Impaired Granulocytic Differentiation In Vitro in Hematopoietic Cells Lacking Retinoic Acid Receptors alpha 1 and gamma  

Jean Labrecque, Deborah Allan, Pierre Chambon, Norman N. Iscove, David Lohnes, and Trang Hoang

From the Clinical Research Institute of Montréal, Montréal, Québec, Canada; the Departments of Pharmacology, Molecular Biology, and Biochemistry, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Québec, Canada; the Laboratoire de Génétique Moléculaire des Eukaryotes du CNRS, Strasbourg, France; and the Ontario Cancer Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Transcripts for the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) alpha 1, alpha 2, gamma 1, and gamma 2 were found in the granulocytic lineage (Gr-1+ cells) through semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The screening of single cell cDNA libraries derived from hematopoietic progenitors also showed the presence of RARalpha and, to a lesser extent, RARgamma transcripts in committed granulocyte (colony-forming unit-granulocyte [CFU-G]) or granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) colony-forming cells. The contribution of RARalpha 1 and gamma to hematopoietic cell differentiation was therefore investigated in mice bearing targeted disruption of either one or both of these loci. Because RARgamma and RARalpha 1gamma compound null mutants die shortly after birth, bone marrow cells were collected from fetuses at 18.5 days postcoitum (dpc) and evaluated for growth and differentiation in culture in the presence of Steel factor (SF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and erythropoietin (Epo). The frequency of colony-forming cells from bone marrow populations derived from RARalpha 1/gamma double null mice was not significantly different from that of RARgamma or RARalpha 1 single nulls or from wild-type controls. In addition, the distribution of erythroid, granulocyte, and macrophage colonies was comparable between hematopoietic cells from all groups, suggesting that lineage commitment was not affected by the lack of RARalpha 1 and/or RARgamma . Colony cells were then harvested individually and evaluated by morphologic criteria. While terminal granulocyte differentiation was evident in wild-type cells and colonies from either single null mutant, colonies derived from RARalpha 1-/-gamma -/- bone marrow populations were blocked at the myelocyte and, to a lesser extent, at the metamyelocyte stages, whereas erythroid and macrophage differentiation was not affected. Together, these results indicate that both RARalpha 1 and gamma  are required for terminal maturation in the granulocytic lineage in vitro, but appear to be dispensable for the early stages of hematopoietic cell development. Our results raise the possibility that in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), the different RARalpha fusion proteins cause differentiation arrest at a stage when further maturation requires not only RARalpha , but also RARgamma . Finally, bone marrow cells appear to differentiate normally in vivo, suggesting an effective compensation mechanism in the RARalpha 1/gamma double null mice.
