Global gene expression prolife of primary cultured murine stress erythroid progenitors.

ABSTRACT: Inflammation inhibits steady state erythropoiesis, while at the same time it induces stress erythropoiesis to maintain erythroid homeostasis. Stress erythropoiesis relies on the rapid expansion of early progenitors that do not differentiate until the increase in serum Epo promotes a transition in progenitors to enable their synchronous differentiation. RNA-seq analysis allows us to identify an inflammatory transcriptome signature in early progenitors that induces iNOS-derived NO production. The accumulation of NO establishes a metabolism that promotes cell proliferation while inhibiting the differentiation of early progenitors. In contrast, the transition of progenitors to differentiation is marked by the suppressed inflammatory responses and a consequent decrease of iNOS-derived NO. We show that Epo initiates this transition response by altering progenitor metabolism to support itaconate production, resulting in the activation of Nrf2 that suppresses the inflammatory responses, which in turn alleviates the NO-mediated inhibition of erythroid program. Consequent differentiation of stress erythroid progenitors generates a bolus of new erythrocytes to maintain erythroid homeostasis until steady state erythropoiesis can resume.

Project description:It is unclear how epigenetic changes regulate the induction of erythroid-specific genes during terminal erythropoiesis. Here we use global mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high-throughput sequencing (CHIP-seq) to investigate the changes that occur in mRNA levels, RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) occupancy and multiple post-translational histone modifications when erythroid progenitors differentiate into late erythroblasts. Among genes induced during this developmental transition, there was an increase in the occupancy of Pol II, the activation marks H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K9Ac and H4K16Ac, and the elongation methylation mark H3K79me2. In contrast, genes that were repressed during differentiation showed relative decreases in H3K79me2 levels yet had levels of Pol II binding and active histone marks similar to those in erythroid progenitors. We also found that relative changes in histone modification levels-in particular, H3K79me2 and H4K16ac-were most predictive of gene expression patterns. Our results suggest that in terminal erythropoiesis both promoter and elongation-associated marks contribute to the induction of erythroid genes, while gene repression is marked by changes in histone modifications mediating Pol II elongation. Our data maps the epigenetic landscape of terminal erythropoiesis and suggests that control of transcription elongation regulates gene expression during terminal erythroid differentiation. Mouse fetal liver cells are double-labeled for erythroid-specific TER119 and non erythroid-specific transferrin receptor (CD71) and then sorted by flow-cytometry. E14.5 fetal livers contain at least five distinct populations of cells (R1 through R5); as they progressively differentiate they gain TER119 and then gain and subsequently lose CD71. CFU-E cells and proerythroblasts make up the R1 population; R2 consists of proerythroblasts and early basophilic erythroblasts; R3 includes early and late basophilic erythroblasts; R4 is mostly polychromatophilic and orthochromatophilic erythroblasts; and R5 is comprised of late orthochromatophilic erythroblasts and reticulocytes. We have sorted for R2-R5 cells for RNA-seq experiment.
