Organelle dysfunction upon asrij depletion causes aging-like changes in mouse hematopoietic stem cells
Asrij deletion in mice causes loss of HSC quiescence, myeloid skewing, reduced p53 and increased DNA damage, features attributed to aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). To identify the pathways and processes driving the observed HSC aging-like phenotypes upon asrij depletion and to compare the asrij KO transcriptome with aged wild type HSCs, we performed RNA-seq gene expression profiling of Lin- Sca-1+ c-Kit+ CD150+ CD48- stem cells isolated from asrij KO or asrij floxed (control) mouse bone marrow. Our results identify Asrij as a potential driver of aging-like alterations in HSCs and the RNA-seq based transcriptome could help identify additional aging biomarkers and develop strategies to rejuvenate aged HSCs or prevent premature HSC aging. Overall design: This dataset contains RNA-seq experiments for four replicates of long-term HSCs isolated from asrij floxed or asrij KO mice.
