The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

It can also be caused by infections or other diseases, therapeutic drugs, lead poisoning, and other conditions. (Stedman, 25th ed; from Miale, Laboratory Medicine: Hematology, 6th ed, p393)
RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

Human, rat, and mouse kidney cells express functional erythropoietin receptors. (1/3892)

BACKGROUND: Erythropoietin (EPO), secreted by fibroblast-like cells in the renal interstitium, controls erythropoiesis by regulating the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells. We examined whether renal cells that are exposed to EPO express EPO receptors (EPO-R) through which analogous cytokine responses might be elicited. METHODS: Normal human and rat kidney tissue and defined cell lines of human, rat, and mouse kidney were screened, using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, nucleotide sequencing, ligand binding, and Western blotting, for the expression of EPO-R. EPO's effects on DNA synthesis and cell proliferation were also examined. RESULTS: EPO-R transcripts were readily detected in cortex, medulla, and papilla of human and rat kidney, in mesangial (human, rat), proximal tubular (human, mouse), and medullary collecting duct cells (human). Nucleotide sequences of EPO-R cDNAs from renal cells were identical to those of erythroid precursor cells. Specific 125I-EPO binding revealed a single class of high- to intermediate-affinity EPO-Rs in each tested cell line (kD 96 pm to 1. 4 nm; Bmax 0.3 to 7.0 fmol/mg protein). Western blots of murine proximal tubular cell membranes revealed an EPO-R protein of approximately 68 kDa. EPO stimulated DNA synthesis and cell proliferation dose dependently. CONCLUSION: This is the first direct demonstration, to our knowledge, that renal cells possess EPO-Rs through which EPO stimulates mitogenesis. This suggests currently unrecognized cytokine functions for EPO in the kidney, which may prove beneficial in the repair of an injured kidney while being potentially detrimental in renal malignancies.  (+info)

Role of cytokine signaling molecules in erythroid differentiation of mouse fetal liver hematopoietic cells: functional analysis of signaling molecules by retrovirus-mediated expression. (2/3892)

Erythropoietin (EPO) and its cell surface receptor (EPOR) play a central role in proliferation, differentiation, and survival of erythroid progenitors. Signals induced by EPO have been studied extensively by using erythroid as well as nonerythroid cell lines, and various controversial results have been reported as to the role of signaling molecules in erythroid differentiation. Here we describe a novel approach to analyze the EPO signaling by using primary mouse fetal liver hematopoietic cells to avoid possible artifacts due to established cell lines. Our strategy is based on high-titer retrovirus vectors with a bicistronic expression system consisting of an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and green fluorescent protein (GFP). By placing the cDNA for a signaling molecule in front of IRES-GFP, virus-infected cells can be viably sorted by fluorescence-activated cell sorter, and the effect of expression of the signaling molecule can be assessed. By using this system, expression of cell-survival genes such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL was found to enhance erythroid colony formation from colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E) in response to EPO. However, their expression was not sufficient for erythroid colony formation from CFU-E alone, indicating that EPO induces signals for erythroid differentiation. To examine the role of EPOR tyrosine residues in erythroid differentiation, we introduced a chimeric EGFR-EPOR receptor, which has the extracellular domain of the EGF receptor and the intracellular domain of the EPOR, as well as a mutant EGFR-EPOR in which all the cytoplasmic tyrosine residues are replaced with phenylalanine, and found that tyrosine residues of EPOR are essential for erythroid colony formation from CFU-E. We further analyzed the function of the downstream signaling molecules by expressing modified signaling molecules and found that both JAK2/STAT5 and Ras, two major signaling pathways activated by EPOR, are involved in full erythroid differentiation.  (+info)

Iron depletion by phlebotomy with recombinant erythropoietin prior to allogeneic transplantation to prevent liver toxicity. (3/3892)

Iron overload may induce liver toxicity after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but it is not known if iron depletion prior to HSCT can reduce the risk of severe toxicity in this setting. We used subcutaneous recombinant erythropoietin (EPO) (25 UI/kg) three times a week and phlebotomy once a week, to prevent liver toxicity in a patient with advanced acute leukemia and liver disease due to severe iron overload, previous drug toxicity and hepatitis C viral infection. Over the 9 months prior to allogeneic HSCT, 34 phlebotomies were carried out. Serum ferritin dropped from 2964 to 239 microg/l and the ALT dropped to near normal values. At allogeneic HSCT no liver toxicity was observed, suggesting that iron depletion in the pretransplant period may contribute to reducing transplant-related toxicity in selected cases.  (+info)

Association of plasma fibrinogen concentration with vascular access failure in hemodialysis patients. (4/3892)

