AbstractMyelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are characterized by peripheral blood cytopenia including anemia. We have investigated the implication of the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis in MDS-ineffective erythropoiesis by in vitro expansion of erythroid precursors from early stage (low and intermediate-1 International Prognosis Scoring System [IPSS]) MDS, advanced stage (intermediate-2 IPSS) MDS, and control bone marrow samples. We have previously shown that Fas and its ligand were overexpressed in early stage MDS erythroid cells. Here, we show that caspase-8 activity is significantly increased, whereas the expression of death receptors other than Fas, including the type 1 receptor for tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and the receptors for the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), DR4 and DR5, was normal. We also observed that the adapter Fas-associated death domain (FADD) was overexpressed in early stage MDS erythroid cells. Transduction of early stage MDS-derived CD34+ progenitors with a FADD-encoding construct increased apoptosis of erythroid cells and dramatically reduced erythroid burst-forming unit (BFU-E) growth. Transduction of a dominant-negative (dn) mutant of FADD inhibited caspase-8 activity and cell death and rescued BFU-E growth without abrogating erythroid differentiation. These results extend the observation that Fas-dependent activation of caspase-8 accounts for apoptosis of early stage MDS erythroid cells and demonstrate for the first time that FADD is a valuable target to correct ineffective erythropoiesis in these syndromes.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and caspase 8-dependent apoptosis are two interlinked causal events in maternal diabetes-induced neural tube defects (NTDs). The inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) signalosome mediates the proapoptotic effect of ER stress. Diabetes increases tumor necrosis factor receptor type 1R-associated death domain (TRADD) expression. Here, we revealed two new unfolded protein response (UPR) regulators, TRADD and Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD). TRADD interacted with both the IRE1α-TRAF2-ASK1 complex and FADD. In vivo overexpression of a FADD dominant negative (FADD-DN) mutant lacking the death effector domain disrupted diabetes-induced IRE1α signalosome and suppressed ER stress and caspase 8-dependent apoptosis, leading to NTD prevention. FADD-DN abrogated ER stress markers and blocked the JNK1/2-ASK1 pathway. Diabetes-induced mitochondrial translocation of proapoptotic Bcl-2 members mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase cleavage were also alleviated by FADD-DN. In vitro TRADD overexpression triggered UPR and ER stress before manifestation of caspase 3 and caspase 8 cleavage and apoptosis. FADD-DN overexpression repressed high glucose- or TRADD overexpression-induced IRE1α phosphorylation, its downstream proapoptotic kinase activation and endonuclease activities, and apoptosis. FADD-DN also attenuated tunicamycin-induced UPR and ER stress. These findings suggest that TRADD participates in the IRE1α signalosome and induces UPR and ER stress and that the association between TRADD and FADD is essential for diabetes- or high glucose-induced UPR and ER stress.

The v-erb B oncogene, as well as other oncogenes of the src -gene family transform immature erythroid cells from chick bone marrow in vivo and in vitro . The erb B-transformed erythroid cells differ from normal late erythroid precursors (CFU-E) in that they have acquired the capacity to undergo self-renewal as well as to differentiate terminally. They also do not require the normal erythroid differentiation hormone, erythro-poietin, for either process. Cooperation of v-erb B with a second oncogene, v-erb A, results in a differentiation arrest of the transformed cells, which now only use the self-renewal pathway. Studies with conditional and non-conditional mutants in both v-erb B and v-erb A will be presented to elucidate further how the transforming proteins encoded by these oncogenes, gp74 erb B and gp75 gag-erb A , affect the differentiation programme of the infected erythroid precursor with the outcome of hormone-independent leukaemic cells arrested at an early stage of erythroid differentiation.

