AIC2A and AIC2B are closely related genes encoding components of the
receptors for murine interleukin-3 (IL-3) (AIC2A) and granulocyte-
macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-5 (AIC2B). We have
studied the parallel regulation of expression of these genes in erythroid
and myeloid progenitor cell lines. AIC2A and AIC2B transcription was
transiently induced in these cells in response to a variety of
hematopoietic growth factors, including erythropoietin (EPO), monocyte-CSF,
IL-3, GM-CSF, and stem cell factor (SCF or kit ligand). Run-on assays
established that the increase occurred mainly at the transcriptional level.
Immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed that the increase in messenger
RNA expression resulted in augmented synthesis of both AIC2A and AIC2B
proteins, and binding studies further showed these proteins to be
functional. We observed a fourfold increase in low-affinity IL-3 sites in
an erythroid precursor cell line stimulated with EPO, and a threefold
increase in GM-CSF high-affinity sites in a myeloid cell line stimulated
with IL-3. In addition, we showed that the increase in the IL-3 receptor
chain AIC2A in the erythroid precursor cell line correlated with the
ability of IL-3 to exert a cooperative effect with EPO in the induction of
beta-globin in these cells.
