The "zinc-finger" transcription factor GATA-1 was first shown
in cells of erythroid lineage. It is also expressed in cells of other
hematopoietic lineages including megakaryocytes, mast cells, and
eosinophils. GATA-1 is now considered to be one of the central
regulators in hematopoietic cell differentiation. To further analyze
the role of GATA-1 in controlling differentiation from hematopoietic
stem cells, we investigated the phenotypic changes induced by the
overexpression of murine GATA-1 in the murine myeloid leukemic cell
line, M1. Forced expression of GATA-1 induced the appearance of
erythroid cells and megakaryocytes as assessed by cellular morphology,
acetylcholinesterase activity, and expression of platelet factor 4 and
-globin mRNA synthesis. Because the c-mpl ligand, thrombopoietin,
plays an important role in megakaryopoiesis, the expression of c-mpl
and c-mpl ligand (thrombopoietin) mRNA was analyzed by Northern blot
and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in M1
cells overexpressing GATA-1. The c-mpl ligand mRNA was equally
expressed both in parental M1 cells and in those transfected with the
GATA-1 expression vector. In contrast, the mRNA expression of c-mpl was
increased only in GATA-1 expressing M1 cells differentiated towards
erythroid and megakaryocyte lineages. The increased expression of c-mpl
mRNA induced by GATA-1 raised the question as to whether or not GATA-1 transactivated the c-mpl promoter. The activity of the c-mpl promoter in the presence of cotransfected GATA-1 was significantly increased compared with that of the control. A plasmid with the mutated GATA-binding site did not show transactivation ability in the cotransfection with a GATA expression vector. These findings suggest that the upregulation of c-mpl induced by GATA-1 expression in M1 cells
is closely associated with erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation.