BACKGROUND: Elevated plasma fibrinogen is an important risk factor for coronary artery disease in the general population and patients with chronic renal failure. High plasma fibrinogen may trigger thrombus formation in arteriovenous fistulas. We performed a prospective, cohort study to evaluate the association of plasma fibrinogen concentration with vascular access failure in patients undergoing long-term haemodialysis. METHODS: Between September 1989 and October 1995, 144 patients underwent a vascular access operation. In March 1997, 102 patients (56 M, 46 F) who had been followed up for more than 18 months (median; 37 months, range; 18-102 months) were included in the study. The median age of the patients was 52 years (range; 19-78 years). In 35 patients, renal disease was secondary to diabetes mellitus. The type of vascular access was a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft in 17 patients. Seventy-seven patients received recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) therapy during the follow-up period. Plasma fibrinogen, albumin, total cholesterol, hematocrit, platelets and creatinine were measured at the time of operation. Vascular access failure was defined as the occurrence of complications requiring transluminal angioplasty, thrombolytic therapy or surgical repair. RESULTS: Thirty-eight patients had at least one vascular access failure and the incidence was 0.3 (range; 0-2.4) episodes per patient-year. The survival rate of vascular access was 78% (native fistula; 80%, PTFE graft; 71%) after 12 months and 70% (native fistula; 73%, PTFE graft; 51%) after 24 months. Older age, a PTFE graft, r-HuEPO therapy, higher hematocrit, lower albumin and higher fibrinogen levels were significantly associated with vascular access failure, whereas gender, diabetes mellitus, total cholesterol and platelet count were not. Plasma fibrinogen was inversely correlated with albumin (r=-0.38, P=0.001). The cumulative vascular access survival was significantly lower in patients with high plasma fibrinogen levels (> or = 460 mg/dl) compared with patients with low levels (< 460 mg/dl) (P=0.007). Independent risk factors for vascular access failure analysed by Cox's proportional hazards model were older age (RR; 1.36 by 10-year increment), higher fibrinogen level (RR; 1.20 by 100 mg/dl increment), PTFE graft (RR; 2.28) and r-HuEPO therapy (RR; 3.79). CONCLUSION: High plasma fibrinogen level is an independent risk factor for vascular access failure in haemodialysis patients.  (+info)

Advances in the biological therapy and gene therapy of malignant disease. (5/3892)

Biological and gene therapy of cancer have become important components of clinical cancer research. Advances in this area are based on evidence for the presence of tumor antigens, antitumor immune responses, evasion of host control by tumors, and the recognition of host defense failure in cancer patients. These mechanisms are being corrected or exploited in the development of biological and gene therapy. Over the last decade, 9 biological therapies have received Food and Drug Administration approval, and another 12 appear promising and will likely be approved in the next few years. Our approach to gene therapy has been to allogenize tumors by the direct intratumoral injection of HLA-B7/beta2-microglobulin genes as plasmid DNA in a cationic lipid into patients with malignant melanoma. In four Phase I studies, we found a 36% response by the local injected tumor and a 19% systemic antitumor response. In other cancers, gene transfer, expression, and an intratumoral T-cell response were seen, but no clinical response was seen. A variety of follow-up studies with HLA-B7 and other genes are planned. Evasion of host control is now a major target of gene therapy. Strategies to overcome this include up-regulation of MHC and introduction of cell adhesion molecules into tumor cells, suppression of transforming growth factor and interleukin 10 production by tumor cells, and blockade of the fas ligand-fas interaction between tumor cells and attacking lymphocytes. With these approaches, it seems likely that gene therapy may become the fifth major modality of cancer treatment in the next decade.  (+info)

Identification of the poly(C) binding protein in the complex associated with the 3' untranslated region of erythropoietin messenger RNA. (6/3892)

Hypoxia regulates expression of erythropoietin (EPO), a glycoprotein that stimulates erythrocytosis, at the level of transcription and also possibly at the level of messenger RNA (mRNA) stability. A pyrimidine-rich region within the EPO mRNA 3' untranslated region was implicated in regulation of EPO mRNA stability element and shown to bind protein factors. In the present study we wished to identify the protein factor binding to the pyrimidine-rich sequence in the EPO mRNA stability element. Using mobility shift assays, ultraviolet light cross-linking, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and electroelution of protein factors from the gel slices corresponding to the ribonucleoprotein complexes, we found that two isoforms of a 40 kD poly(C) binding protein (PCBP, also known as alphaCP or hnRNPE), PCBP1, and PCBP2 are present in that complex. In Hep3B or HepG2 cells hypoxia induces neither expression of PCBP nor formation of the ribonucleoprotein complex associated with EPO mRNA that involves PCBP.  (+info)

