A pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein BIM (BCL-2 interacting mediator of cell death) can link cytokine receptor signaling with the apoptotic machinery in hematopoietic cells. We investigated here the role of BIM in erythropoietin (Epo)-mediated survival in erythroid cells. We down-regulated BIM in Epo-dependent HCD57 erythroid cells with shRNA, and used Real-time PCR, Western blots, and flow cytometry to characterize BIM expression and apoptosis. Hematologic analyses of BIM-deficient (Bim−/−) mice were conducted. BIM expression increases in primary murine erythroid cells and HCD57 cells deprived of Epo. Whereas Bim mRNA increased less than 2-fold, BIM protein increased more than 10-fold after Epo withdrawal, suggesting post-transcriptional regulation of BIM. Epo treatment resulted in rapid phosphorylation of BIM at Serine 65 and phosphorylation correlated with degradation of BIM. Inhibition of ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) by a MEK/ERK inhibitor, U0126, blocked both phosphorylation and degradation of BIM, resulting in apoptosis. Treatment with a proteasome inhibitor, MG-132, also blocked degradation of phosphorylated BIM. Down-regulation of BIM with the shRNA resulted in HCD57 cells more resistant to apoptosis induced by either Epo withdrawal or ERK inhibition. Although we observed no significant changes in the number of erythrocytes or reticulocytes in the circulation of Bim−/− mice, erythroid progenitors from bone marrow in Bim−/− mice were reduced in number and more resistant to apoptosis induced by U0126 MEK/ERK inhibitor. Epo protects erythroid cells from apoptosis in part through ERK-mediated phosphorylation followed by proteasomal degradation of BIM.
