Abstract
A hitherto undescribed form of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia is reported. The patient was severely anaemic and hydropic at birth and is now 8 years old. She has a moderate normochromic normocytic anaemia. HbF level of 50%, reticulocyte count of 5-12% and hyperbilirubinaemia. Bone marrow smears showed intense normoblastic erythroid hyperplasia with morphological evidence of dyserythropoiesis; the most common dysplastic features were basophilic stippling of polychromatic erythroblasts and erythrocytes and marked abnormalities of nuclear shape in polychromatic erythroblasts. Electron microscope studies showed that some polychromatic erythroblasts and several erythrocytes contained inclusions which were rounded, elongated or irregular in outline or were doughnut-shaped. These inclusions consisted of compact masses of tubules and saccules which may represent smooth endoplastic reticulum together with Golgi cisternae. The ultrastructural studies also revealed peculiar membrane-bound cylindrical structures in a rare late erythroblast, and phagocytosed erythroblasts within some macrophages. The technique of combined Feulgen microspectrophotometry and 3H-thymidine autoradiography demonstrated a pile-up of early polychromatic erythroblasts in the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle, indicating a prolongation of, or an arrest at, these phases. Furthermore, nearly a quarter of all erythroblasts failed to incorporate 3H-leucine into protein. Thus the anaemia appeared to be due to a combination of disordered erythroblast function, increased ineffectiveness of erythropoiesis and peripheral haemolysis. The primary defect may be an excessive synthesis or impaired degradation of intracytoplasmic membranes.

Abstract
A unique cytoplasmic connection between erythroblasts was studied by electron microscopy in mouse hemopoietic tissues (fetal liver, fetal and neonatal spleen and adult bone marrow). Many pairs of interphase erythroblasts were connected by a "cytoplasmic bridge" that was very thin and sometimes long in comparison with telophase bridges. The stage of maturation of the cells in a pair was similar. Small numbers of microtubules ran along the cytoplasmic bridge; a mid-body was not seen. The plasma membrane at approximately the middle of the bridge bulged to form a ring-shaped ridge filled with dense amorphous substances; this was called a "bulging ring." Thus, the cytoplasmic bridge between erythroblasts did not morphologically correspond to the telophase bridge in the usual cytokinesis. Cytoplasmic bridges were observed in various differentiating stages of erythroblasts, whereas other cell types of the hemopoietic lineage did not have such a bridge. The cytoplasmic bridge is unique to erythroblasts and provides an evidence for the atypical cytokinesis of the erythroblastic lineage.

Abstract
A child is described who suffered from a severe congenital anemia. The anemia persisted and a regular transfusional regimen became necessary. Bone marrow aspirates showed an erythroblastic hyperplasia associated with some dyserythropoietic features. A most striking and constant finding was the presence of many inter-erythroblastic chromatin bridges. The reticulocyte count was always low, in spite of the increased erythropoietic activity. A beta-thalassemia trait inherited from the mother was demonstrated. The hypothesis of dyserythropoiesis/thalassemia syndrome was put forward, based on the assumption that the two genes may have interacted with each other.

Abstract
The etiology of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) type II is unknown. The diagnosis is based on morphologic and immunologic criteria. We present three girls with well documented CDA II who were followed for 5-8 years. The anemia was mild, progressive body iron overload was found. In none of the girls splenectomy was indicated. Morphologic features of ++erythrocytes and bone marrow erythroid cells were studied by means of light and electron microscopy. Up to 45% of erythrocytes showed invaginations with endocytic cisterns and shape abnormalities (echinocytes, anisocytosis, microcytosis). Typical abnormalities of the external surface of RBC membrane: invaginations, depressions, pits and plaques were shown in the scanning electron microscopic studies. Our studies indicate that the morphological features of erythrocyte in our patients may be consequence of the biochemical changes in the membranes and may contribute to the shortened life span of erythrocytes in patients with CDA II.

