbstractThe processes regulating hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) during aging are not fully understood1, but it is clear that the incidence of hematological malignancies increases with age, highlighting the importance of unravelling the cellular and molecular networks involved. Recently, we identified Hepatic Leukemia Factor (HLF) as an essential transcription factor in maintaining the HSC pool during regeneration2 and showed that failure to downregulate HLF leads to disrupted differentiation3.Here, we found that HLF is dispensable for hematopoiesis during systemic aging, but needed during stress-induced hematopoietic recovery of aged HSC after transplantation. Additionally, HLF was dispensable for leukemic initiation but required for disease propagation. Taken together, our findings demonstrate the existence of a HLF-dependent mechanism that uncouples stress-induced regeneration from hematopoietic homeostasis during aging, that can be used by malignant cells to gain stem cell properties to propagate the disease.Key pointsHLF is dispensable for HSC function and hematopoietic homeostasis during physiological aging, but crucial during stress induced regeneration.HLF supports the propagation of leukemia-initiating cells

Key Points p65 is an important factor in hematopoiesis through the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell function and lineage commitment. p65 controls the expression of genes encoding key factors that promote hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis.

Key Points Mitochondrial heat shock protein, mortalin, is essential for the maintenance of HSCs via the control of oxidative stress. Mortalin directly interact with DJ-1 to regulate ROS levels in the mitochondria of HSCs.

Key Points FLVCR deletion causes proerythroblast apoptosis and lethal anemia but leads to increased megakaryocyte ploidy and platelet counts. Loss of FLVCR is dispensable for hematopoietic stem cell function during steady-state and stress conditions.

Key Points The PAFc subunit, Cdc73, is required for the proliferation and proper epigenetic regulation of proleukemic oncogenes in AML cells. Disrupting the MLL-PAFc interaction selectively inhibits the growth of MLL-associated leukemic cells without altering normal hematopoietic stem cell function.

Key Points Inactivation of Suz12 results in a rapid and marked exhaustion of the HSC pool. Lymphoid development is completely dependent on PRC2, but numerous myeloid lineages develop in the absence of PRC2.
