The capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to generate B lymphocytes declines with age, contributing to impaired immune function in the elderly. Here we show that the histone methyltransferase SUV39H1 plays an important role in human B lymphoid differentiation and that expression of SUV39H1 decreases with age in both human and mouse HSC, leading to a global reduction in H3K9 trimethylation and perturbed heterochromatin function. Further, we demonstrate that SUV39H1 is a target of microRNA miR-125b, a known regulator of HSC function, and that expression of miR-125b increases with age in human HSC. Overexpression of miR-125b and inhibition of SUV39H1 in young HSC induced loss of B cell potential. Conversely, both inhibition of miR-125 and enforced expression of SUV39H1 improved the capacity of HSC from elderly individuals to generate B cells. Our findings highlight the importance of heterochromatin regulation in HSC aging and B lymphopoiesis. Inhibition of SUV39H1 histone methyltransferase in human HSC leads to decreased B lymphopoiesis SUV39H1 and global histone H3K9 trimethylation decrease with age in HSC The microRNA miR-125b targets SUV39H1 in HSC and increases with age Inhibition of miR-125b or overexpression of SUV39H1 improves B cell output of old HSC Aging is associated with a decline in the capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to generate B lymphocytes. Goodhardt and colleaguesdemonstrate that an age-associated increase of the microRNA miR-125b in HSC targets the histone methyltransferase SUV39H1, leading to perturbed heterochromatin and a decline of B cell potential. This study suggests new targets to improve immune function in the elderly.