Abstract
We examined erythropoietin receptor expression in two murine cell lines, B6SUtA and DA-1, that respond to erythropoietin in different ways. While B6SUtA cells undergo erythroid differentiation with limited proliferation after addition of erythropoietin, DA-1 cells show only a proliferative response. Equilibrium binding experiments with 125I-erythropoietin revealed that both B6SUtA and DA-1 cells express a single class of erythropoietin receptors. In the absence of erythropoietin, B6SUtA cells exhibited 145 receptors per cell with a dissociation constant (kd) of 380 pmol/L. Six days after induction with erythropoietin, the B6SUtA cells displayed 310 receptors per cell without a change in binding affinity; exposure to erythropoietin also increased cellular hemoglobin content. DA-1 cells adapted to erythropoietin-dependent growth over a period of months and exhibited a progressive increase in erythropoietin receptor expression, from 85 per cell (kd = 540) to 550 per cell (kd = 530), although the cells remained uniformly benzidine-negative. We interpret the data with B6SUtA cells to indicate that early erythroid differentiation stages are attended by an increase in erythropoietin receptor display, coordinate with the initiation of expression of erythroid-specific genes. In contrast, the results with DA-1 cells are most compatible with clonal selection as the mechanism underlying enhanced receptor expression. Thus, display of the erythropoietin receptor is dynamic and can be modulated during the course of erythropoietin-induced differentiation.

Abstract
We have used murine splenic erythrolasts infected with the anemia-inducing strain of Friend virus (FVA cells), as an in vitro model to study cytoskeletal elements during erythroid maturation and enucleation. FVA cells are capable of enucleating in suspension culture in vitro, indicating that associations with an extracellular matrix or accessory cells are not required for enucleation to occur. The morphology of FVA cells undergoing enucleation is nearly identical to erythroblasts enucleating in vivo. The nucleus is segregated to one side of the cell and then appears to be pinched off resulting in an extruded nucleus and reticulocyte. The extruded nucleus is surrounded by an intact plasma membrane and has little cytoplasm associated with it. Newly formed reticulocytes have an irregular shape, are vacuolated and contain all cytoplasmic organelles. The spatial distribution of several cytoskeletal proteins was examined during the maturation process. Spectrin was found associated with the plasma membrane of FVA cells at all stages of maturation but was segregated entirely to the incipient reticulocyte during enucleation. Microtubules formed cages around nuclei in immature FVA cells and were found primarily in the incipient reticulocyte in cells undergoing enucleation. Reticulocytes occasionally contained microtubules, but a generalized diffuse distribution of tubulin was more common. Vimentin could not be detected at any time in FVA cell maturation. Filamentous actin (F-actin) had a patchy distribution at the cell surface in the most immature erythroblasts, but F-actin bundles could be detected as the cells matured. F-actin was found concentrated between the extruding nucleus and incipient reticulocyte in enucleating erythroblasts. Newly formed reticulocytes exhibited punctate actin fluorescence whereas extruded nuclei lacked F-actin. Addition of colchicine, vinblastine, or taxol to cultures of FVA cells did not affect enucleation. In contrast, cytochalasin D caused a complete inhibition of enucleation that could be reversed by washing out the cytochalasin D. These results demonstrate that F-actin plays a role in enucleation while the complete absence of microtubules or excessive numbers of polymerized microtubules do not affect enucleation.

Abstract
The haemopoiesis of Sparus auratus is formed by the following series: erythro-thrombopoietic, granulopoietic, lymphoplasmapoietic and monocytes. All the cells which form these series originate from one cell called the stem-cell, there being a network of reticular cells and melanomacrophage centres amongst these cells. The erythropoietic series comprises erythroblast, proerythrocytes, polychromatocytes, reticulocytes and erythrocytes. The morphological changes which occur during the maturing process are: heterochromatinization of the nuclei, the gradual decrease of organelles in the cytoplasm and the increase of the haemoglobin. We also observed thrombocytes characterized by the presence of numerous vacuoles and abundant glycogen in the cytoplasm. In the lymphoplasmapoietic series are seen lymphoblasts, lymphocytes and plasma cells. The lymphocytes are cells of different sizes with small microvilli in the cell surface and scanty cytoplasm. Outstanding in the plasma cell is the well developed granular endoplasmic reticulum. The monocytes are large cells with an indented nucleus and cytoplasm containing numerous vesicles of different sizes and also a few lysosomes.

