Genome-wide chemical mutagenesis screens in the zebrafish
(Danio rerio) have led to the identification of novel genes
affecting vertebrate erythropoiesis. In determining if this approach
could also be used to clarify the molecular genetics of myelopoiesis, it was found that the developmental hierarchy of myeloid precursors in
the zebrafish kidney is similar to that in human bone marrow. Zebrafish
neutrophils resembled human neutrophils, possessing segmented nuclei
and myeloperoxidase-positive cytoplasmic granules. The zebrafish
homologue of the human myeloperoxidase (MPO) gene, which is
specific to cells of the neutrophil lineage, was cloned and used to
synthesize antisense RNA probes for in situ hybridization analyses of
zebrafish embryos. Granulocytic cells expressing zebrafish mpo were first evident at 18 hours after fertilization
(hpf) in the posterior intermediate cell mass (ICM) and on the anterior yolk sac by 20 hpf. By 24 hpf, mpo-expressing cells were
observed along the ICM and within the developing vascular system. Thus, the mpo gene should provide a useful molecular probe for
identifying zebrafish mutants with defects in granulopoiesis. The
expression of zebrafish homologues was also examined in 2 other
mammalian hematopoietic genes, Pu.1, which appears to
initiate a commitment step in normal mammalian myeloid development, and
L-Plastin, a gene expressed by human monocytes and
macrophages. The results demonstrate a high level of conservation of
the spatio-temporal expression patterns of these genes between
zebrafish and mammals. The morphologic and molecular genetic evidence
presented here supports the zebrafish as an informative model system
for the study of normal and aberrant human myelopoiesis.
