pRB and E2F4 play distinct cell-intrinsic roles in fetal erythropoiesis

Abstract: The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein pRB functions, at least in part, by directly binding to and modulating the activity of the E2F transcription factors. Previous studies have shown that both E2F4 and pRB play important roles in fetal erythropoiesis. Given that these two proteins interact directly we investigated the overlap of E2F4 and pRB function in this process by analyzing E2f4−/−, conditional Rb knockout (Rb1lox/1lox), and compound E2f4−/−;Rb1lox/1lox embryos. At E15.5 E2f4−/− and Rb1lox/1lox fet… Show more

“…Thus far, the biological performance of GO on erythroid progenitor cells has not been investigated. We here assessed the impact of GO exposure on primary E14.5 fetal liver cells, which are predominantly erythroid progenitor cells with a small portion of other types of cells, such as macrophages [19,27,28]. GO provoked the substantial cell death of E14.5 fetal liver cells via apoptosis, as shown in Figure 5A, the percentages of Q4 (early apoptosis) plus Q2 (late apoptosis) were significantly increased in GO-treated cells (at 20 μg/ml, P < 0.05) compared to the control cells.…”

“…They are expressed from a doxycycline (dox)inducible vector allowing for unlimited growth in the presence of EPO, SCF, and dox, and differentiation in the presence of EPO but without dox and SCF. Lack of p53 does not affect differentiation, but retinoblastoma is required for terminal erythroid differentiation [103][104][105]. Dox-inducible expression was also used to establish immortalized erythroid cells lines from CB (HUDEP) and from adult EBLs cultured from CD34 + HSPC (BEL-A) [106,107].…”

“…The first is retinoblastoma (Rb), which regulates the G1-to-S-phase transition of the cell cycle. Targeted disruption of Rb results in fetal anemia, though its preferential requirement in definitive erythroid versus macrophage cells remains controversial (54, 7981). The second is Tropomodulin 3 (Tmod3) that binds tropomyosins and regulates the length and stability of actin filaments.…”