Erythropoietin depresses nitric oxide synthase expression by human endothelial cells. (7/3892)

We have recently shown that erythropoietin (EPO)-induced hypertension is unrelated to the rise in hematocrit and is marked by elevated cytosolic [Ca+2] and nitric oxide (NO) resistance. The present study was done to determine the effect of EPO on NO production and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) expression by endothelial cells. Human coronary artery endothelial cells were cultured to subconfluence and then were incubated for 24 hours in the presence of either EPO (0, 5, and 20 U/mL) alone or EPO plus the calcium channel blocker felodipine. The experiments were carried out with quiescent (0.5% FCS) and proliferating (5% FCS) cells. Total nitrate and nitrite, eNOS protein, DNA synthesis (thymidine incorporation), and cell proliferation (cell count) were determined. In addition, NO production in response to acetylcholine stimulation was tested. EPO resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of basal and acetylcholine-stimulated NO production and eNOS protein expression and also led to a significant dose-dependent stimulation of DNA synthesis in endothelial cells. The inhibitory effects of EPO on NO production and eNOS expression were reversed by felodipine. Thus, EPO downregulates basal and acetylcholine-stimulated NO production, depresses eNOS expression, and stimulates proliferation in isolated human endothelial cells. The suppressive effects of EPO on NO production and on eNOS expression are reversed by calcium channel blockade.  (+info)

Expression of the erythropoietin receptor by trophoblast cellsin the human placenta. (8/3892)

Nonclassical sites of erythropoietin (EPO) and erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) expression have been described that suggest new physiological roles for this hormone unrelated to erythropoiesis. The recent finding of EPO expression by trophoblast cells in the human placenta prompted us to consider whether these cells also express EPO-R. With use of immunocytochemistry, EPO-R was identified in villous and extravillous cytotrophoblast cells, as well as in the syncytiotrophoblast at all gestational ages. EPO-R was also expressed by cells within the villous core, including endothelial cells of fetoplacental blood vessels. Placental tissues and isolated and immunopurified trophoblast cells, as well as trophoblast-derived choriocarcinoma Jar cells, expressed immunoreactive EPO-R on Western blot. EPO-R mRNA was also detected in the same placental tissues and trophoblast cells by nested-primer reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Finally, EPO-R was functional insofar as the receptor was phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in response to exogenous EPO treatment of cultured trophoblast or Jar cells. Thus, the present findings support the hypothesis that trophoblast cells of the human placenta express EPO-R. In view of these results, taken together with previous work demonstrating EPO expression by the same cells, an autocrine role for this hormone in the survival, proliferation, or differentiation of placental trophoblast cells is proposed.  (+info)

he National Anemia Action Council states that about 3.4 million Americans are anemic, with causes ranging from serious chronic illnesses to simple dietary insufficiencies (1). Common symptoms include weakness, pallor, tachycardia, shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, chest pain, and numbness in the extremities (1). Since the late 1990s, recombinant erythropoietin has been used to treat anemic patients, including cancer patients whose anemia has been caused by chemotherapy (2).. Recombinant erythropoietin is also known as epoetin alfa, or EPO, a glycoprotein made by transplanting the human erythropoietin gene into the ovary cells of a Chinese hamster species (2). Due to its relative novelty in the research community, older and newer studies are very similar in their findings that erythropoietin effectively raises hemoglobin levels in anemic patients. Current research, however, is focused on quantifying hemoglobin concentration increases from erythropoietin treatment, exploring possible ...
Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the normobaric oxygen paradox theory by investigating the effect of a 2-h normobaric O(2) exposure on the concentration of plasma erythropoietin (EPO). Methods: Ten healthy males were studied twice in a single-blinded counterbalanced crossover study protocol. On one occasion they breathed air (NOR) and on the other 100% normobaric O(2) (HYPER). Blood samples were collected Pre, Mid and Post exposure; and thereafter, 3, 5, 8, 24, 32, 48, 72 and 96 h, and 1 and 2 weeks after the exposure to determine EPO concentration. Results: The concentration of plasma erythropoietin increased markedly 8 and 32 h after the NOR exposure (approx. 58% and approx. 52%, respectively, P , 0.05) as a consequence of its natural diurnal variation. Conversely, the O(2) breathing was followed by approx. 36% decrement of EPO 3 h after the exposure (P , 0.05). Moreover, EPO concentration was significantly lower in HYPER than in the NOR condition 3, 5 and 8 h after the ...
The effect of post-injury erythropoietin administration on mortality and Glasgow outcome scales of patients with traumatic brain injury: A metaanalysis., Faye B Garciano, Perry N N
Recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO), given intravenously, or even better, subcutaneously, represents a major advance in treating patients with end-stage renal failure. It has been studied most frequently in patients on hemodialysis and has been shown to increase hemoglobin levels, improve quality of life, and permit avoidance of transfusion with its concomitant risk of infection, iron overload, and sensitization (1). The major side effects of the medication have been hypertension and flu-like symptoms. Subcutaneous EPO can be self-administered and may require a lower dose than intravenous EPO (unfortunately, the mean maintenance dose of erythropoietin in this study was not indicated). The authors found no difference in hypertension between the 2 groups, and no unexpected side effects were reported. There has been concern that the increase in hematocrit in predialysis patients treated with EPO may be associated with acceleration of renal failure. Other studies have found no change in the ...
Erythropoietin (Epo), a 30.4-kD glycoprotein, is the principal regulator of erythropoiesis. To evaluate the concept that in vivo gene transfer might be used as an alternative to recombinant human Epo (rhEpo) in applications requiring a 1- to 3-week stimulation of erythropoiesis, the replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus AdMLP.Epo was constructed by deleting the majority of E1 from adenovirus type 5, and replacing E1 with an expression cassette containing the adenovirus type 5 major late promoter (MLP) and the human Epo gene, including the 32 cis-acting hypoxia response element. In vitro studies showed that infection of the human hepatocyte cell line Hep3B with AdMLP.Epo resulted in a 15-fold increase in Epo production in 24 hours that was enhanced to 116-fold in the presence of a hypoxic stimulus. One-time in vivo administration of AdMLP.Epo (7 x 10(9) plaque-forming units/kg) to the peritoneum of cotton rats caused a marked increase in red blood cell production, with a 2.6-fold increase ...

