摘要


OBJECTIVES:Molecular mechanisms controlling cell fate decision making in self-renewing cells are poorly understood. A previous transcriptomic study, carried out in primary avian erythroid progenitor cells (T2ECs), revealed that the gene encoding oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC/LSS), an enzyme involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, is significantly up-regulated in self-renewing cells. The aim of the present work is to understand whether this up-regulation is required for self-renewal maintenance and what are the mechanisms involved. MATERIALS AND METHODS:To investigate OSC function, we studied effects of its enzymatic activity inhibition using Ro48-8071, a specific OSC inhibitor. In addition, we completed this pharmacological approach by OSC/LSS knockdown. The study of OSC inhibition was carried out on both self-renewing and differentiating cells to observe any state-dependent effect. RESULTS:  Our data show that OSC acts both by protecting self-renewing T2EC cells from apoptosis and by blocking their differentiation program, as OSC inhibition is sufficient to trigger spontaneous commitment of self-renewing cells towards an early differentiation state. This is self-renewal specific, as OSC inhibition has no effect on erythroid progenitors that have already differentiated. CONCLUSIONS:Taken together, our results suggest that OSC/LSS expression and activity are required to maintain cell self-renewal and may be involved in the self-renewal versus differentiation/apoptosis decision making, by keeping cells in a self-renewal state.
