Glycoprotein (GP) IX is a subunit of the von Willebrand receptor,
GPIb-V-IX, which mediates adhesion of platelets to the subendothelium of damaged blood vessels. Previous characterization of the GPIX promoter identified a functional Ets site that, when disrupted, reduced
promoter activity. However, the Ets protein(s) that regulated GPIX
promoter expression was unknown. In this study, transient cotransfection of several GPIX promoter/reporter constructs into 293T
kidney fibroblasts with a Fli-1 expression vector shows that the
oncogenic protein Fli-1 can transactivate the GPIX promoter when an
intact GPIX Ets site is present. In addition, Fli-1 binding of the GPIX
Ets site was identified in antibody supershift experiments in nuclear
extracts derived from hematopoietic human erythroleukemia cells.
Comparative studies showed that Fli-1 was also able to transactivate
the GPIb and, to a lesser extent, the GPIIb promoter. Immunoblot
analysis identified Fli-1 protein in lysates derived from platelets. In
addition, expression of Fli-1 was identified immunohistochemically in
megakaryocytes derived from CD34+ cells treated with the
megakaryocyte differentiation and proliferation factor, thrombopoietin.
These results suggest that Fli-1 is likely to regulate lineage-specific
genes during megakaryocytopoiesis.
