Article Title: Epo-IGF1R cross talk expands stress-specific progenitors in regenerative erythropoiesis and myeloproliferative neoplasm
Abstract: We found that in regenerative erythropoiesis, the erythroid progenitor landscape is reshaped, and a previously undescribed progenitor population with colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E) activity (stress CFU-E [sCFU-E]) is expanded markedly to restore the erythron. sCFU-E cells are targets of erythropoietin (Epo), and sCFU-E expansion requires signaling from the Epo receptor (EpoR) cytoplasmic tyrosines. Molecularly, Epo promotes sCFU-E expansion via JAK2- and STAT5-dependent expression of IRS2, thus engaging the progrowth signaling from the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R). Inhibition of IGF1R and IRS2 signaling impairs sCFU-E cell growth, whereas exogenous IRS2 expression rescues cell growth in sCFU-E expressing truncated EpoR-lacking cytoplasmic tyrosines. This sCFU-E pathway is the major pathway involved in erythrocytosis driven by the oncogenic JAK2 mutant JAK2(V617F) in myeloproliferative neoplasm. Inability to expand sCFU-E cells by truncated EpoR protects against JAK2(V617F)-driven erythrocytosis. In samples from patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm, the number of sCFU-E-like cells increases, and inhibition of IGR1R and IRS2 signaling blocks Epo-hypersensitive erythroid cell colony formation. In summary, we identified a new stress-specific erythroid progenitor cell population that links regenerative erythropoiesis to pathogenic erythrocytosis. © 2022 The American Society of Hematology
