Analysis of self-renewing and differentiation-related microRNAs and transcription factors in multilineage mouse hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells induced by 1,4-benzoquinone

HSPCs are targets for benzene-induced hematotoxicity and leukemogenesis. However, benzene toxicity targeting microRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors (TF) that are involve in regulating self-renewing and differentiation of HSPCs comprising of different hematopoietic lineages remains poorly under...

Description
Summary:HSPCs are targets for benzene-induced hematotoxicity and leukemogenesis. However, benzene toxicity targeting microRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors (TF) that are involve in regulating self-renewing and differentiation of HSPCs comprising of different hematopoietic lineages remains poorly understood. In this study, the effect of a benzene metabolite, 1,4-benzoquinone (1,4-BQ) exposure, in HSPCs focusing on the self-renewing (miRNAs: miR-196b and miR-29a; TF: HoxB4, Bmi-1) and differentiation (miRNAs: miR-181a, TF: GATA3) pathways were investigated. Freshly isolated mouse BM cells were initially exposed to 1,4-BQ at 1.25 to 5 µM for 24 h, followed by miRNAs and TF studies in BM cells. Then, the miRNAs expression was further evaluated in HSPCs of different lineages comprised of myeloid, erythroid and pre-B lymphoid progenitors following 7-14 days of colony forming unit (CFU) assay. Exposure to 1,4-BQ in BM cells significantly (
