Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital red cell aplasia in which 25% of the patients have a mutation in the ribosomal protein S19 (RPS19) gene. In order to study effects of RPS19 deficiency in hematopoiesis we transduced CD34+ umbilical cord blood (CB) and bone marrow (BM) cells with three lentiviral vectors expressing siRNA against RPS19 and one scrambled control vector. All vectors also express GFP. Transduction with the siRNA vectors reduced RPS19 mRNA levels to various degrees, which resulted in erythroid defects, correlating to the degree of RPS19 downregulation and was rescued by expression of an siRNA-resistant RPS19 transcript. Erythroid colony formation capacity conjointly decreased with RPS19 levels in CD34+ CB and BM cells. In liquid culture supporting erythroid differentiation, RPS19-silenced as well as DBA patient CD34+ cells exhibited reduced proliferative capacity and impaired erythroid differentiation resulting in fewer CFU-Es. When assaying myeloid development a less pronounced influence on proliferation was seen. This study shows for the first time that RPS19 silencing decreases the proliferative capacity of hematopoietic progenitors and leads to a defect in erythroid development.
