ASXL1 mutations are found in a spectrum of myeloid malignancies with poor
prognosis. Recently, we reported that Asxl1(+/-) mice develop myelodysplastic
syndrome (MDS) or MDS and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) overlapping diseases
(MDS/MPN). Although defective erythroid maturation and anemia are associated with
the prognosis of patients with MDS or MDS/MPN, the role of ASXL1 in
erythropoiesis remains unclear. Here, we showed that chronic myelomonocytic
leukemia (CMML) patients with ASXL1 mutations exhibited more severe anemia with a
significantly increased proportion of bone marrow (BM) early stage erythroblasts
and reduced enucleated erythrocytes compared to CMML patients with WT ASXL1.
Knockdown of ASXL1 in cord blood CD34(+) cells reduced erythropoiesis and
impaired erythrocyte enucleation. Consistently, the BM and spleens of
VavCre(+);Asxl1(f/f) (Asxl1(?/?)) mice had less numbers of erythroid progenitors
than Asxl1(f/f) controls. Asxl1(?/?) mice also had an increased percentage of
erythroblasts and a reduced erythrocyte enucleation in their BM compared to
littermate controls. Furthermore, Asxl1(?/?) erythroblasts revealed altered
expression of genes involved in erythroid development and homeostasis, which was
associated with lower levels of H3K27me3 and H3K4me3. Our study unveils a key
role for ASXL1 in erythropoiesis and indicates that ASXL1 loss hinders erythroid
development/maturation, which could be of prognostic value for MDS/MPN patients.
