Chromatin remodeling protein Smarca5 participates on many cellular processes, which are important for tissue development and tumorigenesis. Among these processes utilizing ATPase activity of Smarca5 belong also transcription, replication and DNA repair. We hypothesized that Smarca5 represents essential molecule for chromatin modulation primarily at early developmental stages at the level of fast-dividing progenitors of many origins, in whose the ATPase is highly expressed. To such tissues may belong also hematopoiesis, in which the Smarca5 has highest expression. The subject of my doctoral thesis is therefore analysis of the effect Smarca5 depletion on proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors in vivo and a search for mechanisms behind the resulted developmental defects. We utilized conditionally knockout allele of Smarca5 in blood precursors to study in a mouse model how depletion of the ISWI ATPase causes accumulation of earliest progenitors inhibited from further maturation to erythroid and other myeloid lines. The proerythroblasts became dysplastic and the majority of basophilic erythroblasts ceased cycling around the G2/M stage. An expected mechanism for observed changes appeared the activation of stress pathway of protein p53 that is often associated with unrepaired DNA...
