Iron-restricted human anemias are associated with the acquisition of marrow resistance to the hematopoietic cytokine erythropoietin (Epo). Regulation of Epo responsiveness by iron availability serves as the basis for intravenous iron therapy in anemias of chronic disease. Epo engagement of its receptor normally promotes survival, proliferation, and differentiation of erythroid progenitors. However, Epo resistance caused by iron restriction selectively impairs proliferation and differentiation while preserving viability. Our results reveal that iron restriction limits surface display of Epo receptor in primary progenitors and that mice with enforced surface retention of the receptor fail to develop anemia with iron deprivation. A mechanistic pathway is identified in which erythroid iron restriction down-regulates a receptor control element, Scribble, through the mediation of the iron-sensing transferrin receptor 2. Scribble deficiency reduces surface expression of Epo receptor but selectively retains survival signaling via Akt. This mechanism integrates nutrient sensing with receptor function to permit modulation of progenitor expansion without compromising survival.
