We studied the relationship between heme accumulation and globin synthesis in human erythroid precursors which were stimulated by 2 I.U. of erythropoietin in semi-solid cultures (1% methyl-cellulose, 20% fetal calf serum) and treated with 6-9 micrograms/ml of desferrioxamina (DF), a potent inhibitor of heme synthesis (6). Heme accumulation was detected by specific reaction with benzidine (4), globin synthesis by CM-cellulose column chromatography. Our results demonstrate that globin gene expression occurs in DF-treated erythroid cells which do not accumulate heme molecules. As heme does affect translation and stability of globin mRNA (10) our system might be suitable for studies focused on pathological alterations of erythropoiesis associated with the presence of unstable globin mRNAs and/or unstable globins.
