IMiD CC-4047, a new analog of thalidomide, directly inhibits growth of B cell malignancies in vivo and in vitro, and exhibits stronger anti-angiogenic activity than thalidomide. However, there is little information on whether CC-4047 affects normal hematopoiesis. Here we investigated the effect of CC-4047 on lineage commitment and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. We found that CC-4047 effectively inhibits erythroid cell colony formation from CD34+ cells and increases the frequency of myeloid colonies. We also demonstrate that development of both erythropoietin-independent and erythropoietin-dependent red cell progenitors was strongly inhibited by CC-4047, while terminal red cell differentiation was unaffected. DNA microarray analysis revealed that red cell transcription factors, including GATA-1, GATA-2, EKLF and Gfi-1b, were down regulated in CC-4047 treated CD34+ cells while myeloid transcription factors such as C/EBP , C/EBP , and C/EBP were induced. Analysis of cytokine secretion indicated that CC-4047 induced secretion of cytokines, which enhance myelopoiesis and inhibit erythropoiesis. In conclusion, these data indicate that CC-4047 might directly influence lineage commitment of hematopoietic cells by increasing the propensity of stem and/or progenitor cells to undergo myeloid cell development and concomitantly inhibiting red cell development. Therefore, CC-4047 provides a valuable tool to study the mechanisms underlying lineage commitment.
