Somatic activation of a conditional KrasG12D allele causes ineffective erythropoiesis in vivo.

ABSTRACT: Somatic activation of a conditional targeted Kras(G12D) allele induces a fatal myeloproliferative disease in mice that closely models juvenile and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. These mice consistently develop severe and progressive anemia despite adequate numbers of clonogenic erythroid progenitors in the bone marrow and expanded splenic hematopoiesis. Ineffective erythropoiesis is characterized by impaired differentiation. These results demonstrate that endogenous levels of oncogenic Ras have cell lineage-specific effects and support efforts to modulate Ras signaling for therapy of anemia in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative disorders.

Leukemogenic Ptpn11 allele causes defective erythropoiesis in mice.

Project description:Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2), encoded by PTPN11, regulates signaling networks and cell fate in many tissues. Expression of oncogenic PTPN11 in the hematopoietic compartment causes myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) in humans and mice. However, the stage-specific effect(s) of mutant Ptpn11 on erythroid development have remained unknown. We found that expression of an activated, leukemogenic Ptpn11 allele, Ptpn11D61Y, specifically in the erythroid lineage causes dyserythropoiesis in mice. Ptpn11D61Y progenitors produce excess cKIT+ CD71+ Ter119- cells and aberrant numbers of cKITl° CD71+ erythroblasts. Mutant erythroblasts show elevated activation of ERK, AKT and STAT3 in response to EPO stimulation, and MEK inhibitor treatment blocks Ptpn11D61Y-evoked erythroid hyperproliferation in vitro. Thus, the expression of oncogenic Ptpn11 causes dyserythropoiesis in a cell-autonomous manner in vivo.

SF3B1 deficiency impairs human erythropoiesis via activation of p53 pathway: implications for understanding of ineffective erythropoiesis in MDS.

Project description:BACKGROUND:SF3B1 is a core component of splicing machinery. Mutations in SF3B1 are frequently found in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), particularly in patients with refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS), characterized by isolated anemia. SF3B1 mutations have been implicated in the pathophysiology of RARS; however, the physiological function of SF3B1 in erythropoiesis remains unknown. METHODS:shRNA-mediated approach was used to knockdown SF3B1 in human CD34+ cells. The effects of SF3B1 knockdown on human erythroid cell differentiation, cell cycle, and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry. RNA-seq, qRT-PCR, and western blot analyses were used to define the mechanisms of phenotypes following knockdown of SF3B1. RESULTS:We document that SF3B1 knockdown in human CD34+ cells leads to increased apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of early-stage erythroid cells and generation of abnormally nucleated late-stage erythroblasts. RNA-seq analysis of SF3B1-knockdown erythroid progenitor CFU-E cells revealed altered splicing of an E3 ligase Makorin Ring Finger Protein 1 (MKRN1) and subsequent activation of p53 pathway. Importantly, ectopic expression of MKRN1 rescued SF3B1-knockdown-induced alterations. Decreased expression of genes involved in mitosis/cytokinesis pathway including polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) was noted in SF3B1-knockdown polychromatic and orthochromatic erythroblasts comparing to control cells. Pharmacologic inhibition of PLK1 also led to generation of abnormally nucleated erythroblasts. CONCLUSIONS:These findings enabled us to identify novel roles for SF3B1 in human erythropoiesis and provided new insights into its role in regulating normal erythropoiesis. Furthermore, these findings have implications for improved understanding of ineffective erythropoiesis in MDS patients with SF3B1 mutations.

Development of luspatercept to treat ineffective erythropoiesis.

Project description:Luspatercept (Reblozyl) was recently approved for treating patients with transfusion-dependent lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with ring sideroblasts (RS) and/or SF3B1 mutation who were not eligible for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) or patients for whom those agents failed. Luspatercept acts as an activin receptor type IIB fusion protein ligand trap that targets the altered transforming growth factor beta pathway in MDS, which is associated with impaired terminal erythroid maturation. Treatment with luspatercept results in decreased SMAD signaling, which enables erythroid maturation by means of late-stage erythroblast differentiation and thus improves anemia. ESAs, the current standard first-line therapeutic option for anemic lower-risk patients with MDS, also improve red cell parameters mainly by expanding proliferation of early erythroid progenitor cells. However, erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor (EPO-R) are also required for survival of late-stage definitive erythroid cells, and they play an essential role in promoting proliferation, survival, and appropriate timing of terminal maturation of primitive erythroid precursors. Thus, luspatercept joins the mechanism of ESAs in promoting erythroid maturation. Especially in the subgroup of MDS patients with RS, luspatercept showed high clinical activity for the treatment of anemia in the phase 2 (PACE-MDS) trial and subsequently in the phase 3 (MEDALIST) trial, which resulted in approval by both the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency in April 2020. Additional studies are needed to better understand the mechanism of action and pharmacodynamics of this novel agent in MDS.

