ABSTRACT
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder characterized by bone marrow failure and high risk of cancer particularly leukemia. Here we show that inactivation of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) activity of DNA-PKcs prevented DNA damage-induced expansion of FA pre-leukemic hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Furthermore, we performed serial BM transplantation to demonstrate that the DNA damage-induced expanded FA HSC compartment contained pre-leukemic stem cells that required the NHEJ activity of DNA-PKcs to induce leukemia in the secondary recipients. These results suggest that NHEJ may collaborate with FA deficiency to promote DNA damage-induced expansion of pre-leukemic HSCs.
