Research Abstract

Using mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation induction system, we investigated the role of GATA-1, required for terminal erythroid differentiation, on establishments of erythroid-specific epigenetic pattern. We found that GATA-1 would establish the erythroid-specific epigenetic pattern during cell fate determination from multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cells into erythroid lienage.
