Transferrin receptor 1 is required for enucleation of mouse erythroblasts during terminal differentiation.

FEBS Open Bio 2019 Februrary
Enucleation is the process whereby the nucleus is extruded from the erythroblast during late stage mammalian erythropoiesis. However, the specific signaling pathways involved in this process remain unclear. To better understand the mechanisms underlying erythroblast enucleation, we investigated erythroblast enucleation using both the spleens of adult mice with phenylhydrazine-induced anemia and mouse fetal livers. Our results indicated that both iron-bound transferrin (holo-Tf) and the small-molecule iron transporter hinokitiol with iron ions (hinokitiol plus iron) promote hemoglobin synthesis and the enucleation of mouse spleen-derived erythroblasts. Although an antitransferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) monoclonal antibody inhibited both enucleation and hemoglobin synthesis promoted by holo-Tf, it inhibited only enucleation, but not hemoglobin synthesis, promoted by hinokitiol plus iron. Furthermore, siRNA against mouse TfR1 were found to suppress the enucleation of mouse fetal liver-derived erythroblasts, and the endocytosis inhibitor MitMAB inhibited enucleation, hemoglobin synthesis, and the internalization of TfR1 promoted by both types of stimuli. Collectively, our results suggest that TfR1, iron ions, and endocytosis play important roles in mouse erythroblast enucleation.