In the present investigation, we studied the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) on serum malondialdehyde (MDA) as an index of lipid peroxidation, related to iron-catalyzed free radical reaction and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities in very-low-birth weight (VLBW) infants. Forty premature infants, at gestational ages were less than 33 weeks and birthweights were less than 1,500 g, were enrolled in the study. The study population was randomly divided into 2 groups. Twenty infants in Group 1 (treatment group) were given r-HuEPO, and 20 infants in Group 2 served as the control. r-HuEPO treatment (750 U/kg a week) was initiated on the 10th day of life and continued for 6 weeks. Preterm infants given erythrocyte transfusions during the study were excluded from the results. Serum ferritin and MDA levels, and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities were analyzed ...
Background Our original demonstration of immunomodulatory effects of erythropoietin in multiple myeloma, led us to the search of the cells in the immune system that are direct targets to erythropoietin. The finding that lymphocytes do not express erythropoietin receptors, has led to the hypothesis that other cells act as direct targets and thus mediate the erythropoietin effects. Having found erythropoietin effects on dendritic cells thus led to the question of whether macrophages act as target cells to erythropoietin. Design and Methods EPO effects on macrophages were investigated both in-vivo and in-vitro. The in-vivo studies were performed on splenic macrophages and inflammatory peritoneal macrophages, in recombinant human erythropoietin -treated, compared to untreated mice, as well as in transgenic mice over-expressing human erythropoietin (tg6), compared to their control wild type counterparts. The in-vitro effects of erythropoietin on macrophage surface markers and function were ...

Study Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) in predialysis renal patients.. Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for 8 weeks.. Setting: Inpatient and outpatient facility in the Clinical Research Center of a university-based hospital.. Patients: Fourteen adult subjects with renal insufficiency (mean serum creatinine, 473 µmol/L ± 61 [6.2 µ 0.8 mg/dL] ) and anemia (mean hematocrit, 0.27 ± 0.01).. Interventions: Recombinant human erythropoietin, 50, 100, or 150 IU/kg body weight or placebo given intravenously three times per week.. Measurements and Main Results: Subjects who received active r-HuEPO showed a dose-dependent rise in hematocrit; mean hematocrit increased 41% from 0. 27 ± 0.01 to 0.38 ± 0.01. At the same time, erythrocyte mass rose 43% from 13.7 ± 0.6 mL/kg in the baseline state to 19.6 ± 1.0 mL/kg after treatment. Maximal oxygen consumption during exercise increased 9% from 16.0 mL/min · kg ± 1.8 to ...
Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) can improve human performance and is therefore frequently abused by athletes. As a result, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) introduced the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) as an indirect method to detect blood doping. Despite this progress, challenges remain to detect blood manipulations such as the use of microdoses of rHuEpo. Forty-five whole-blood transcriptional markers of rHuEpo previously derived from a high-dose rHuEpo administration trial were used to assess whether microdoses of rHuEpo could be detected in 14 trained subjects and whether these markers may be confounded by exercise (n = 14 trained subjects) and altitude training (n = 21 elite runners and n = 4 elite rowers, respectively). Differential gene expression analysis was carried out following normalisation and significance declared following application of a 5% false discovery rate (FDR) and a 1.5 fold-change. Adaptive model analysis was also applied to incorporate these markers for the

