Abstract

SUMMARY Stem cells persist throughout life in diverse tissues by undergoing self-renewing divisions. Self-renewal capacity declines with age, partly due to increasing p16Ink4a expression, but little is known about the mechanisms responsible for these changes. We discovered the Hmga2 transcriptional regulator was highly expressed in fetal neural stem cells but expression declined with age, partly due to increasing let-7b microRNA expression. Hmga2 deficiency reduced stem cell frequency and self-renewal throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems of fetal and young adult mice, but not old adult mice where it was no longer expressed. Hmga2 deficiency did not affect restricted neural progenitor proliferation. Hmga2 deficient fetal and young adult stem cells exhibited increased p16Ink4a and p19Arf expression, and deletion of p16Ink4a and/or p19Arf partially rescued their self-renewal. let-7b over-expression reduced Hmga2 expression and increased p16Ink4a/p19Arf expression. Changes in let-7b and Hmga2 expression during stem cell aging increase p16Ink4a/p19Arf expression and reduce self-renewal.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
