Morris, Jack L. Haar, Maqsood A. Wani, Jerry B. Lingrel, Karin M. L. Gaensler, and Joyce A. Lloyd From the Department of Human Genetics, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA; the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA; the Department of Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry, and Microbiology, College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH; and the Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, CA. The Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) are a family of C2/H2 zinc finger DNA-binding proteins that are important in controlling developmental programs. Erythroid Krüppel-like factor (EKLF or KLF1) positively regulates the -globin gene in definitive erythroid cells. KLF2 (LKLF) is closely related to EKLF and is expressed in erythroid cells. KLF2-/- mice die between embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) and E14.5, because of severe intraembryonic hemorrhaging. They also display growth retardation and anemia. We investigated the expression of the -like globin genes in KLF2 knockout mice. Our results show that KLF2-/- mice have a significant reduction of murine embryonic Ey- and h1-globin but not -globin gene expression in the E10.5 yolk sac, compared with wild-type mice. The expression of the adult maj- and min-globin genes is unaffected in the fetal livers of E12.5 embryos. In mice carrying the entire human globin locus, KLF2 also regulates the expression of the human embryonic -globin gene but not the adult -globin gene, suggesting that this developmental-stage-specific role is evolutionarily conserved. KLF2 also plays a role in the maturation and/or stability of erythroid cells in the yolk sac. KLF2-/- embryos have a significantly increased number of primitive erythroid cells undergoing apoptotic cell death.