Abstract Ineffective erythropoiesis (IE) in β-thalassemia has been attributed to erythroid cell death mediated by apoptosis or hemolysis during the maturation process. Historically, ferrokinetic studies in this disease suggested that 60%–80% of erythroid precursors die in the marrow or extramedullary sites. However, several observations have challenged this view. First, the number of apoptotic erythroid cells in patients is low compared to net expansion of the erythroid cell pool. Second, hemolytic markers in β-thalassemic patients are normal or only slightly increased, unless additional pathological conditions appear. Third, our most recent study (Blood, Gardenghi et al, 2007 Jun 1) demonstrated that GI iron absorption in β-thalassemia is increased by the dysregulation of genes such as hepcidin and ferroportin that control iron absorption, resulting in iron levels that exceed the amount required for erythropoiesis. We have undertaken a detailed investigation using cohorts of mice (n>30 per genotype) with β-thalassemia intermedia (th3/+) and major (th3/th3). Using these models, we have previously shown that the severity of anemia (as low as 1 g/dL) inversely correlates with the total number of nucleated erythroid cells (»100 fold compared to wild-type (wt) mice). Cytological analysis has clearly shown that thalassemic spleen specimens were comprised of a homogeneous pre-erythroblastic population. In contrast, the percentage of apoptotic cells and the level of hemolytic markers, such as bilirubin and lactic acid dehydrogenase, slightly increased or were not different compared to wt mice. While not excluding a role for apoptosis, our observations suggest that control of the cell cycle and maturation of erythroid precursors play an important role in IE. We then explored whether the erythroid cell cycle was dysregulated in our model system. We found that erythropoietin (Epo) levels were raised in thalassemic animals by as much as three orders of magnitude. Binding of Epo to its receptor (EpoR), activates antiapoptotic and cell cycle promoting genes, through activation of Jak2 and Stat5. By Western blot we demonstrated up-regulation of EpoR, Stat5 and the antiapoptotic protein BclXL, as well as that of proliferation promoting genes, such as CycA and Cdk2, in purified thalassemic erythroid cells compared to those of wt animals. This data was confirmed by staining both wt and thalassemic liver and spleen sections using the proliferation markers Ki67 and Mcm3, by clonogenic assay and by analysis of the percentage of erythroid cells in S-phase after BrdU injection. In the latter case, we observed 22%, 30% and 44% BrdU+ cells from wt, th3/+ and th3/th3 mice, respectively. In addition, freshly purified thalassemic erythroid cells proliferate faster in vitro than normal cells, a phenomenon blocked by AG490, a Jak2 inhibitor. Significantly, we have been able to reproduce results from our animal studies in humans, comparing normal and thalassemic blood and spleen specimens. In conclusion, we propose that IE in β-thalassemia is likely to be the result of altered cell proliferation and impaired cell differentiation, which in turn limit apoptosis, thereby mimicking tumor-like behavior.

ABSTRACT The death domain-containing receptor superfamily and their respective downstream mediators control whether or not cells initiate apoptosis or activate NF-κB, events critical for proper immune system function. A screen for upstream activators of NF-κB identified a novel serine-threonine kinase capable of activating NF-κB and inducing apoptosis. Based upon domain organization and sequence similarity, this novel kinase, named mRIP3 (mouse receptor interacting protein 3), appears to be a new RIP family member. RIP, RIP2, and mRIP3 contain an N-terminal kinase domain that share 30 to 40% homology. In contrast to the C-terminal death domain found in RIP or the C-terminal caspase-recruiting domain found in RIP2, the C-terminal tail of mRIP3 contains neither motif and is unique. Despite this feature, overexpression of the mRIP3 C terminus is sufficient to induce apoptosis, suggesting that mRIP3 uses a novel mechanism to induce death. mRIP3 also induced NF-κB activity which was inhibited by overexpression of either dominant-negative NIK or dominant-negative TRAF2. In vitro kinase assays demonstrate that mRIP3 is catalytically active and has autophosphorylation site(s) in the C-terminal domain, but the mRIP3 catalytic activity is not required for mRIP3 induced apoptosis and NF-κB activation. Unlike RIP and RIP2, mRIP3 mRNA is expressed in a subset of adult tissues and is thus likely to be a tissue-specific regulator of apoptosis and NF-κB activity. While the lack of a dominant-negative mutant precludes linking mRIP3 to a known upstream regulator, characterizing the expression pattern and the in vitro functions of mRIP3 provides insight into the mechanism(s) by which cells modulate the balance between survival and death in a cell-type-specific manner.

