Analysis of the effects of ZNF16 on gene expression in k562 cells.

ABSTRACT: We previously characterized zinc finger protein gene HZF1 (ZNF16) and demonstrated its important roles in erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells by loss-function assay. However its effect in erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and the mechanisms by which it functions have not been understood. In this study, we detected up-regulation of ZNF16 during erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells and normal CD34+ HSPCs, and demonstrated that ZNF16 promotes erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation by gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments. Gene expression profiling by mRNA array and PCR validation in the K562 transforments with ZNF16 over-expression suggested that cell division cycle-associa
