The transcriptional and regulatory identity of erythropoietin producing cells


ABSTRACT: Erythropoietin (Epo) is the master regulator of erythropoiesis and oxygen homeostasis. Despite its physiological importance, the molecular and genomic contexts of the cells responsible for renal Epo production have not yet been resolved, limiting effective cell-based therapies for anemia. Here, we performed single-cell profiling of an Epo reporter mouse to molecularly identify Epo-producing cells under hypoxic conditions. We report that a distinct and homogeneous population of kidney stromal cells, which we name Norn cells, are the sole source of Epo production in vivo. Extensive characterization of the Norn epigenetic and transcriptional landscapes revealed Norn-specific markers, pathways, and transcription factor circuits conserved from mice to humans. These findings open new avenues to functionally dissect EPO gene regulation in human evolution and disease, and pave the way for the next generation of genetic and cell-based approaches for EPO therapies.
