In
the second half of avian embryonic development cAMP affects major
aspects of red blood cell (RBC) function. At day 13/14, progressive developmental hypoxia causes the release of norepinephrine and erythroid
-adrenergic receptor stimulation initiates the coordinate induction of adaptive key events of erythroid
differentiation like carbonic anhydrase (CAII) and
2,3-biphosphoglycerate synthesis. Although cAMP-dependent
regulation of CAII protein synthesis has been described in detail, no
data exist about the transcriptional regulation in embryonic RBC. Here
we report that after day 12 of embryonic development, the
caII mRNA is accumulating. Hypoxic incubation at day
10 as well as in vitro incubation of isolated RBC with
cAMP-elevating agonists strongly induces erythroid caII expression. The induction of caII occurs fast and does not
require new protein synthesis. By screening several late erythroid
genes, we could identify hsp70 as another cAMP-induced gene
in definitive RBC. Because caII (but not hsp70)
is also induced by cAMP in primitive RBC, the signal may regulate key
events of late primitive and definitive erythropoiesis.
