Impairment of human terminal erythroid differentiation by histone deacetylase 5 deficiency.

ABSTRACT: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a group of enzymes that catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from histone and nonhistone proteins. HDACs have been shown to have diverse functions in a wide range of biological processes. However, their roles in mammalian erythropoiesis remain to be fully defined. This study showed that, of the 11 classic HDAC family members, 6 (HDAC1, -2, -3, and HDAC5, -6, -7) are expressed in human erythroid cells, with HDAC5 most significantly upregulated during terminal erythroid differentiation. Knockdown of HDAC5 by either short hairpin RNA or small interfering RNA in human CD34+ cells followed by erythroid cell culture led to increased apoptosis, decreased chromatin condensation, and impaired enucleation of erythroblasts. Biochemical analyses revealed that HDAC5 de
