Transcription factor GATA-1 plays an important role in gene regulation during the development of erythroid cells. Several reports suggest that GATA-1 plays multiple roles in survival, proliferation, and differentiation of erythroid cells. However, little is known about the relationship between the level of GATA-1 expression and its nature of multifunction to affect erythroid cell fate. To address this issue, we developed in vitro embryonic stem (ES) culture system by using OP9 stromal cells (OP9/ ES cell co-culture system), and cultured the mutant (GATA-1.05 and GATA-1-null) and wild type (WT) ES cells, respectively. By using this OP9/ ES cell co-culture system, primitive and definitive erythroid cells were developed individually, and we examined how expression level of GATA-1 affects the development of erythroid cells. GATA-1.05 ES-derived definitive erythroid cells were immature with the appearance of proerythroblasts, and highly proliferated, compared with WT and GATA-1-null ES- derived erythroid cells. Extensive studies of cell cycle kinetics revealed that the GATA-1.05 proerythroblasts accumulated in S phase and expressed lower levels of p16(INK4A) than WT ES cell-derived proerythroblasts. We concluded that GATA-1 must achieve a critical threshold activity to achieve selective activation of specific target genes, thereby influencing the developmental decision of an erythroid progenitor cell to undergo apoptosis, proliferation, or terminal differentiation.
