Abstract UCP2, an inner membrane mitochondrial protein, has been implicated in bioenergetics and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) modulation. UCP2 has been previously hypothesized to function as a facilitator of heme synthesis and iron metabolism by reducing ROS production. While UCP2 has been found to be induced by GATA1 during erythroid differentiation its role in erythropoiesis in vivo or in vitro has not been reported thus far. Here we report on the study of UCP2 role in erythropoiesis and the hematologic phenotype of UCP2 deficient mouse. In vivo we found that UCP2 protein peaks at early stages of erythroid maturation when cells are not fully committed in heme synthesis and then becomes undetectable at the reticulocyte stage. Iron incorporation into heme was unaltered in erythroid cells from UCP2 deficient mice. While heme synthesis was not influenced by UCP2 deficiency, mice lacking UCP2 had a delayed recovery from chemically induced hemolytic anemia. Analysis of the erythroid lineage from bone marrow and fetal liver revealed that in the UCP2 deficient mice the R3 (CD71high/Ter119high) population was reduced by 24%. The count of BFU-E and CFU-E colonies, scored in an erythroid colony assay, was unaffected, indicating an equivalent number of early erythroid progenitor cells in both UCP2 deficient and control cells. Ex-vivo differentiation assay revealed that UCP2 deficient c-kit+ progenitor cells expansion was overall reduced by 14% with population analysis determining that the main effect is at the R3 stage. No increased rate of apoptosis was found indicating that expansion rather than cell death is being compromised. Reduced expansion of c-kit+ cells was accompanied by 30% reduction in the phosphorylated form of ERK, a ROS dependent cytosolic regulator of cell proliferation. Analysis of ROS in UCP2 null erythroid progenitors revealed altered distribution of ROS resulting in 14% decrease in cytosolic and 32% increase in mitochondrial ROS. Restoration of the cytosolic oxidative state of erythroid progenitor cells by the pro-oxidant Paraquat reversed the effect of UCP2 deficiency on cell proliferation in in vitro differentiation assays. Together, these results indicate that UCP2 is a regulator of erythropoiesis and suggests that inhibition of UCP2 function may contribute to the development of anemia.

Abstract The myeloproliferative leukemia virus (MPLV), a novel murine retroviral complex that does not transform fibroblasts, has been shown to cause an acute leukemia in adult mice accompanied by a progressive polycythemia. The present study demonstrates that, on in vivo inoculation, MPLV induces a rapid suppression of growth factor requirement for in vitro colony formation by both the late and the primitive erythroid progenitor cells. CFU-e-derived erythrocytic colonies developed and differentiated in semi-solid medium without the addition of erythropoietin (Epo). In addition, the formation of CFU-e colonies was not altered by the presence of specific neutralizing Epo antibodies. In the spleen, the CFU-e pool size increased rapidly up to 30-fold. By day 6 postinfection, 100% of these progenitor cells were Epo-independent. The in vivo effects of MPLV-infection on early erythroid progenitor cell compartments were examined in cultures grown for seven days. The concentration of erythroid progenitor cells was twofold elevated in spleen from MPLV-infected mice. As early as day 4 postinfection, 50% of these progenitors produced fully hemoglobinized colonies in serum-free cultures without the addition of interleukin-3 (IL-3) and Epo. Most spontaneous colonies were large and contained up to 10(5) cells per colony. They were composed of either erythroblasts only (16%) or erythroblasts and megakaryocytes (70%); few of them were multipotential (14%). In the marrow, the total number of BFU-e was reduced and only few factor-independent bursts were observed, suggesting a rapid migration of infected progenitors from marrow to spleen. Furthermore, the data show that abnormal erythropoiesis was due to the replication defective MPLV information and was not influenced by the Fv-2 locus.

Abstract Erythroid progenitor cells in +/+ and Sl/Sld fetal livers manifested as burst-forming units-erythroid (BFU-E) and colony-forming units- erythroid (CFU-E) were assayed in vitro during early development. The proportion of BFU-E was higher as mutant than in normal fetal livers. On the other hand, the proportion of CFU-E was less in the mutant than in the normal. These results suggest that the defect in Sl/Sld fetal hepatic erythropoiesis is expressed at the steps of differentiation that effect the transition from BFU-E to CFU-E.

High-dose estrogen administration induces anemia in mammals. In chickens, estrogens stimulate outgrowth of bone marrow-derived erythroid progenitor cells and delay their maturation. This delay is associated with down-regulation of many erythroid cell-specific genes, including alpha- and beta-globin, band 3, band 4.1, and the erythroid cell-specific histone H5. We show here that estrogens also reduce the number of erythroid progenitor cells in primary human bone marrow cultures. To address potential mechanisms by which estrogens suppress erythropoiesis, we have examined their effects on GATA-1, an erythroid transcription factor that participates in the regulation of the majority of erythroid cell-specific genes and is necessary for full maturation of erythrocytes. We demonstrate that the transcriptional activity of GATA-1 is strongly repressed by the estrogen receptor (ER) in a ligand-dependent manner and that this repression is reversible in the presence of 4-hydroxytamoxifen. ER-mediated repression of GATA-1 activity occurs on an artificial promoter containing a single GATA-binding site, as well as in the context of an intact promoter which is normally regulated by GATA-1. GATA-1 and ER bind to each other in vitro in the absence of DNA. In coimmunoprecipitation experiments using transfected COS cells, GATA-1 and ER associate in a ligand-dependent manner. Mapping experiments indicate that GATA-1 and the ER form at least two contacts, which involve the finger region and the N-terminal activation domain of GATA-1. We speculate that estrogens exert effects on erythropoiesis by modulating GATA-1 activity through protein-protein interaction with the ER. Interference with GATA-binding proteins may be one mechanism by which steroid hormones modulate cellular differentiation.

Fetal Erythropoiesis

Abstract Uteroferrin (UF) is a progesterone-induced acid phosphatase produced by uterine glandular epithelia in mammals during pregnancy and targeted to sites of hematopoiesis throughout pregnancy. The expression pattern of UF is coordinated with early fetal hematopoietic development in the yolk sac and then liver, spleen, and bone to prevent anemia in fetuses. Our previous studies suggested that UF exerts stimulatory impacts on hematopoietic progenitor cells. However, the precise role and thereby the mechanism of action of UF on hematopoiesis have not been investigated previously. Here, we report that UF is a potent regulator that can greatly enhance fetal erythropoiesis. Using primary fetal liver hematopoietic cells, we observed a synergistic stimulatory effect of UF with erythropoietin and other growth factors on both burst-forming unit-erythroid and colony-forming unit-erythroid formation. Further, we demonstrated that UF enhanced erythropoiesis at terminal stages using an in vitro culture system. Surveying genes that are crucial for erythrocyte formation at various stages revealed that UF, along with erythropoietin, up-regulated transcription factors required for terminal erythrocyte differentiation and genes required for synthesis of hemoglobin. Collectively, our results demonstrate that UF is a cytokine secreted by uterine glands in response to progesterone that promotes fetal erythropoiesis at various stages of pregnancy, including burst-forming unit-erythroid and colony-forming unit-erythroid progenitor cells and terminal stages of differentiation of hematopoietic cells in the erythroid lineage.
