چکیده

The J2E erythroid cell line, generated by transforming fetal liver cells, terminally differentiates in response to erythropoietin (epo). The cells expressed both adult and embryonic globin genes, although considerably more adult globin was produced, and transcripts for both species rose following exposure to epo. A 6-fold increase in transcription of the adult alpha and beta maj globin genes was observed after hormonal stimulation, which resulted in a substantial accumulation of mRNA. In addition, a modest but transient rise in translation enabled a 6-fold elevation in globin protein to occur. Concurrently, the total heme content rose markedly, enhancing hemoglobin synthesis 10-fold. The prosthetic group complexed entirely with globin proteins, and the hemoglobin produced was present as fully functional oxyhemoglobin, capable of gaseous exchange. We concluded, therefore, that hemoglobin synthesis in epo-induced J2E cells normally results from the coordinate stimulation of heme and globin synthesis. However, some mutant clones emerged where concomitant increases in globin and heme were not observed. Despite similar profiles for the appearance of hemoglobin and equivalent amounts of the oxygen carrier, several noticeable differences in globin synthesis were detected between epo-induced J2E cells and DMSO-stimulated murine erythroleukemia cells, i.e., the types of globin genes expressed, patterns of mRNA and protein production, and translation rates. These results demonstrate that the J2E cells provide a useful model system for investigating the molecular mechanisms of epo-initiated hemoglobin synthesis.

Erythropoietin-induced stimulation of differentiation and proliferation in J2E cells is not mimicked by chemical induction.

The J2E cell line is a novel erythroid cell line that differentiates in response to erythropoietin (Epo), the physiologic stimulus for erythropoiesis. After exposure to Epo, the cells synthesize hemoglobin, and we show here that this process is tightly linked to increases in cellular proliferation and DNA synthesis. The hormone-induced terminal differentiation also results in morphologic altera...

Lyn tyrosine kinase is essential for erythropoietin-induced differentiation of J2E erythroid cells.

Erythropoietin stimulates the immature erythroid J2E cell line to terminally differentiate and maintains the viability of the cells in the absence of serum. In contrast, a mutant J2E clone (J2E-NR) fails to mature in response to erythropoietin; however, it remains viable in the presence of the hormone. We have shown previously that intracellular signalling is disrupted in the J2E-NR cell line a...

Transplantation and Homing of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Treated with Erythropoietin in Spleen and Liver of irradiated mice

Background: The present study was designed to evaluate the homing potential of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) treated with erythropoietin (EPO) in hematopoietic organs such as spleen and liver after transplantation using morphological and immuno-histochemical techniques. Methods: Day-four embryoid body (EB)-derived cells were dissociated and re-plated in medium in the presence and absence of ...

Transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of erythroid gene expression in anthracycline-induced differentiation of human erythroleukemic cells.

Aclacinomycin (ACLA) and doxorubicin (DOX) were used at subtoxic concentrations to induce erythroid differentiation in the human leukemic cell line K562. Cell hemoglobinization was accompanied by the increased expression of genes encoding gamma-globin and porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), an enzyme of heme synthesis. By using run-on assays, ACLA was shown to induce an enhancement of the transcr...

Hemoglobin switching in sheep and goats. V. Effect of erythropoietin concentration on in vitro erythroid colony growth and globin synthesis

Erythroid colonies were generated in response to erythropoietin in plasma clot cultures of sheep and goat bone marrow cells. At low concentration erythropoietin only hemoglobin A (betaA globin) was synthesized in goat cultures, but at high concentrations 50% of the hemoglobin synthesized was hemoglobin C (betaC globin). This effect of erythropoietin on the expression of a specific beta globin g...
