Mov10 mitigates hematopoietic stem cell exhaustion under stress by modulating the Camp-mediated inflammatory pathway

The integrity of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function is crucial for robust hematopoietic regeneration following stress. Inflammatory responses are pivotal drivers of HSC stress response, yet the precise modulation of inflammatory pathways remains incompletely defined. In this study, we identify the RNA helicase Mov10 as a negative regulator of stress-induced inflammatory pathways in HSC. Our study indicates that Mov10, which is critically required for HSC maintenance, is highly expressed in HSCs, and its loss adversely affects HSC fitness and survival during hematopoietic stress induced by bone marrow transplantation and irradiation (IR). Mechanistically, Mov10 mitigates excessive inflammatory activation to sustain HSC functional integrity during hematopoietic stress, primarily by enhancing the translation of CAMP, which inhibits the interaction between TNF-α and its receptor TNFR1 and suppresses NF-κB activation. Overall, our results imply that Mov10 plays a critical role in averting functional failure of hematopoiesis under stress, presenting viable paths for the therapeutic intervention of relevant diseases.
