Epigenetic control of hematopoietic stem cell aging the case of Ezh2

Gerald De Haan et al. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2007 Jun.

Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cells have potent, but not unlimited, selfrenewal potential. The mechanisms that restrict selfrenewal are likely to play a role during aging. Recent data suggest that the regulation of histone modifications by Polycomb group genes may be of crucial relevance to balance selfrenewal and aging. We provide evidence for the involvement of one of these Polycomb group genes, Ezh2, in aging of the hematopoietic stem cell system.
