Abstract
Abstract: E1569

Type: Eposter Presentation

Background
The straight and branched repeats of poly-LacNAc chains characterize the histo-blood group i and I antigens, respectively.  In the human hematopoietic cell model, the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein a (C/EBPa) regulates branched I antigen formation through IGnTC expression in both erythroid- and granulocytic-differentiation.  However, the detail mechanisms for the regulation on the I synthesis along these different lineages remain unclear.

Aims
To investigate the regulatory mechanisms for branched I antigen formation during the erythroid- and granulocytic-differentiation.

Methods
The sodium butyrate (SB)- and retinoic acid (RA)-induced differentiated K-562 cells were served as the erythroid- and granulocytic-differentiation model, respectively.  The wild type and mutant form of ERK2 and SHP-2-overexpressing K-562 cells were used to study the involvement of MAP kinase-mediated pathways and upstream signaling molecule in the I antigen formation.  CHIP analysis was used to compare the binding affinity of C/EBPa to IGnTC promoter.

Results
The ERK2-mediated signaling specifically regulated the synthesis of I antigens during the erythroid-differentiation, but not for granulocytic-differentiation.  SHP-2 acted as upstream regulator of ERK2 to control the phosphorylation status of Ser21 on C/EBPa, which affect the binding affinity to IGnTC regulatory region, and to govern the I antigen formation.

Conclusion
In this K-562 cell model when induced by SB, the SHP-2-ERK2 signaling is specific for the branched poly-LacNAc formation during erythroid-differentiation.
