Erythroid differentiation depends on the establishment of specific patterns of gene expression. Hypersensitive site 2 (HS2, serving as a major enhancer of globin genes)-binding proteins may be involved in its natural open chromosomal environment formation. Previously we prepared monoclonal antibodies against HS2-binding nuclear proteins of terminal differentiated erythroid cells. By utilizing the monoclonal antibodies, we screened λ-gt11 human fetal liver cDNA expression library and obtained one cDNA clone, which was named erythroid differentiation related gene (EDRF1, Genbank accession number AF040247), encompassing an entire open reading frame. We investigated the expression pattern ofEDRF1 by RT-PCR technique. And a clue to the function ofEDRF1 has been found from confirmation of high levels ofEDRF1 mRNA in differentiated K562 and human fetal liver tissue. To illuminate the function ofEDRF1 in K562 cells, sense and antisenseEDRF1 constructs were prepared and transfected into K562 cells. α-globin mRNA was down-regulated and EpoR (erythropoietin receptor) mRNA expression was increased in antisense transfected cells. Cells transfected with sense construct grew more slowly than control cells suggested by [3H] thimidine incorporation experiments. Suppression of K562 proliferation was accompanied by increased spontaneous hemoglobin synthesis demonstrated by spectrometry. K562 cells transfected with sense construct exhibited reduced clongenicity compared with control cells in methycellulose culture. These data provided the evidence thatEDRF1 can influence globin expression and hemoglobin synthesis in K562 cells and modulated self-renewal in K562 cells.  相似文献

Our previous studies showed that some nuclear proteins that were expressed especially during terminal differentiation of erythroid cells might interact directly or indirectly with HS2 sequence to form the HS2-protein complexes and thus play an important role in the globin gene regulation and erythroid differentiation. Monoclonal antibodies against the nuclear proteins of terminal differentiated erythroid cells, including intermediate and late erythroblasts of human fetal liver and hemin induced K562 cells, were prepared by hybridoma technique. The monoclonal antibodies were used to screen λ-gtll human cDNA expression library of fetal liver in order to obtain the relevant cDNA clones. By the analysis of their cDNA clones and the identification of the proteins' functions, the regulation mechanism of the HS2 binding proteins might be better understood. Two cDNA clones (GenBank accession number AF040247 and AF040248 respectively) were obtained and one of them owns a full length and the other encodes a prote  相似文献

Two cDNA clones (GenBank accession number AF040247 and AF040248 respectively) were obtained and one of them owns a full length and the other encodes a protein characterized by a leucine-zipper domain. Both of them were expressed differentially in K562 cells and hemin-induced K562 cells. The evidence suggested that both of them were involved in erythroid differentiation. We investigat-ed the expression pattern of EDRF1 and EDRF2 by RT-PCR technique. The results of RT-PCR suggested that EDRF1 and EDRF2 might play a critical role in early stage of organ development and histological differentiation. EDRF1 and EDRF2 might start the program of erythroid develop-ment, and also regulate the development of erythroid tissue and the expression of globin gene at different stage of the development.  相似文献

Our previous studies showed that EDRF1 influenced expression of α-globin mRNA and synthesis of hemoglobin in K562 cells and modulated self-renewal of K562 cells. To illuminate the function of EDRF1 in K562 cells, sense and antisense EDRF1 constructs were prepared and transfected into K562 cells. By using microarray and dot blot assay, 60 cytokine receptors and some oncogenes sharing important functions in cell proliferation and differentiation were investigated. The results of this study demonstrated that IL-6 receptor, GM-CSF receptor, c-Jun/c-Fos, c-Myc and c-kit genes were regulated by antisense EDRF1 expression. The regulation was confirmed by RNA blot assay. GATA-1 mRNA expression was modulated by EDRF1 gene transfection. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay suggested that the DNA-binding activity of GATA-1 was remarkably inhibited in K562 cells expressing EDRF1 antisense gene. DNA binding activity of NF-E2 was at the same level as control experiment. Therefore EDRF1 may play a role in erythroid proliferation and differentiation by affecting the interaction between GATA-1 and its cis-elements.  相似文献

