Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells produce all types of blood cells and are known for their self-renewal capacity, but are nevertheless prone to the detrimental effects of aging, such as a deteriorated immune functioning and a higher incidence of myeloid malignancies. Histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play a role in gene expression and silencing. One form of PTMs, epigenetic modifications, is being studied for their possible contribution to the aging of the hematopoietic system. A protocol for intracellular FACS staining was optimized to quantify the amount of H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K27ac and H3K9ac marks in LT-HSCs isolated from young and old mice.
