Mutations of the receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit or its
ligand stem cell factor (SCF), which is encoded as a soluble and
membrane-associated protein by the Steel gene in mice, lead to
deficiencies of germ cells, melanocytes, and hematopoiesis, including
the erythroid lineage. In the present study, we have used genetic
methods to study the role of membrane or soluble presentation of SCF in
hematopoiesis. Bone marrow-derived stromal cells expressing only a
membrane-restricted (MR) isoform of SCF induced an elevated and
sustained tyrosine phosphorylation of both c-kit and
erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) and significantly greater proliferation
of an erythrocytic progenitor cell line compared with stromal cells
expressing soluble SCF. Transgene expression of MR-SCF in
Steel-dickie (Sld) mutants
resulted in a significant improvement in the production of red blood
cells, bone marrow hypoplasia, and runting. In contrast, overexpression
of the full-length soluble form of SCF transgene had no effect on
either red blood cell production or runting but corrected the myeloid
progenitor cell deficiency seen in these mutants. These data provide
the first evidence of differential functions of SCF isoforms in vivo
and suggest an abnormal signaling mechanism as the cause of the severe
anemia seen in mutants of the Sl gene.
