January 2025 in “PLoS ONE” The study explores the role of the ING5 gene in stem cell maintenance and tumor suppression using CRISPR/Cas9 knockout mice. ING5 knockout mice exhibited sub-fertility, increased rates of dermatitis, and a 6-fold higher incidence of germinal centre diffuse large B-cell lymphomas by 18 months compared to controls. Despite these issues, their lifespan and wound healing were not significantly affected. The knockout mice showed reduced neural stem cell markers, increased differentiation into neurons, and fewer hair follicles after wounding, indicating disrupted stem cell regeneration. The study involved 207 ING5 knockout and 373 wild-type mice, confirming ING5's critical role in stem cell maintenance and as a tumor suppressor, particularly in hematopoietic cells.
