Megakaryocytic and erythroid lineages derive from a common bipotential progenitor and share many transcription factors in common, most prominently factors of the GATA zinc finger family. Little is known about transcription factors unique to the megakaryocytic lineage that might program divergence from the erythroid pathway. To identify such factors, we employed the K562 system in which megakaryocyte lineage commitment is dependent on sustained ERK activation and is inhibited by stromal cell contact. During megakaryocytic induction in this system, the myeloid transcription factor RUNX1 underwent upregulation, dependent on ERK signaling and inhibitable by stromal cell contact. Immunostaining of normal human bone marrow confirmed strong expression of RUNX1 and cofactor CBF in megakaryocytes and minimal expression in erythroblasts. In primary human hematopoietic progenitor cultures, RUNX1 and CBF upregulation preceded megakaryocytic differentiation, and downregulation of these factors preceded erythroid differentiation. Functional studies showed cooperation among RUNX1, CBF and GATA-1 in the activation of a megakaryocytic promoter. By contrast, the RUNX1-ETO leukemic fusion protein potently repressed GATA-1 mediated transactivation. These functional interactions correlated with physical interactions observed between GATA-1 and RUNX1 factors. Enforced RUNX1 expression in K562 cells enhanced the induction of the megakaryocytic integrin proteins IIb and 2. These results suggest that RUNX1 may participate in programming of megakaryocytic lineage commitment through functional and physical interaction with GATA transcription factors. By contrast, RUNX1-ETO inhibition of GATA function may constitute a potential mechanism for the blockade of erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation seen in leukemias with t(8;21).
