To better understand the role of retinoids in myelopoiesis,
expression of the retinoid receptor genes (retinoic acid receptors [RARs] and retinoid X receptors [RXRs]) were examined
during differentiation of factor-dependent cell-Paterson
(FDCP)-mixA4 murine progenitor cells. The major
receptor expressed in undifferentiated A4 cells was RAR (primarily
the RAR 1 isoform). Following induction of myelomonocytic
differentiation with granulocyte and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factors, a dramatic increase in RAR
expression (particularly the RAR 2 isoform) was seen. In contrast,
expression of both RAR isoforms was rapidly extinguished upon
induction of erythroid differentiation with erythropoeitin (EPO). A
modest induction of RXR expression was seen, particularly during
differentiation in the myelomonocytic lineage. Low expression levels of
RAR 2 and RXR remained unchanged, irrespective of differentiation
pathway. Consistent with the gene expression patterns, RAR agonists
and antagonists stimulated myelomonocytic and erythroid differentiation of FDCP-mixA4 cells, respectively. Taken together, these results suggest that erythropoiesis and granulopoiesis require diminished and
enhanced RAR activities, respectively, which at physiological all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) concentrations may be
accomplished by reciprocal effects of EPO and myelomonocytic growth
factors on its expression. This hypothesis is corroborated by data
showing that RA, which positively regulates RAR 2 expression, can
exert inhibitory effects on erythroid differentiation.
