Erythroid cells harbor a unique sensitivity to folate PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY deprivation, as revealed by the primary pathological manifestation of PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY nutritional folate deprivation: megaloblastic anemia. To study this metabolic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY sensitivity, we applied mild folate depletion to human and mouse erythroid cell PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY lines, and primary murine erythroid progenitors. We show that folate depletion PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY induces early blockade of purine synthesis and accumulation of the purine PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY synthesis intermediate and signaling molecule, AICAR, followed by enhanced heme PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY metabolism, hemoglobin synthesis, and erythroid differentiation. This is PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY phenocopied by inhibition of folate metabolism using the SHMT1/2 inhibitor - PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY SHIN1, and by AICAR supplementation. Mechanistically, the metabolically-driven PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY differentiation is independent of nucleotide sensing through mTORC1 and AMPK, PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY and is instead mediated by protein kinase C (PKC). Our findings suggest that PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY folate deprivation-induced premature differentiation of erythroid progenitor PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY cells is a molecular etiology to folate-deficiency induced anemia.

Samples were vortexed for 10 sec, then centrifuged SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY for 10 minutes at 18,000 g to pellet cell debris. The supernatant was divided SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY into two tubes and dried on ice using a liquid nitrogen dryer. One tube of dried SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY sample was used for folate metabolite detection. Folate samples were resuspended SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY in reconstitution buffer (0.5% ascorbic acid, 1% K2HPO4 and 0.5% SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY 2-mercaptoethanol) containing rat serum (Sigma, R9759). The rat serum contains SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY the enzymes required to strip the polyglutamate tail from the measured folate. SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY Rat endogenous folate was removed from the rat serum by activated carbon SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY treatment (Sigma, C9157). Polyglutamate tail removal was carried out for 2 h SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY at 37 °C. After the polyglutamate tail removal, the pH was adjusted to 4 SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY using formic acid and samples were loaded on Bond Elute-pH columns (Agilent, SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY 14102062) for a pH-based clean-up. Columns were eluted with 300 μl elution SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY buffer (50% methanol, 0.25% NH4OAc, 0.5% 2-mercaptoethanol), followed by drying SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY the samples using a liquid nitrogen dryer manifold and resuspension in 25 μl SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY water. #CHROMATOGRAPHY CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY 5 μl was injected onto a 2.6 μm, 150 x 3 mm C18 column (Phenomenex, CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY 00F-4462-Y0) equipped with a 3.0 mm safe-guard column (Phenomenex, AJ0-8775). CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY The column oven and autosampler tray were held at 30 °C and 4 °C, CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY respectively. The following conditions were used to achieve chromatographic CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY separation: buffer A was 0.1% formic acid; buffer B was acetonitrile with 0.1% CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY formic acid. The chromatographic gradient was run at a flow rate of 0.250 ml CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY min−1 as follows: 0–5 min: gradient was held at 5% B; 5–10 min: linear CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY gradient of 5% to 36% B; 10.1–14.0 min: linear gradient from 36–95% B; CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY 14.1–18.0 min: gradient was returned to 5% B.
