Transcriptome of EpoR-/- CFU-E cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: During erythropoiesis, erythroid progenitor cells proliferate in response to erythropoietin (Epo) and progressively differentiate, which encompasses an increasing accumulation of iron-bound hemoglobin. The impact of Epo on these dynamic processes remained to be resolved. By combining the development of a time-collapsed super SILAC method with transcriptome analysis we examined Epo-induced alterations in the proteome of erythroid progenitor cells at the colony-forming unit erythroid stage (CFU E). We showed that the timing of a major increase in the transcription factors GATA1 and TAL1 precedes the cessation of cell cycle progression but coincides with a massive upregulation of enzymes of the heme biosynthetic pathway. A failure of this upregulation due to the absence of the Epo receptor resulted in massive iron accumulation in the fetal liver and dilation of the maternal vasculature in the placenta. Thus, Epo-induced dynamic proteome adaptations in CFU E cells not only prevent anemia but also severe iron-intoxication in embryos.
