Popis: | Summary Red blood cells (RBCs), responsible for oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide exchange, are essential for our well-being. Alternative RBC sources are needed to meet the increased demand for RBC transfusions projected to occur as our population ages. We previously have discovered that erythroblasts derived from the early mouse embryo can self-renew extensively ex vivo for many months. To better understand the mechanisms regulating extensive erythroid self-renewal, global gene expression data sets from self-renewing and differentiating erythroblasts were analyzed and revealed the differential expression of Bmi-1. Bmi-1 overexpression conferred extensive self-renewal capacity upon adult bone-marrow-derived self-renewing erythroblasts, which normally have limited proliferative potential. Importantly, Bmi-1 transduction did not interfere with the ability of extensively self-renewing erythroblasts (ESREs) to terminally mature either in vitro or in vivo. Bmi-1-induced ESREs can serve to generate in vitro models of erythroid-intrinsic disorders and ultimately may serve as a source of cultured RBCs for transfusion therapy. Graphical Abstract Highlights • Bmi-1 promotes the extensive self-renewal of adult murine erythroblasts • Transfusion of iESRE leads to fully mature RBCs that circulate for 6–7 weeks in vivo Palis and colleagues determined that Bmi-1 is preferentially expressed in self-renewing erythroblasts and that Bmi-1 promotes the extensive self-renewal of erythroblasts derived from adult murine bone marrow, which normally have limited self-renewal capacity. Importantly, Bmi-1-induced self-renewing erythroblasts maintain their capacity to terminally mature into enucleated red cells both in vitro and in vivo. |