On binding to its receptor, transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) induces apoptosis in a variety of cells, including human B lymphocytes. We have previously reported that TGFβ-mediated apoptosis is caspase-dependent and associated with activation of caspase-3. We show here that caspase-8 inhibitors strongly decrease TGFβ-mediated apoptosis in BL41 Burkitt's lymphoma cells. These inhibitors act upstream of the mitochondria because they inhibited the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential observed in TGFβ-treated cells. TGFβ induced caspase-8 activation in these cells as shown by the cleavage of specific substrates, including Bid, and the appearance of cleaved fragments of caspase-8. Our data show that TGFβ induces an apoptotic pathway involving sequential caspase-8 activation, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and caspase-9 and -3 activation. Caspase-8 activation was Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD)-independent because cells expressing a dominant negative mutant of FADD were still sensitive to TGFβ-induced caspase-8 activation and apoptosis. This FADD-independent pathway of caspase-8 activation is regulated by p38. Indeed, TGFβ-induced activation of p38 and two different inhibitors specific for this mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (SB203580 and PD169316) prevented TGFβ-mediated caspase-8 activation as well as the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis. Overall, our data show that p38 activation by TGFβ induced an apoptotic pathway via FADD-independent activation of caspase-8.

Hedgehog (HH) is an important morphogen involved in pattern formation during Drosophila embryogenesis and disc development. cubitus interruptus (ci) encodes a transcription factor responsible for transducing the hh signal in the nucleus and activating hh target gene expression. Previous studies have shown that CI exists in two forms: a 75 kDa proteolytic repressor form and a 155 kDa activator form. The ratio of these forms, which is regulated positively by hh signaling and negatively by PKA activity, determines the on/off status of hh target gene expression. In this paper, we demonstrate that the exogenous expression of CI that is mutant for four consensus PKA sites [CI(m1-4)], causes ectopic expression of wingless (wg) in vivo and a phenotype consistent with wg overexpression. Expression of CI(m1-4), but not CI(wt), can rescue the hh mutant phenotype and restore wg expression in hh mutant embryos. When PKA activity is suppressed by expressing a dominant negative PKA mutant, the exogenous expression of CI(wt) results in overexpression of wg and lethality in embryogenesis, defects that are similar to those caused by the exogenous expression of CI(m1-4). In addition, we demonstrate that, in cell culture, the mutation of any one of the three serine-containing PKA sites abolishes the proteolytic processing of CI. We also show that PKA directly phosphorylates the four consensus phosphorylation sites in vitro. Taken together, our results suggest that positive hh and negative PKA regulation of wg gene expression converge on the regulation of CI phosphorylation.

Abstract Erythropoiesis is primarily controlled by erythropoietin (Epo), which stimulates proliferation, differentiation, and survival of erythroid precursors. We have previously shown that the tyrosine kinase Lyn is critical for transducing differentiation signals emanating from the activated Epo receptor. A yeast 2-hybrid screen for downstream effectors of Lyn identified a novel protein, Liar (Lyn-interacting ankyrin repeat), which forms a multiprotein complex with Lyn and HS1 in erythroid cells. Interestingly, 3 of the ankyrin repeats of Liar define a novel SH3 binding region for Lyn and HS1. Liar also contains functional nuclear localization and nuclear export sequences and shuttles rapidly between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Ectopic expression of Liar inhibited the differentiation of normal erythroid progenitors, as well as immortalized erythroid cells. Significantly, Liar affected Epo-activated signaling molecules including Erk2, STAT5, Akt, and Lyn. These results show that Liar is a novel Lyn-interacting molecule that plays an important role in regulating intracellular signaling events associated with erythroid terminal differentiation.

ABSTRACT During infection, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) translocates effector proteins directly into the cytosol of infected enterocytes using a type III secretion system (T3SS). Once inside the host cell, these effector proteins subvert various immune signaling pathways, including death receptor-induced apoptosis. One such effector protein is the non-locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE)-encoded effector NleB1, which inhibits extrinsic apoptotic signaling via the FAS death receptor. NleB1 transfers a single N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue to Arg117 in the death domain of Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) and inhibits FAS ligand (FasL)-stimulated caspase-8 cleavage. Another effector secreted by the T3SS is NleF. Previous studies have shown that NleF binds to and inhibits the activity of caspase-4, -8, and -9 in vitro. Here, we investigated a role for NleF in the inhibition of FAS signaling and apoptosis during EPEC infection. We show that NleF prevents the cleavage of caspase-8, caspase-3, and receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) in response to FasL stimulation. When translocated into host cells by the T3SS or expressed ectopically, NleF also blocked FasL-induced cell death. Using the EPEC-like mouse pathogen Citrobacter rodentium, we found that NleB but not NleF contributed to colonization of mice in the intestine. Hence, despite their shared ability to block FasL/FAS signaling, NleB and NleF have distinct roles during infection.

