A novel role for Lyl1 in primitive erythropoiesis.

Development 2018 September 6
Stem Cell Leukemia ( Scl or Tal1 ) and Lymphoblastic Leukemia 1 ( Lyl1 ) are highly related members of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of transcription factors that are co- expressed in the erythroid lineage. Previous studies suggest that Scl is essential for primitive erythropoiesis. However, analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing data of early embryos showed that primitive erythroid cells express both Scl and Lyl1 Therefore, to determine whether Lyl1 can function in primitive erythropoiesis, we crossed conditional Scl knockout mice with mice expressing a Cre recombinase under the control of the Epo receptor, active in erythroid progenitors. Embryos with 20% expression of Scl from E9.5 survived to adulthood. However, mice with reduced expression of Scl and absence of Lyl1 (double knockout; DKO ) died at E10.5 due to progressive loss of erythropoiesis. Gene expression profiling of DKO yolk sacs revealed loss of Gata1 and many of the known target genes of the SCL-GATA1 complex. ChIP-seq analyses showed that LYL1 exclusively bound a small subset of SCL targets including GATA1 Together, these data show for the first time that Lyl1 can maintain primitive erythropoiesis.
