Simultaneous expression of globin genes for embryonic and adult hemoglobins during mammalian ontogeny.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dominant hemoglobin of the adult hamster was detected in yolk-sac erythroid cells, and its identity was confirmed by peptide mapping and by analysis of relevant peptides. Both the presence and active synthesis of two embryonic hemoglobins presumed to exist only in yolk-sac erythroid cells were detected in neonatal liver and spleen. Thus the time span of expression of both embryonic and adult globin genes during mammalian ontogeny may be considerably broader than presently believed.

In situ hybridization reveals co-expression of embryonic and adult alpha globin genes in the earliest murine erythrocyte progenitors.
Murine erythropoiesis begins with the formation of primitive red blood cells in the blood islands of the embryonic yolk sac on day 7.5 of gestation. By analogy to human erythropoiesis, it has been thought that there is a gradual switch from the exclusive expression of the embryonic alpha-like globin (zeta) to the mature adult form (alpha) in these early mouse cells. We have used in situ hybridi...
متن کاملSimultaneous regulation of miR-451 and miR-191 led to erythroid fate decision of mouse embryonic stem cell
Objective(s): Various microRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed during development of mammalian cells, when they aid in modulating gene expression by mediating mRNA transcript cleavage and/or regulation of translation rate. miR-191 and miR-451 have been shown to be critical regulators of hematopoiesis and have important roles in the induction of erythroid fate decision. So, the aim of this study is inve...
متن کاملEmbryonic hemoglobins are expressed in definitive cells.
Human embryonic zeta and epsilon globin chains are synthesized in yolk sac-derived primitive erythroid cells, and decrease rapidly during definitive erythropoiesis. Examination of zeta and epsilon globin expression at the cellular level using dual-color immunofluorescence staining with specific monoclonal antibodies showed that embryonic globin proteins are present in definitive erythroid cells...
متن کاملOntogeny of hemoglobin in the house sparrow.
SUMMARY A 'switchover' from synthesis of predominantly embryonic hemoglobin to synthesis of predominantly adult hemoglobin occurs during differentiation of the house sparrow. This 'switchover' is demonstrated by a change in electrophoretic pattern generally comparable with that of the chicken, slightly different from those of the duck and man, and, perhaps, dissimilar to that of the red-wing bl...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of fetal to adult hemoglobin switching: new therapeutic opportunities.
In humans, embryonic, fetal, and adult hemoglobins are sequentially expressed in developing erythroblasts during ontogeny. For the past 40 years, this process has been the subject of intensive study because of its value to enlighten the biology of developmental gene regulation and because fetal hemoglobin can significantly ameliorate the clinical manifestations of both sickle cell disease and β...
