CCAAT displacement protein (cux/CDP) is an atypical homeodomain
protein that represses expression of several developmentally regulated
lymphoid and myeloid genes in vitro, including gp91-phox, immunoglobulin heavy chain, the T-cell receptor and chains, and
CD8. To determine how this activity affects cell development in vivo, a
hypomorphic allele of cux/CDP was created by gene targeting. Homozygous
mutant mice (cux/CDP HD/ HD) demonstrated a partial
neonatal lethality phenotype. Surviving animals suffered from a wasting
disease, which usually resulted in death between 2 and 3 weeks of age.
Analysis of T lymphopoiesis demonstrated that
cux/CDP HD/ HD mice had dramatically reduced thymic
cellularity due to enhanced apoptosis, with a preferential loss of
CD4+CD8+ thymocytes. Ectopic CD25 expression
was also observed in maturing thymocytes. B lymphopoiesis was also
perturbed, with a 2- to 3-fold reduction in total bone marrow B-lineage
cells and a preferential loss of cells in transition from pro-B/pre-BI
to pre-BII stages due to enhanced apoptosis. These lymphoid
abnormalities were independent of effects related to antigen receptor
rearrangement. In contrast to the lymphoid demise,
cux/CDP HD/ HD mice demonstrated myeloid hyperplasia.
Bone marrow reconstitution experiments identified that many of the
hematopoietic defects were linked to microenvironmental effects,
suggesting that underexpression of survival factors or overexpression
of death-inducing factors accounted for the phenotypes observed. Tumor
necrosis factor (TNF) levels were elevated in several tissues,
especially thymus, suggesting that TNF may be a target gene
for cux/CDP-mediated repression. These data suggest that cux/CDP
regulates normal hematopoiesis, in part, by modulating the levels of
survival and/or apoptosis factors expressed by the microenvironment.