The locus activating region (LAR), contained within 30 kb of chromatin flanking the human beta-globin gene cluster, has recently been shown to be essential for high level beta-globin gene expression. To determine the effect of fragments containing LAR sequences on globin gene expression, mRNA from a marked gamma-globin gene linked to LAR fragments was assayed in stably transfected K562 erythroleukemia cells. DNaseI hypersensitive site II (HS II), located 10.9 kb upstream of the epsilon-globin gene, was required for high level gamma-globin gene expression. We also showed that a 46 bp enhancer element within HS II was necessary and sufficient for the increased gamma-globin gene expression observed with hemin induced erythroid maturation of K562 cells. These results localize a distant regulatory element important for activation of globin genes during human erythroid cell maturation.  相似文献

Expression and regulation of microRNAs is an emerging issue in erythroid differentiation and globin gene expression in hemoglobin disorders. In the first part of this study microarray analysis was performed both in mithramycin-induced K562 cells and erythroid precursors from healthy subjects or β-thalassemia patients producing low or high levels of fetal hemoglobin. We demonstrated that: (a) microRNA-210 expression is higher in erythroid precursors from β-thalassemia patients with high production of fetal hemoglobin; (b) microRNA-210 increases as a consequence of mithramycin treatment of K562 cells and human erythroid progenitors both from healthy and β-thalassemia subjects; (c) this increase is associated with erythroid induction and elevated expression of γ-globin genes; (d) an anti-microRNA against microRNA-210 interferes with the mithramycin-induced changes of gene expression. In the second part of the study we have obtained convergent evidences suggesting raptor mRNA as a putative target of microRNA-210. Indeed, microRNA-210 binding sites of its 3’-UTR region were involved in expression and are targets of microRNA-210-mediated modulation in a luciferase reporter assays. Furthermore, (i) raptor mRNA and protein are down-regulated upon mithramycin-induction both in K562 cells and erythroid progenitors from healthy and β-thalassemia subjects. In addition, (ii) administration of anti-microRNA-210 to K562 cells decreased endogenous microRNA-210 and increased raptor mRNA and protein expression. Finally, (iii) treatment of K562 cells with premicroRNA-210 led to a decrease of raptor mRNA and protein. In conclusion, microRNA-210 and raptor are involved in mithramycin-mediated erythroid differentiation of K562 cells and participate to the fine-tuning and control of γ-globin gene expression in erythroid precursor cells.  相似文献

Sp/KLF family of factors regulates gene expression by binding to the CACCC/GC/GT boxes in the DNA through their highly conserved three zinc finger domains. To investigate the role of this family of factors in erythroid differentiation and globin gene expression, we first measured the expression levels of selected Sp/KLF factors in primary cells of fetal and adult stages of erythroid development. This quantitative analysis revealed that their expression levels vary significantly in cells of either stages of the erythroid development. Significant difference in their expression levels was observed between fetal and adult erythroid cells for some Sp/KLF factors. Functional studies using RNA interference revealed that the silencing of Sp1 and KLF8 resulted in elevated level of gamma globin expression in K562 cells. In addition, K562 cells become visibly red after Sp1 knockdown. Benzidine staining revealed significant hemoglobinization of these cells, indicating erythroid differentiation. Moreover, the expression of PU.1, ETS1 and Notch1 is significantly down-regulated in the cells that underwent erythroid differentiation following Sp1 knockdown. Overexpression of PU.1 or ETS1 efficiently blocked the erythroid differentiation caused by Sp1 knockdown in K562 cells. The expression of c-Kit, however, was significantly up-regulated. These data indicate that Sp1 may play an important role in erythroid differentiation.  相似文献

