FoxO maintains a genuine muscle stem-cell quiescent state until geriatric age
Abstract
Tissue regeneration declines with ageing but little is known about whether this arises from changes in stem-cell heterogeneity. Here, in homeostatic skeletal muscle, we identify two quiescent stem-cell states distinguished by relative CD34 expression: CD34 High, with stemness properties (genuine state), and CD34 Low, committed to myogenic differentiation (primed state). The genuine-quiescent state is unexpectedly preserved into later life, succumbing only in extreme old age due to the acquisition of primed-state traits. Niche-derived IGF1-dependent Akt activation debilitates the genuine stem-cell state by imposing primed-state features via FoxO inhibition. Interventions to neutralize Akt and promote FoxO activity drive a primed-to-genuine state conversion, whereas FoxO inactivation deteriorates the genuine state at a young age, causing regenerative failure of muscle, as occurs in geriatric mice. These findings reveal transcriptional determinants of stem-cell heterogeneity that resist ageing more than previously anticipated and are only lost in extreme old age, with implications for the repair of geriatric muscle.

In the citing paper
“Consistent with previous reports of the role of FOXO factors in HSC, MuSC and NSC quiescence85–90, constitutive deletion of three of the FOXO genes (FOXO1, FOXO3 and FOXO4) in the MuSC lineage during development results in the impairment of postnatal establishment of the MuSC population and a more rapid MuSC depletion with age32.”

In the citing paper
“For example, FOXO transcription factors integrate growth factors and stress signal transduction pathways, and may represent a ‘hub’ for the action of various systemic factors in stem cells in ageing brain, muscle, blood and intestine32,85–90.”

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.
