Cellular differentiation requires vast remodeling of transcriptomes, and therefore machinery mediating remodeling controls differentiation. Relative to transcriptional mechanisms governing differentiation, post-transcriptional processes are less well understood. As an important post-transcriptional determinant of transcriptomes, the RNA exosome complex (EC) mediates processing and/or degradation of select RNAs. During erythropoiesis, the erythroid transcription factor GATA1 represses EC subunit genes. Depleting EC structural subunits prior to GATA1-mediated repression is deleterious to erythroid progenitor cells. To assess the importance of the EC catalytic subunits Dis3 and Exosc10 in this dynamic process, we asked if these subunits function non-redundantly to control erythropoiesis. Dis3 or Exosc10 depletion in primary murine hematopoietic progenitor cells reduced erythroid progenitors and their progeny, while sparing myeloid cells. Dis3 loss severely compromised erythroid progenitor and erythroblast survival, rendered erythroblasts hypersensitive to apoptosis-inducing stimuli and induced γ-H2AX, indicative of DNA double-stranded breaks. Dis3 loss-of-function phenotypes were more severe than those caused by Exosc10 depletion. We innovated a genetic rescue system to compare human Dis3 with multiple myeloma-associated Dis3 mutants S447R and R750K, and only wild type Dis3 was competent to rescue progenitors. Thus, Dis3 establishes a disease mutation-sensitive, cell type-specific survival mechanism to enable a differentiation program.
