Abstract
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) undergo rapid transcriptional transitions among distinct cell states and functional properties during development, but the underlying molecular mechanism is largely unknown. Here, we characterize the mRNA m5C landscape of developing HSPCs in zebrafish and found that m5C modification is essential for HSPC expansion through maintaining mRNA stability. Deletion of the m5C reader, Y-box binding protein 1 (Ybx1), significantly inhibits the proliferation of HSPCs in zebrafish and mice. Mechanistically, Ybx1 recognizes m5C-modified mRNAs and maintains the stability of cell-cycle-related transcripts, thereby ensuring proper HSPC expansion. This study reveals the critical role of Ybx1-mediated mRNA m5C modification in developmental hematopoiesis and provides new insights and epitransciptomic strategies for optimizing HSPC expansion.
期刊介绍：
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
