NF- B/Rel designates a widely distributed family of transcription
factors involved in immune and acute phase responses. Here, the
expression and function of NF- B factors in erythroid proliferation and differentiation were explored. In an erythroleukemia cell line,
TF-1, high levels of p105/p50, p100/p52, p65, and I B were detected 24 hours after growth factor deprivation. In response to
granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) stimulation, significant induction of p52 expression was observed. GM-CSF also induced nuclear translocation of both p52 and p65. No induction of
NF- B factors was observed with erythropoietin stimulation of TF-1
cells. Overexpression of p52 and p65 in TF-1 cells by transient
transfection resulted in significant induction of a B-TATA-luciferase reporter plasmid, showing that these factors are
functional in vivo in erythroid cells. To determine whether NF- B
factors may play a role in normal erythropoiesis, levels of these
factors were determined in burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E)-derived cells at different stages of differentiation. The
NF- B factors p105/p50, p100/p52, and p65 were highly expressed in
early BFU-E-derived precursors, which are rapidly proliferating, and
declined during maturation. Furthermore, nuclear levels of NF- B
factors p50, p52, and p65 were higher in less mature precursors (day 10 BFU-E-derived cells) compared with more differentiated (day 14)
erythroblasts. In nuclear extracts from day 10 BFU-E-derived cells,
p50, p52, and p65 were able to form complexes, which bound to B
sites in the promoters of both the c-myb and c-myc
genes, suggesting that c-myb and c-myc may be among the B-containing genes regulated by NF- B factors in normal erythroid cells. Taken together, these data show that NF- B factors are modulated by GM-CSF
and suggest they function to regulate specific B containing genes
involved in erythropoiesis.