Normal and ineffective erythropoiesis scRNA seq

Project description:Ineffective erythropoiesis, the death of maturing erythroid cells, is a common cause of anemia. To better understand why this occurs, we studied the fates and adaptations of single erythroid marrow cells from individuals with Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA), del(5q) myelodysplastic syndrome (del(5q) MDS), and normal controls, and defined an unhealthy (vs. healthy) differentiation trajectory, using velocity pseudotime and cell surface protein assessment. The pseudotime trajectories diverge immediately after the cells upregulate transferrin receptor (CD71), import iron, and initiate heme synthesis, although cell death occurs much later. Cells destined to die highly express heme-responsive genes, including ribosomal protein and globin genes. In contrast, surviving cells downregulate heme synthesis, while upregulating DNA damage response, hypoxia, and HIF1 pathways. Surprisingly, 24±12% of cells from controls follow the unhealthy trajectory, implying that heme also regulates cell fate decisions during normal red cell production. Del(5q) MDS (unlike DBA) results from somatic mutations, so many normal (unmutated) erythroid cells persist. By independently tracking their trajectory, we gained insight into why they cannot expand to prevent anemia. In addition, we show that intron retention is especially prominent during red cell differentiation. The additional information provided by messages with retained introns also allowed us to align data from multiple independent experiments and thus accurately query the transcriptomic changes that occur as single erythroid cells mature.

Improving Ineffective Erythropoiesis in Thalassemia: A Hope on the Horizon.

Project description:Beta-thalassemia is an inherited hemoglobinopathy characterized by the impaired synthesis of beta-globin chains of hemoglobin leading to chronic hemolytic anemia. The mainstay of treatment for most patients remains regular blood transfusions and iron chelation. This conventional therapy has many limitations and challenges. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is the only available curative treatment but the availability of a suitable donor, financial constraints, and a need for specialist physicians can be limiting factors. Gene therapy is an upcoming curative therapeutic modality. An increased understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms of thalassemia has paved the way for novel pharmacological agents targeting ineffective erythropoiesis. These drugs act by decreasing transfusion requirements and hence decrease transfusion-related complications. The present review intends to provide an insight into the recent advances in pharmacological agents targeting ineffective erythropoiesis. Literature was searched and relevant articles evaluating newer drugs in thalassemia were collected from databases, including Pubmed, Scopus, Prospero, Clinicaltrials.gov, Google Scholar, and the Google search engine. We used the following keywords: thalassemia, novel, treatment, drugs, and ineffective erythropoiesis during the initial search. Relevant titles and abstracts were screened to choose relevant articles. Further, the full-text articles were retrieved and relevant cross-references were scanned to collect information for the present review.

Decreased differentiation of erythroid cells exacerbates ineffective erythropoiesis in beta-thalassemia.

Project description:In beta-thalassemia, the mechanism driving ineffective erythropoiesis (IE) is insufficiently understood. We analyzed mice affected by beta-thalassemia and observed, unexpectedly, a relatively small increase in apoptosis of their erythroid cells compared with healthy mice. Therefore, we sought to determine whether IE could also be characterized by limited erythroid cell differentiation. In thalassemic mice, we observed that a greater than normal percentage of erythroid cells was in S-phase, exhibiting an erythroblast-like morphology. Thalassemic cells were associated with expression of cell cycle-promoting genes such as EpoR, Jak2, Cyclin-A, Cdk2, and Ki-67 and the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-X(L). The cells also differentiated less than normal erythroid ones in vitro. To investigate whether Jak2 could be responsible for the limited cell differentiation, we administered a Jak2 inhibitor, TG101209, to healthy and thalassemic mice. Exposure to TG101209 dramatically decreased the spleen size but also affected anemia. Although our data do not exclude a role for apoptosis in IE, we propose that expansion of the erythroid pool followed by limited cell differentiation exacerbates IE in thalassemia. In addition, these results suggest that use of Jak2 inhibitors has the potential to profoundly change the management of this disorder.

