Abstract
Erythropoiesis is precisely regulated by multilayered networks. It is crucial for maintaining steady-state hemoglobin levels and ensuring effective oxygen transport. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism generating multiple mRNA isoforms from a single gene based on specific 3' untranslated region sequences. While APA plays a vital role in various cellular processes, the underlying mechanism in erythropoiesis remains largely unexplored. In this study, we employed an integrative approach, combining bioinformatics analyses and experimental validations, to systematically investigate the role of APA in erythropoiesis. We mapped the APA landscape during erythroid differentiation and identified significant APA shifts essential for the differentiation of erythroid cells from burst-forming unit erythroid (BFU-E) to colony-forming unit erythroid (CFU-E). Notably, our findings highlighted polyadenylate-binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1) as the primary regulator of APA during these stages. Functional analyses have revealed that knockdown of PABPC1 disrupts erythroid progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation. These results implicate an essential role of PABPC1 in modulating cell fate through APA regulation. Furthermore, we found that decreased PABPC1 levels increased the usage of the proximal polyadenylation sites in the TSC22 domain family member 1 (TSC22D1) gene. This shift led to elevated expression of TSC22D1, uncovering a novel mechanism by which APA influences erythroid progenitor expansion and differentiation. Our findings provide novel insights into APA regulation in early erythropoiesis and suggest potential therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with erythropoietic disorders.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
