Sumario: | Mitochondrial ATP production plays an important role in most cellular activities, including growth and differentiation. Previously we reported that Adenylate kinase 2 (AK2) is the main ADP supplier in the mitochondrial intermembrane space in hematopoietic cells, especially in the bone marrow. AK2 is crucial for the production of neutrophils and T cells, and its deficiency causes reticular dysgenesis. However, the relationship between ADP supply by AK2 and neutrophil differentiation remains unclear. In this study, we used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to establish two heterozygous AK2 knock-out HL-60 clones as models for reticular dysgenesis. Their AK2 activities were about half that in the wild-type (WT). Furthermore, neutrophil differentiation was impaired in one of the clones. In silico analysis predicted that the obtained mutations might cause a structural change in AK2. Time course microarray analysis of the WT and mutants revealed that similar gene clusters responded to all-trans retinoic acid treatment, but their expression was lower in the mutants than in WT. Application of fructose partially restored neutrophil differentiation in the heterozygous knock-out HL-60 clone after all-trans retinoic acid treatment. Collectively, our study suggests that the mutation of N-terminal region in AK2 might play a role in AK2-dependent neutrophil differentiation and fructose could be used to treat AK2 deficiency. |