ABSTRACT Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) (Apo2 ligand [Apo2L]) is a member of the TNF superfamily and has been shown to have selective antitumor activity. Although it is known that TRAIL (Apo2L) induces apoptosis and activates NF-κB and Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) through receptors such as TRAIL-R1 (DR4) and TRAIL-R2 (DR5), the components of its signaling cascade have not been well defined. In this report, we demonstrated that the death domain kinase RIP is essential for TRAIL-induced IκB kinase (IKK) and JNK activation. We found that ectopic expression of the dominant negative mutant RIP, RIP(559–671), blocks TRAIL-induced IKK and JNK activation. In the RIP null fibroblasts, TRAIL failed to activate IKK and only partially activated JNK. The endogenous RIP protein was detected by immunoprecipitation in the TRAIL-R1 complex after TRAIL treatment. More importantly, we found that RIP is not involved in TRAIL-induced apoptosis. In addition, we also demonstrated that the TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) plays little role in TRAIL-induced IKK activation although it is required for TRAIL-mediated JNK activation. These results indicated that the death domain kinase RIP, a key factor in TNF signaling, also plays a pivotal role in TRAIL-induced IKK and JNK activation.

Abstract DBA is a congenital form of pure red cell anemia characterized by a macrocytic anemia, reticulocytopenia, and a block in erythroid differentiation at the proerythroblast stage, often in association with physical anomalies and growth retardation. About 25% of the patients carry mutations in genes that encode for proteins (RPS19, RPS24 and RPS17) that bind to the 40S subunit of the ribosome. The resultant defect in ribosomal biogenesis has been proposed to impair the initiation of globin translation, leading to mismatch between intracellular levels of heme and globin chains. It has been hypothesized that the transient excess of intracellular free heme resulting from the delay in globin synthesis exerts direct toxicity to erythroid precursors and plays a major role in pathogenesis of DBA through apoptosis of proerythroblasts (Keel et al., Science319;825,2008). Free hemin, however, is not necessarily toxic to developing erythroid precursors. Exogenously supplied hemin is readily taken up by erythroid cells in culture and its iron is incorporated into hemoglobin or stored in ferritin (Fibach et al., J Cell Physiol130;460,1987). Following addition of succinylacetone, a potent inhibitor of heme synthesis, exogenously supplied hemin can replace intracellularly synthesized heme and be incorporated into de novo formed hemoglobin (Fibach et al., Blood85;2967,1995). Hemin supplementation to semi-solid cultures promotes the growth of normal erythroid precursors (e.g., Lu and Broxmeyer, Exp Hematol11;721,1983). We showed in a two-phase liquid culture that exogenous hemin promotes normal erythropoiesis by accelerating the proliferation and hemoglobinization of erythroid precursors in the presence or absence of transferrin (Fibach et al., Blood85;2967,1995). This effect was particularly prominent during the early stages of hemoglobinization, when iron-uptake and heme synthesis are rate-limiting. In the present study we show that surplus hemin (10 - 50 mM) supplemented to cultures at early stage of erythroid development is well tolerated. Although the generation of reactive oxygen species (measured by staining with dichlorofluorescein diacetate) was modestly (50 ± 15%, N=4) increased, it was not associated with increased apoptosis, as measured by binding of annexin V, nor necrosis as measured by propidium iodide staining. Having demonstrated the growth and differentiation promoting potential of exogenous hemin on normal erythroid precursors and lack of overt toxicity, we studied the effect of exogenous heme in cultures of erythroid cells derived from six patients with DBA. We show that hemin, added as heme chloride or heme arginate, circumvented the primary defect and significantly stimulated (4 - 20-fold, p<0.001) ) the growth of DBA erythroid cells and their hemoglobinization. In conclusion, our results show that exogenous hemin is taken up by developing erythroid cells and can supplement or substitute endogenously synthesized heme; excess heme stimulates free radical generation moderately but does not cause apoptosis or necrosis; addition of hemin to cultured erythroid precursors derived from normal donors stimulates their growth and hemoglobinization, and in DBA, in contrast to the recently proposed scheme, heme can actually restore the growth and differentiation potential of the DBA-erythroid precursors. The beneficial effect of hemin on DBA erythroid precursors may be related to its effect on translation initiation factors, such as eIF-2 , and suggests a therapeutic potential.
