The ageing haematopoietic stem cell compartment

Geiger, Hartmut, de Haan, Gerald, Florian, M. Carolina·2013·Nature Reviews Immunology

Abstract

Stem cell ageing underlies the ageing of tissues, especially those with a high cellular turnover. There is growing evidence that the ageing of the immune system is initiated at the very top of the haematopoietic hierarchy and that the ageing of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) directly contributes to changes in the immune system, referred to as immunosenescence. In this Review, we summarize the phenotypes of ageing HSCs and discuss how the cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic mechanisms of HSC ageing might promote immunosenescence. Stem cell ageing has long been considered to be irreversible. However, recent findings indicate that several molecular pathways could be targeted to rejuvenate HSCs and thus to reverse some aspects of immunosenescence.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Aged HSCs show no difference in cycling activity.

    “Regulation of cell number and cycling activity is different for aging HSCs, which actually show increases in cell number, possibly due to a reduced capacity for asymmetric division123, with no difference in cycling activity124.”
  • Many molecular and cell-intrinsic mechanisms have been reported to contribute to the age-associated decline in HSC function.

    “Multiple molecular and cell-intrinsic mechanisms have been reported to contribute to the age-associated decline of HSC functioning”

  • Age-associated alterations in adaptive immunity are thought in part to be driven by an ageing haematopoietic stem cell niche and fewer circulating stem cells, which are characterised by intrinsic damage and a phenotype skewed towards the myeloid lineage.

    “Age-associated alterations in adaptive immunity are thought in part, to be driven by an ageing haematopoietic stem cell niche and fewer circulating stem cells, which in turn, are characterised by intrinsic damage and a phenotype skewed towards the myeloid lineage (Geiger et al. 2013).”

    From Is immunosenescence influenced by our lifetime “dose” of exercise? (2016) · cites this paper as Geiger et al. 2013

  • Ageing results in alterations to almost all aspects of innate and adaptive immune function.

    “Ageing results in alterations to almost all aspects of innate and adaptive immune function, and these changes are typically assumed to reflect deregulation.”

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.
