Project description:Transcriptional profiles of kidneys that underwent reversible UUO model using model mice for erythropoietin-deficiency anemia (ISAM)
Project description:We established a novel mouse model for postnatal erythropoietin (Epo)-deficiency anaemia, designated ISAM (inherited super anemic mouse), using a transgenic complementation rescue technique. To identify Epo-regulated genes in vivo, we examined the mRNA expression profile in the bone marrow of ISAM 6 hours after recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) administration. Erythropoietin-induced gene expression in mouse bone marrow was measured at 6 hours after rHuEPO administration (3,000 U/kg). Three Epo-treated samples were analyzed, and two PBS-treated and one untreated samples were used as a control group.

Project description:The mechanism underlying thrombocytosis in patients with iron deficiency anemia remains unknown. We present findings that support the hypothesis that low iron biases the commitment of Megakaryocytic-Erythroid Progenitors (MEP) toward the megakaryocytic (Mk) lineage in mice. In MEP of Transmembrane serine protease 6 knockout (Tmprss6-/-) mice, which exhibit iron deficiency microcytic anemia concomitant with thrombocytosis, we observed a megakaryocytic (Mk) bias, decreased labile iron, and decreased proliferation relative to wild-type (WT) MEP. Bone marrow transplantation assays suggest that the systemic iron deficiency of the Tmprss6-/- recipients contributes to the MEP lineage commitment bias. Genes involved in metabolic, VEGF, and ERK pathways were enriched among those differentially expressed between WT and Tmprss6-/- MEP. Corroborating our findings from the murine model of chronic iron deficiency anemia, primary human MEP also exhibited decreased proliferation and Mk-biased commitment when their iron sensing pathways were disrupted by knockdown of Transferrin Receptor 2. These data are consistent with a model in which low iron in the marrow environment affects MEP metabolism, attenuates ERK signaling, slows proliferation, and biases MEP toward Mk lineage commitment.