An activin receptor IIA ligand trap corrects ineffective erythropoiesis in ?-thalassemia.

Project description:The pathophysiology of ineffective erythropoiesis in ?-thalassemia is poorly understood. We report that RAP-011, an activin receptor IIA (ActRIIA) ligand trap, improved ineffective erythropoiesis, corrected anemia and limited iron overload in a mouse model of ?-thalassemia intermedia. Expression of growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), an ActRIIA ligand, was increased in splenic erythroblasts from thalassemic mice and in erythroblasts and sera from subjects with ?-thalassemia. Inactivation of GDF11 decreased oxidative stress and the amount of ?-globin membrane precipitates, resulting in increased terminal erythroid differentiation. Abnormal GDF11 expression was dependent on reactive oxygen species, suggesting the existence of an autocrine amplification loop in ?-thalassemia. GDF11 inactivation also corrected the abnormal ratio of immature/mature erythroblasts by inducing apoptosis of immature erythroblasts through the Fas-Fas ligand pathway. Taken together, these observations suggest that ActRIIA ligand traps may have therapeutic relevance in ?-thalassemia by suppressing the deleterious effects of GDF11, a cytokine which blocks terminal erythroid maturation through an autocrine amplification loop involving oxidative stress and ?-globin precipitation.

Mitoxantrone ameliorates ineffective erythropoiesis in a β-thalassemia intermedia mouse model.

Project description:Abstractβ-thalassemia is a condition characterized by reduced or absent synthesis of β-globin resulting from genetic mutations, leading to expanded and ineffective erythropoiesis. Mitoxantrone has been widely used clinically as an antitumor agent considering its ability to inhibit cell proliferation. However, its therapeutic effect on expanded and ineffective erythropoiesis in β-thalassemia is untested. We found that mitoxantrone decreased α-globin precipitates and ameliorated anemia, splenomegaly, and ineffective erythropoiesis in the HbbTh3/+ mouse model of β-thalassemia intermedia. The partially reversed ineffective erythropoiesis is a consequence of effects on autophagy as mitochondrial retention and protein levels of mTOR, P62, and LC3 in reticulocytes decreased in mitoxantrone-treated HbbTh3/+ mice. These data provide significant preclinical evidence for targeting autophagy as a novel therapeutic approach for β-thalassemia.

Ineffective erythropoiesis with reduced red blood cell survival in serotonin-deficient mice.

Project description:Serotonin (5-HT) has long been recognized as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, where it modulates a variety of behavioral functions. Availability of 5-HT depends on the expression of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), and the recent discovery of a dual system for 5-HT synthesis in the brain (TPH2) and periphery (TPH1) has renewed interest in studying the potential functions played by 5-HT in nonnervous tissues. Moreover, characterization of the TPH1 knockout mouse model (TPH1(-/-)) led to the identification of unsuspected roles for peripheral 5-HT, revealing the importance of this monoamine in regulating key physiological functions outside the brain. Here, we present in vivo data showing that mice deficient in peripheral 5-HT display morphological and cellular features of ineffective erythropoiesis. The central event occurs in the bone marrow where the absence of 5-HT hampers progression of erythroid precursors expressing 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2B) receptors toward terminal differentiation. In addition, red blood cells from 5-HT-deficient mice are more sensitive to macrophage phagocytosis and have a shortened in vivo half-life. The combination of these two defects causes TPH1(-/-) animals to develop a phenotype of macrocytic anemia. Direct evidence for a 5-HT effect on erythroid precursors is provided by supplementation of the culture medium with 5-HT that increases the proliferative capacity of both 5-HT-deficient and normal cells. Our thorough analysis of TPH1(-/-) mice provides a unique model of morphological and functional aberrations of erythropoiesis and identifies 5-HT as a key factor for red blood cell production and survival.
