摘要

The hematopoietic stem cell and multipotent progenitor (HSC/MPP) pool dynamically responds to stress to adapt blood output to specific physiological demands. In β-thalassemia (Bthal), severe anemia and ineffective erythropoiesis generate expansion of erythroid precursors and a chronic stress status in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. However, the response to the BM altered status at the level of the HSC/MPP compartment in terms of lineage commitment has not been investigated. Bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing reveal that Bthal HSCs/MPPs are expanded and activated with enhanced priming along the whole Ery differentiation trajectory. Consistently, HSC/MPP showed an altered TGFβ expression and autophagy transcriptional signatures along with a declined dormancy state. We discovered that the altered TGFβ signaling fosters the Ery potential of HSCs by reducing their autophagic levels, and in vivo stimulation of autophagy is sufficient to rescue the imbalance of the HSC compartment. Our findings identify the interplay between TGFβ and HSC autophagy as a key driver in the context of non-malignant hematopoiesis.