Rapid reprogramming of globin gene expression in transient heterokaryons   总被引:52,自引:0,他引:52  
M H Baron  T Maniatis 《Cell》1986,46(4):591-602
Interspecific heterokaryons were formed by fusing adult mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells and human embryonic/fetal erythroid (K562) cells with each other, or with a variety of mouse and human nonerythroid cell types. Analysis of total cellular RNA isolated 24 hr after fusion revealed that normally inactive globin genes can be activated in these "transient" heterokaryons, in which the nuclei do not fuse. In general, the types of globin genes expressed in the donor erythroid cell are activated in the nucleus of the recipient cell. Therefore, erythroid cells contain transacting regulatory factors that are capable of activating the expression of globin genes in a stage- and tissue-specific manner. These observations also indicate that globin genes are not irreversibly repressed in differentiated cells and that their expression can be rapidly reprogrammed in the presence of the appropriate regulatory factors.  相似文献

The receptor for transferrin plays an important role both in tumor cell growth and in hemoglobin synthesis. In this paper, we demonstrate that the monoclonal antibody 42/6 to human transferrin receptor inhibits iron uptake in the human leukemic K562 cell line and suppresses hemoglobin accumulation in K562 cells induced to erythroid differentiation by butyric acid. In contrast, only slight inhibitory effects were observed on cell proliferation of both uninduced and erythroid-induced K562 cells treated with the 42/6 monoclonal antibody. In addition, the 42/6 monoclonal antibody to human transferrin receptor does not inhibit butyric acid-induced accumulation of gamma-globin mRNA. The effect of the 42/6 monoclonal antibody on hemoglobin synthesis appears to be restricted to human cell lines, as murine Friend erythroleukemic cells undergo erythroid differentiation when cultured in the presence of hexamethylenebisacetamide plus the 42/6 monoclonal antibody. The findings reported in this paper suggest (a) a dissociation of iron transport and accumulation of heme molecules from the expression of globin genes and (b) a different requirement of iron uptake by different iron-dependent functions such as cell proliferation and hemoglobin expression.  相似文献

The core of DNase hypersensitive site (HS) 2 from the beta-globin locus control region is a potent enhancer of globin gene expression. Although it has been considered to contain only positive cis-regulatory sequences, our study of the enhancement conferred by segments of HS2 in erythroid cells reveals a novel negative element. Individual cis-regulatory elements from HS2 such as E boxes or Maf-response elements produced as great or greater enhancement than the intact core in mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells, indicating the presence of negative elements within HS2. A deletion series through HS2 revealed negative elements at the 5' and 3' ends of the core. Analysis of constructs with and without the 5' negative element showed that the effect is exerted on the promoters of globin genes expressed at embryonic, fetal, or adult stages. The negative effect was observed in bipotential human cells (K562 and human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells), proerythroblastic mouse (MEL) cells, and normal adult human erythroid cells. The novel negative element also functions after stable integration into MEL chromosomes. Smaller deletions at the 5' end of the HS2 core map the negative element within a 20-base pair region containing two conserved sequences.  相似文献

In China, the traditional Chinese medicine “YiSui ShenXu Granule” has been used for treating β-thalassemia over 20 years and known to be effective in clinic. Several purified components from “YiSui ShenXu Granule” are tested in K562 cells to reveal its effect on globin expression and erythroid differentiation, and one of the purified components, emodin, was demonstrated to increase the expression of α-, ε-, γ-globin, CD235a, and CD71 in K562 cells. Moreover, the increase of their expression is emodin concentration-dependent. The mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles are further analyzed and 417 mRNAs and 35 miRNAs with differential expression between untreated and emodin-treated K562 cells were identified. Among them, two mRNAs that encode known positive regulators of erythropoiesis, ALAS2, and c-KIT respectively, increased during emodin-induced K562 erythroid differentiation, meanwhile, two negative regulators, miR-221 and miR-222, decreased during this process. These results indicate that emodin can improve the expression of globin genes in K562 cells and also induce K562 cells to erythroid differentiation possibly through up-regulating ALAS2 and c-KIT and down-regulating miR-221 and miR-222.  相似文献