Abstract
We have detected trans-acting factors that regulate developmental hemoglobin switching by fusing erythroid cells of different developmental programs. Adult erythroid cells of one anuran species, Xenopus laevis, were fused with tadpole erythroid cells of another frog, Rana catesbeiana. In a second set of experiments, dimethyl sulfoxide-induced murine erythroleukemia cells, which express only adult mouse globins, were fused with Rana tadpole erythroid cells, which express only embryonic and fetal-like globins. Adult Rana globin gene expression was detected in both sets of transient heterokaryons at 6 hr after fusion. Dot blots and Northern blots of total RNA from the heterokaryons contained material that reacted with an adult Rana alpha-globin probe; newly synthesized adult Rana hemoglobin tetramers were detected with native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These results show that developmental stage-specific transacting factors for globin genes can function across vertebrate classes (mammalia to amphibia) and suggest that the mechanisms that regulate developmental hemoglobin switching are highly conserved.

Abstract
Electron microscopy revealed several unique features in canine bone marrow, compared with that of other species. The marrow was fatty and extensively trabeculated and was enclosed by a complete layer of endosteal bone-lining cells. Branched reticular cells were closely associated with each other and, occasionally, covered part of the sinus wall as an adventitial layer. The extent of adventitial coverage varied markedly and was less extensive, compared with that of other species. On average, only 23% of the sinus wall was covered by adventitial layer, in contrast to 65% reported in laboratory animals. Unilaminar sinuses, with no adventitial coverage, accounted for greater than 38% of all sinuses. Quantitative analysis indicated that 60% of the latter sinuses contained apertures, as opposed to 35% of sinuses with adventitial coverage (P less than 0.05). Moreover, the number of apertures in unilaminar sinuses was significantly (P less than 0.009) greater than that in multilaminar sinuses. Apertures were observed every 59 microns in unilaminar sinuses, in contrast to every 109 microns in multilaminar sinuses. Approximately 75% of the apertures were occupied by cells in transit, and only 25% were free of cells. Macrophages were distributed throughout the marrow and were closely associated with all blood cell lines. Occasionally, cells that entered the lumen were not fully mature. Erythroblasts were seen migrating across the wall and within the lumen of sinuses. The less-extensive adventitial coverage in canine bone marrow might indicate that the rate of cell delivery from the marrow into the circulation was relatively high in this species.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A method is described for the measurement of DNA index and cell cycle distribution in purified erythroid and myeloid populations from human bone marrow. Erythroid cells were prepared after complement mediated lysis of non-erythroid marrow cells. Myeloid cells were obtained by fluorescence activated cell sorting by forward and wide angle light scatter. Mononuclear marrow cells were prepared with a density gradient. Nuclei prepared from the separated populations were stained with propidium iodide. Myeloid cells had a higher DNA index than erythroid cells, and the mononuclear preparation had an intermediate value. There were more erythroid than myeloid cells in the S and G2M phases of the cell cycle. These lineage differences are particularly relevant when considering data derived from unseparated bone marrow cells, and further experiments are needed to determine the origin of these anomalies.

Abstract
Immature murine erythroblasts infected with the anemia-inducing strain of Friend virus (FVA cells) differentiate in vitro under the influence of erythropoietin (EP). These cells were used as a model for the examination of morphological changes occurring during terminal erythroid differentiation. FVA cells differentiate more completely in vitro in response to EP than continuous erythroleukemia cell lines do in response to chemical induction. Because they can be isolated in much greater numbers and in much higher purity than bone marrow or spleen cells explanted from anemic mice, FVA cells are an attractive alternative for studies of mammalian terminal erythroid differentiation. FVA cells cultured with EP followed a sequence of differentiation events that included a progressive decrease in cell size, disappearance of nucleoli, condensation of nuclei, and accumulation of hemoglobin. After 45 h of culture most FVA cells enucleated, giving rise to vacuolated reticulocytes and free nuclei that were surrounded by a thin layer of cytoplasm and a plasma membrane. The ratio of nuclear to cytoplasmic volumes increased significantly by 24 h of culture but did not change significantly from 24 through 36 h of culture. Variation in the morphology of enucleating FVA cells indicated that not all cells proceeded through a rigorously defined series of morphological stages prior to enucleation. These results are discussed in terms of previous studies of erythroblast maturation.

