Popis: SummaryLoss of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence and resulting clonal expansion are common initiating events in the development of hematological malignancy. Likewise, chronic inflammation related to aging, disease and/or tissue damage is associated with leukemia progression, though its role in oncogenesis is not clearly defined. Here, we show that PU.1-dependent repression of protein synthesis and cell cycle genes in HSC enforces homeostatic protein synthesis levels and HSC quiescence in response to IL-1 stimulation. These genes are constitutively de-repressed in PU.1-deficient HSC, leading to activation of protein synthesis, loss of quiescence and aberrant expansion of HSC. Taken together, our data identify a mechanism whereby HSC regulate their cell cycle activity and pool size in response to chronic inflammatory stress.
