Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Activin A has been shown to induce hemoglobin production in various hematopoietic cells. Such activities of three structurally distinct activins (activin A, activin AB, and activin B) were compared using F5-5 mouse erythroleukemia cells. Activin A and AB had similarly potent inducing activities whereas that of activin B was much lower. The erythroid inducing activity of activins was suppressed by follistatin, an activin-binding protein but not by inhibin A and inhibin B. Retinoic acids (both all-trans and 13-cis) had weak erythroid differentiation activity. In addition, clear synergistic erythroid induction occurred when retinoic acid and activin A were mixed together. These results indicate that retinoic acid may modulate activin-induced erythropoiesis in vivo.
