Retrotransposons are co-opted to activate hematopoietic stem cells and erythropoiesis
24 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and erythropoiesis are activated during pregnancy and after bleeding by the derepression of retrotransposons, including endogenous retroviruses and long interspersed nuclear elements. Retrotransposon transcription activates the innate immune sensors cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate-adenosine 5'-monophosphate synthase (cGAS) and stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING),...
