Targeted disruption of the activating transcription factor 4 gene results in severe fetal anemia in mice

From the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular
Genetics, University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Activating transcription factor (ATF) 4 is a ubiquitous basic
leucine-zipper transcription factor that is a member of the ATF/cyclic
adenosine monophosphate responsive element-binding (CREB) protein
family. To determine the in vivo function of ATF4, the ATF4 gene in
murine embryonic stem cells was deleted and homozygous mutant mice were
generated. ATF4 null fetuses were severely anemic because of an
impairment in fetal-liver definitive hematopoiesis; the hematocrit in
15.5-day mutant fetuses was 0.15, whereas that in controls was
0.35. The fetal livers in homozygous ATF4 mutants were pale and
hypoplastic. In vitro culture of fetal-liver cells showed fewer
hematopoietic progenitors per embryo and a dramatic decrease in the
size of progenitor colonies. Culture of primary murine embryonic
fibroblasts showed a proliferative defect. These results suggest that
ATF4 is critical, in a cell-autonomous manner, for normal cellular
proliferation, especially for the high-level proliferation required
during fetal-liver hematopoiesis.
