HIF-1α/m6A/NF-κB/CCL3 axis-mediated immunosurveillance participates in low level benzene-related erythrohematopoietic development toxicity
Defective erythropoiesis is one of the causes of anemia and leukemia. However, the mechanisms underlying defective erythropoiesis under a low-dose environment of benzene are poorly understood. In the present study, multiple omics (transcriptomics and metabolomics) and methods from epidemiology to experimental biology (e.g., benzene-induced (WT and HIF-1α + ) mouse, hiPSC-derived HSPCs) were used. Here, we showed that erythropoiesis is more easily impacted than other blood cells, and the process is reversible, which involves HIF-1 and NF-kB signaling pathways in low-level benzene exposure workers. Decreased HIF-1α expression in benzene-induced mouse bone marrow resulted in DNA damage, senescence, and apoptosis in BMCs and HSCs, causing disturbances in iron homeostasis and erythropoiesis. We further revealed that HIF-1α mediates CCL3/macrophage-related immunosurveillance against benzene-induced senescent and damaged cells and contributes to iron homeostasis. Mechanistically, we showed that m6A modification is essential in this process. Benzene-induced depletion of m6A promotes the mRNA stability of gene NFKBIA and regulates the NF-κB/CCL3 pathway, which is regulated by HIF-1α/METTL3/YTHDF2. Overall, our results identified an unidentified role for HIF-1α, m6A, and the NF-kB signaling machinery in erythroid progenitor cells, suggesting that HIF-1α/METTL3/YTHDF2-m6A/NF-κB/CCL3 axis may be a potential prevention and therapeutic target for chronic exposure of humans to benzene-associated anemia and leukemia.
