Fig. 1. Maintenance of redox homeostasis and quiescence of HSCs in the BM niche.

Fig. 1

The ROS level of HSCs in quiescence is regulated by a complex signaling network consisting of ATM, HIFs, FoxOs, SRC3, etc., which work together to maintain a low intracellular ROS level. The interaction between HSCs and BMSCs in the BM niche has a vital role in the long-term stability of HSCs. TPO, SCF, TGF-β1, and BMPs produced by BMSCs are all important regulators of the quiescence of HSCs.
