Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are endowed with high regenerative potential to supply mature blood cells throughout life, under steady state or stress conditions. HSCs are thought to rely on glycolysis when in a quiescent state and to switch to oxidative phosphorylation to meet their metabolic needs during activation. Recently, a series of important studies reveals a higher degree of complexity that goes well beyond the dichotomy between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent findings highlighting the multifaceted metabolic requirements of HSC homeostasis. RECENT FINDINGS: Emerging evidence points to the importance of lysosomal catabolic activity and noncanonical retinoic acid pathway in maintaining HSC quiescence and stemness. HSC activation into cycle seems to be accompanied by a switch to glycolysis-mitochondrial coupling and to anabolic pathways, including Myc, aspartate-mediated purine synthesis. SUMMARY: Knowledge of metabolism of HSCs has dramatically increased in the past 2 years and reveals unexpected needs of HSCs during both their quiescent and activated state. Understanding how HSCs use metabolism for their functions will offer new opportunity for HSC-based therapies.
