The suggested precursor-product relationship between the nuclear pre-mRNA and the cytoplasmic mRNA has created increased interest also in the structure of these RNA species. Previously we have been published electron micrographs of individual pre-mRNA molecules from erythroid cells. An intersting observation was the appearance of a contour, probably corresponding to higher ordered structures, on one end of 10 % of the pre-mRNA molecules from erythroid rabbit bone marrow cells (Fig. 1A). A virtual similar contour was observed in molecules of 9S globin mRNA from rabbit reticulocytes (Fig. 1B). A structural transformation in a linear contour occurs if the RNA is heated for 10 min to 90°C in the presence of 80 % formamide. This structural transformation is reversible when the denatured RNA is precipitated and redissolved in 0.2 M ammonium acetate.

AbstractThe human ζ-globin gene (HBZ) is transcribed in primitive erythroid cells only during the embryonic stages of development. Reactivation of this embryonic globin synthesis would likely alleviate symptoms both in α-thalassemia and sickle-cell disease. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling ζ-globin expression have remained largely undefined. Moreover, the pharmacologic agent capable of inducing ζ-globin production is currently unavailable. Here, we show that TRIAC, a bioactive thyroid hormone metabolite, significantly induced ζ-globin gene expression during zebrafish embryogenesis. The induction of ζ-globin expression by TRIAC was also observed in human K562 erythroleukemia cell line and primary erythroid cells. Thyroid hormone receptor α (THRA) deficiency abolished the ζ-globin-inducing effect of TRIAC. Furthermore, THRA could directly bind to the distal enhancer regulatory element to regulate ζ-globin expression. Our study provides the first evidence that TRIAC acts as a potent inducer of ζ-globin expression, which might serve as a new potential therapeutic option for patients with severe α-thalassemia or sickle-cell disease.

Abstract Murine erythroid precursor cells, stimulated to proliferate in vitro in the absence of added erythropoietin (EP) by the anemia strain of Friend virus (FVA), will subsequently respond to EP by complete erythrocyte differentiation. If not exposed to EP, the erythroid cells divide for about 120 hr in culture, and they maintain the potential for full differentiation in response to EP added at any time during the period from 72 to 120 hr. Between 96 and 120 hr of culture without added EP, the EP-sensitive erythroid precursor cells that have formed discrete erythroid bursts can be isolated in relatively large numbers from such cultures by plucking with a Pasteur pipette. The addition of EP initiates the final stages of erythroid differentiation, including heme synthesis in 70%-80% of these isolated cells. With respect to homogeneity of the precursor cells, quantity of EP-responsive cells obtainable, and uniformity of EP responsiveness, this system is uniquely favorable for biochemical studies of the late differentiation effects of EP. The overall changes in gene expression accompanying EP- induced terminal differentiation were examined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of proteins labeled for a short time with radioactive amino acids. Several new proteins are synthesized in these erythroid cells during terminal differentiation, but the number is a very small percentage of the total number of proteins being made. Thus, in this system, the effect of EP is to initiate expression of a small group of genes, including those for globins, spectrin, and other proteins involved in the final stages of erythroid differentiation.

Polyadenylation Signals

Ferrochelatase, which catalyses the last step in haem biosynthesis, i.e. the insertion of Fe(II) into protophorphyrin IX, is present in all cells, but is particularly abundant in erythroid cells during haemoglobinization. Using mouse ferrochelatase cDNA as a probe two ferrochelatase transcripts, having lengths of 2.9 kb and 2.2 kb, were found in extracts of mouse liver, kidney, brain, muscle and spleen, the 2.9 kb transcript being more abundant in the non-erythroid tissues and the 2.2 kb transcript more predominant in spleen. In mouse erythroleukemia cells the 2.9 kb ferrochelatase transcript is also more abundant; however, following induction of erythroid differentiation by dimethyl sulphoxide there is a preferential increase in the 2.2 kb transcript, which eventually predominates. With mouse reticulocytes, the purest immature erythroid cell population available, over 90% of the total ferrochelatase mRNA is present as the 2.2 kb transcript. Since there is probably only one mouse ferrochelatase gene, the occurrence of two ferrochelatase transcripts could arise from the use of two putative polyadenylation signals in the 3′ region of ferrochelatase DNA. This possibility was explored by using a 389 bp DNA fragment produced by PCR with synthetic oligoprimers having sequence similarity with a region between the polyadenylation sites. This fragment hybridized only to the 2.9 kb ferrochelatase transcript, indicating that the two transcripts differ at their 3′ ends and suggesting that the 2.2 kb transcript results from the utilization of the upstream polyadenylation signal. The preferential utilization of the upstream polyadenylation signal may be an erythroid-specific characteristic of ferrochelatase gene expression.