Abstract
Bone marrow aspirates from four children with kwashiorkor and three with marasmus were studied using the techniques of electron microscopy and combined Feulgen microspectrophotometry and 3H-thymidine autoradiography. The majority of the erythroblasts were ultrastructurally normal, the distribution of the early polychromatic erythroblasts between the various stages of the cell cycle was normal or almost normal, and the macrophages did not contain ingested erythroblasts. Since erythropoietin production has been shown to be normal in protein-energy malnutrition, these findings suggest that at least in some cases of PEM the impairment of erythropoiesis results primarily from an abnormality in the erythroid progenitor cell pool rather than from dyserythropoiesis and ineffective erythropoiesis. In one afebrile and apparently uninfected patient with marasmus, a substantial proportion of the neutrophil granulocytes and their more mature precursors contained electron-dense, myelin-containing intracytoplasmic structures which were presumed to be abnormal primary granules. In four of the patients, the 3H-thymidine labelling index of the neutrophil promyelocyte-myelocyte pool was increased. In addition, in all of the cases, neutrophils at various stages of degradation were readily found within the cytoplasm of some of the macrophages. Thus, whereas the techniques employed did not reveal a major disturbance in the morphologically recognizable precursor cells of the erythroid series in PEM, they demonstrated some abnormalities in such cells of the neutrophil series.

Abstract
During mammalian development the fetal liver plays an important role in hematopoiesis. Studies with the macrophage (M phi)-specific mAb F4/80 have revealed an extensive network of M phi plasma membranes interspersed between developing erythroid cells in fetal liver. To investigate the interactions between erythroid cells and stromal M phi, we isolated hematopoietic cell clusters from embryonic day-14 murine fetal liver by collagenase digestion and adherence. Clusters of erythroid cells adhered to glass mainly via M phi, 94% of which bound 19 +/- 11 erythroblasts (Eb) per cell. Bound Eb proliferated vigorously on the surface of fetal liver M phi, with little evidence of ingestion. The M phi could be stripped of their associated Eb and the clusters then reconstituted by incubation with Eb in the presence of divalent cations. The interaction required less Ca++ than Mg++, 100 vs. 250 microM for half-maximal binding, and was mediated by a trypsin-sensitive hemagglutinin on the M phi surface. After trypsin treatment fetal liver M phi recovered the ability to bind Eb and this process could be selectively inhibited by cycloheximide. Inhibition tests showed that the Eb receptor differs from known M phi plasma membrane receptors and fetal liver M phi did not bind sheep erythrocytes, a ligand for a distinct M phi hemagglutinin. We propose that fetal liver M phi interact with developing erythroid cells by a novel nonphagocytic surface hemagglutinin which is specific for a ligand found on Eb and not on mature red cells.

Abstract
A novel procedure for isolation of nuclear matrices from chicken erythroblast cells was elaborated. The influence of variations in the isolation procedure on structural integrity and morphology of nuclear matrices as well as on properties of the nuclear matrix-associated DNA fractions was investigated. The incubation of isolated nuclei in the presence of Cu2+ ions provided significant stabilization of the nuclear matrix. Copper treatment of nuclei did not affect the properties of the nuclear skeleton-associated DNA fraction. In both copper-stabilized as well as unstabilized nuclei, nuclear matrix-attached DNA was digested to the same extent with nucleolytic enzymes, and could be totally removed from nuclear matrices by 2 M NaCl-2 M urea treatment. The fine morphology of the nuclear matrix did not change after extraction of nuclear skeleton-associated DNA fragments. In the presence or absence of copper ions, matrix DNA was found to be qualitatively different compared with total DNA, in particular with respect to the representation of specific repetitive sequences of the chicken beta globin gene domain.

