Effect of erythropoietin on the gene expression of Xenopus tropicalis peripheral blood cells.


ABSTRACT: The regulatory system of erythropoiesis through erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor (EPOR) is essential for vertebrates' life. In humans, EPO affects the erythroid progenitors and stimulates proliferation and differentiation. The EPO-EPOR axis is mainly mediated by the JAK2-STAT5 pathway. After terminal maturation, erythrocytes lost EPOR expression; however, erythrocytes of amphibian Xenopus tropicalis maintain EPOR expression even after their terminal maturation. Because erythrocytes of vertebrates except for adult mammals are nucleated, we hypothesized that EPO can alter its transcriptional state. To explore the effects of EPO on Xenopus mature erythrocytes, we performed RNA-Seq analysis on EPO-stimulated Xenopus peripheral blood cells. The EPO-stimulated group showed increased expression of direct target genes of STAT such as cish, socs3, and socs1 indicating a functional signal transduction system. Furthermore, we observed several EPO-responsive genes that were not reported in mammalian erythroid progenitors. These findings suggest the functional difference between enucleated erythrocytes in adult mammals and nucleated erythrocytes in fetal mammals and non-mammalian vertebrates.
