摘要
Mutations of the receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit or its ligand stem cell factor (SCF), which is encoded as a soluble and membrane-associated protein by the Steel gene in mice, lead to deficiencies of germ cells, melanocytes, and hematopoiesis, including the erythroid lineage. In the present study, we have used genetic methods to study the role of membrane or soluble presentation of SCF in hematopoiesis. Bone marrow-derived stromal cells expressing only a membrane-restricted (MR) isoform of Sep induced an elevated and sustained tyrosine phosphorylation of both c-kit and erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) and significantly greater proliferation of an erythrocytic progenitor cell line compared with stromal cells expressing soluble SCF. Transgene expression of MR-SCF in Steel-dickie (Sl(d)) mutants resulted in a significant improvement in the production of red blood cells, bone marrow hypoplasia, and runting. In contrast, overexpression of the full-length soluble form of Sep transgene had no effect on either red blood cell production or runting but corrected the myeloid progenitor cell deficiency seen in these mutants. These data provide the first evidence of differential functions of SCF isoforms in vivo and suggest an abnormal signaling mechanism as the cause of the severe anemia seen in mutants of the SI gene.
