The transcription factor GATA-1 is essential for erythroid differentiation. Recently, FAM210B, which encodes a mitochondrial inner membrane protein, has been identified as a novel target of GATA-1. To clarify the role of FAM210B, we depleted endogenous FAM210B in human iPS-derived erythroid progenitor (HiDEP-1) cells, and found that erythroid differentiation was more pronounced in the FAM210B depleted cells. Comprehensive metabolite analysis revealed a decline in mitochondrial function accompanied by increased lactate production, indicative of anaerobic glycolysis. Mass spectrometry revealed that FAM210B could interact with multiple subunits of mitochondrial ATP synthases, such as subunit alpha (ATP5A) and beta (ATP5B). Our results suggested that FAM210B contributes prominently to erythroid differentiation by regulating mitochondrial energy metabolism. This review will discuss the potential association between mitochondrial metabolism and erythropoiesis. |
