Megakaryopoiesis is associated with in. ammatory reactions. To investigate the role of interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) in inflammation-associated megakaryopoiesis, mouse bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) were analyzed. IFN-gamma treatment induced IRF-2 expression as well as the expression of CD41 and IRF-1 in HSCs. An in vitro clonogenic assay showed that IRF-2- but not IRF-1-overexpressing cells increased the number of megakaryocytic colonies. IRF-2 transfection up-regulated CD41 promoter activity in hematopoietic cell lines. The number of CD41-positive bone marrow cells increased in mice injected with IRF-2-expressing bone marrow cells. These findings suggest that IRF-2 plays an important role in megakaryopoiesis in in. ammatory states. (C) 2009 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B. V.
