Abstract
Aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) show reduced reconstitution potential, limiting their use in transplantation settings in the clinic. We demonstrate here that exposure of aged HSCs ex vivo to a pH of 6.9 instead of the commonly used pH of 7.4 results in enhanced HSCs potential that is consistent with rejuvenation, including attenuation of the myeloid bias of aged HSC and restoration of a youthful frequency of epigenetic polarity. Rejuvenation of aged HSCs by pH 6.9 is, at least in part, due to alterations in the polyamine/methionine pathway within pH 6.9 HSCs, and consequently, attenuation of the production of spermidine also attenuated aging of HSCs. Exposure of aged HSCs to pH 6.9, or pharmacological targeting of the polyamine pathway, might thus extend the use of HSCs from aged donors for therapeutic applications.