Abstract
Membrane and membrane skeleton proteins were examined in erythroid progenitor cells during terminal differentiation. The employed model system of erythroid differentiation was that in which proerythroblasts from mice infected with the anemia-inducing strain of Friend virus differentiate in vitro in response to erythropoietin (EP). With this system, developmentally homogeneous populations of cells can be examined morphologically and biochemically as they progress from proerythroblasts through enucleated reticulocytes. alpha and beta spectrins, the major proteins of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton, are synthesized in the erythroblasts both before and after EP exposure. At all times large portions of the newly synthesized spectrins exist in and are turned over in the cytoplasm. The remaining newly synthesized spectrin is found in a cellular fraction containing total membranes. Pulse-chase experiments show that little of the cytoplasmic spectrins become membrane associated, but that the proportion of newly synthesized spectrin which is membrane associated increases as maturation proceeds. A membrane fraction enriched in plasma membranes has significant differences in the stoichiometry of spectrin accumulation as compared to total cellular membranes. Synthesis of band 3 protein, the anion transporter, is induced only after EP addition to the erythroblasts. All of the newly synthesized band 3 is membrane associated. A two-dimensional gel survey was conducted of newly synthesized proteins in the plasma membrane enriched fraction of the erythroblasts as differentiation proceeded. A majority of the newly synthesized proteins remain in the same proportion to each other during maturation; however, a few newly synthesized proteins greatly increase following EP induction while others decrease markedly. Of the radiolabeled proteins observed in two dimensional gels, only the spectrins, band 3 and actin become major proteins of the mature erythrocyte membrane. Examination of total proteins of the plasma membrane enriched fractions of EP-treated erythroblasts using silver staining and 32P autoradiography show that many proteins and phosphoproteins are selectively eliminated from this fraction late in the course of differentiation during the reticulocyte stage. The selective removal of many proteins at the reticulocyte stage of development combined with previous selective synthesis and accumulation of some specific proteins such as alpha and beta spectrin and band 3 in the differentiating erythroblasts lead to the final mammalian erythrocyte membrane structure.

Abstract
147 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes were investigated for the presence of micronuclei and nuclear budding in bone marrow erythroblasts. The patients were divided into subgroups on the basis of bone marrow karyotype, 31 healthy bone marrow donors constituted a control group. Patients with monosomy 7 or 7q- and patients with major karyotypic abnormalities (MAKA) had significantly more erythroblasts with micronuclei and nuclear budding than the control group. Patients with a 5q- chromosome as the sole karyotypic aberration had more micronuclei than the controls. For other patients with MDS the differences were statistically nonsignificant.

Abstract
A dyserythropoietic syndrome with coincidental immune thrombocytopenia seen during pregnancy is discussed. The morphological and serological results in this case most resemble type II congenital dyserythropoietic anemia. However, functional evidence of dyserythropoiesis was absent and the patient was not anemic. Splenectomy was performed for the resistant thrombocytopenia and microscopic examination of the spleen showed evidence of extramedullary dyserythropoiesis. The significance of these findings is discussed with regard to the spectrum of recognized dyserythropoietic disorders and the unusual discrepancy between the abnormal morphology and the absence of functional dyserythropoiesis.

Abstract
To clarify the role of transferrin receptors in cases of altered iron metabolism in clinical pathological conditions, we studied: number of binding sites; affinity; and recycling kinetics of transferrin receptors on human erythroblasts. Since transferrin receptors are mainly present on erythroblasts, the number of surface transferrin receptors was determined by assay of binding of 125I-transferrin and the percentage of erythroblasts in bone marrow mononuclear cells. The number of binding sites on erythroblasts from patients with an iron deficiency anemia was significantly greater than in normal subjects (p less than 0.01). Among those with an aplastic anemia, hemolytic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and polycythemia vera compared to normal subjects, there were no considerable differences in the numbers of binding sites. The dissociation constants (Kd) were measured using Scatchard analysis. The apparent Kd was unchanged (about 10 nmol/L) in patients and normal subjects. The kinetics of endocytosis and exocytosis of 125I-transferrin, examined by acid treatment, revealed no variations in recycling kinetics among the patients and normal subjects. These data suggest that iron uptake is regulated by modulation of the number of surface transferrin receptors, thereby reflecting the iron demand of the erythroblast.
