We previously reported that the mouse GATA-2 gene is
regulated by two alternative promoters (Minegishi et al, J
Biol Chem, 273:3625, 1998). Although the more proximal IG (general)
promoter is active in almost all GATA-2-expressing cells, the distal
IS (specific) promoter activity was selectively detected in
hematopoietic tissues but not in other mesodermal tissues. We report
here in vivo analysis of the GATA-2 locus and its regulatory
characteristics in hematopoietic tissues of transgenic mice. Transgenes
containing 6 or 7 kbp of sequence flanking the 5' end of the IS
first exon direct expression of -galactosidase or green fluorescent
protein (GFP) reporter genes specifically to the para-aortic
splanchnopleura, aorta-gonads, and mesonephros (AGM) region, and in the
neural tissues. In situ hybridization analysis showed that reporter
gene expression specifically recapitulates the endogenous expression profile of GATA-2 in these tissues. The flk-1, CD34, c-kit, and CD45
antigens were identified in the GFP-positive cells from the AGM region
and fetal liver, indicating that GATA-2 is expressed in immature
hematopoietic cells. Deletion of 3.5 kbp from the 5' end of the
6.0 kbp IS promoter construct, including one of the DNase I
hypersensitive sites, completely abolished hematopoietic expression.
These experiments describe an early developmental GATA-2 hematopoietic
enhancer located between 6.0 and 2.5 kbp 5' to the IS exon.
