SAMD1 alters erythroid progenitor gene transcription. (A) Heat map of SAM-containing protein mRNA transcript levels in FAC-sorted mouse bone marrow–derived hematopoietic cells. Transcript levels per gene normalized to maximum expression level in all hematopoietic cell types: LT-HSC, HSC, MPP, CLP, CMP, GMP, MF, Gn, mono, NK cells, MEP, and EryA and EryB. RNA-seq data from Lara-Astiaso et al.20 (B) Quantitation of SAM-containing protein mRNA transcript levels in FAC-sorted mouse bone marrow–derived MEPs. RNA-seq data from Lara-Astiaso et al.20 (C) Quantitation of Samd1 and Lsd1 mRNA transcript levels in FAC-sorted mouse bone marrow–derived hematopoietic cells. RNA-seq data from Lara-Astiaso et al.20 (D) Quantitation of SAMD1 and LSD1 protein copy number per cell. Relative protein levels measured by mass spectrometry from Gautier et al for human erythroid progenitors.27 Prog1: Band3−CD71medGPA−, Prog2: Band3−CD71highGPA−, ProE: Band3−CD71highGPAlow, Baso1: Band3lowCD71highGPAmed, Baso2: Band3medCD71highGPAhighCD49dhigh, Poly: Band3medCD71highGPAhighCD49dmed, and Ortho: Band3highCD71medGPAhigh. (E) Experimental layout of 17-day erythroid differentiation of CD34+ HSPCs. (F) T7 endonuclease assay of day 12 CD34+ progenitors Cas9 infected with scramble (sgControl) or SAMD1 knockout (sgSAMD1) sgRNAs. (G) Western blot of SAMD1 and β-actin in day-12 CD34+ progenitors. (H) Volcano plot of RNA-seq from sgSAMD1 vs sgControl erythroid progenitors. Cutoff: P < .01 and P < .5 log2 fold change (n = 4).
