TGF-β1 is a key regulator of erythropoiesis, however, the mechanisms via which it regulates erythropoiesis are not well elucidated. Using myelodysplastic syndromes patient samples, we show that elevated TGF-β1 and SMAD2 signaling correlates with the degree of anemia. Functional studies in primary human HSPCs demonstrate that TGF-β1 exerts a bifurcated effect — suppressing proliferation and inducing premature erythroid differentiation — both of which are rescued by clinical-stage TGFBR1 inhibitors. Through integrative RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and Micro-C analyses, we found TGF-β1 activates the β-globin LCR, driving early differentiation, while concurrently disrupting the MYC enhancer–promoter interaction to block proliferation. We validated our erythropoiesis defect in vivo by performing single-cell RNA-seq in a TGF-β1 transgenic mouse. Our findings show that TGF-β1/SMAD2 signaling re-wire chromatin to regulate erythropoiesis by affecting β-LCR and MYC super enhancer regions.2026/07/22GSE320600GSM9546384GSM9546382GSM9546383GSM954638118460320600Homo sapiens[42129196]