Animal Model. Neonatal Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: 1) no-stroke control, 2) saline control, and 3) rhEPO treatment. The surgical procedure of whisker-barrel cortex ischemia in neonatal rats followed similar methods as described previously (Wei et al., 2006). In brief, postnatal day 7 (P7) pups were anesthetized by hypothermia. Hypothermia anesthesia was chosen because many of the drugs used to anesthetize adult animals provided inadequate anesthesia for neonates or were associated with problems such as excessively high mortality (Danneman and Mandrell, 1997). In this regard, hypothermia (immersion in ice) has been judged as a humane, safe, and effective anesthesia method for survival surgeries of neonatal rats (Danneman and Mandrell, 1997). The hypothermia procedure was kept the same for all pups in different experimental groups. Pups were placed in a noninvasive head-holder to allow for a 2.5- to 3.0-mm-diameter craniectomy through the right parietal skull. The ...
The clinical development of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) has had a remarkable impact on the clinical practice of oncology. A decade ago, randomized, placebo-controlled trials in anemic cancer patients demonstrated that rHuEPO resulted in an improvement in hemoglobin and hematocrit, a reduction in transfusion requirements, and improvement in quality-of-life (QOL) end points. Based on these trials, recombinant erythropoietin was approved for the treatment of anemia in patients with nonmyeloid malignancies in whom the anemia was caused by the effect of chemotherapy.

There is debate concerning the benefits of rHu EPO use in pre-dialysis patients which may accelerate the deterioration of renal function. However the opposing view is that if rHu EPO is as effective in pre-dialysis patients, improving the patients sense of well-being may result in the onset of dialysis being delayed.Objectives To assess the effects of rHu EPO use in pre-dialysis ...

N2 - Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is often complicated by severe skin ulcers that are unresponsive to traditional treatments. Vascular alterations are responsible for the ischaemic features of the disease in both the skin and visceral organs. Defective neoangiogenesis correlates with an abnormally reduced quantity of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) caused by impaired maturation potential and proliferative capacity of bone-marrow endothelial stem cells. We report a patient with nonhealing cutaneous ulcers successfully treated with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO). The possible biological effects of this drug ...
Erythropoietin is an essential growth factor that promotes survival, proliferation, and differentiation of mammalian erythroid progenitor cells. Erythropoietin(−/−) and erythropoietin receptor(−/−) mouse embryos die around embryonic day 13.5 due, in part, to failure of erythropoiesis in the fetal liver. In this study, we demonstrated a novel role of erythropoietin and erythropoietin receptor in cardiac development in vivo. We found that erythropoietin receptor is expressed in the developing murine heart in a temporal and cell type-specific manner: it is initially detected by embryonic day 10.5 and persists until day 14.5. Both erythropoietin(−/−) and erythropoietin receptor(−/−) embryos suffered from ventricular hypoplasia at day 12-13 of gestation. This defect appears to be independent from the general state of hypoxia and is likely due to a reduction in the number of proliferating cardiac myocytes in the ventricular myocardium. Cell proliferation assays revealed that ...

We have used RNase protection to measure oxygen-dependent changes in erythropoietin (EPO) mRNA in isolated perfused kidneys and to compare the effect of hypoxia with the response to inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation. In well-oxygenated kidneys perfused for 2 h at 12 ml/min, with hematocrit of 0.09 +/- 0.005 and PO2 of 443 +/- 67 mmHg, EPO mRNA levels were similar to the baseline levels measured in nonperfused contralateral kidneys from the same animals. When perfusions were performed under identical conditions but at a PO2 of 32 +/- 4 mmHg, EPO mRNA increased approximately 16-fold. In contrast, graded concentrations of cyanide (10, 100, and 300 microM and 1 mM), antimycin (0.01, 0.1, 0.5, and 1 microM), and oligomycin (0.01, 0.1, and 1 microM) did not alter EPO mRNA in well-oxygenated perfused kidneys. However, in kidneys perfused at low PO2 with a high concentration of each inhibitor, EPO mRNA levels were increased, demonstrating that the ability to respond to hypoxia was retained. Thus
Background: Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is an important cause of renal graft dysfunction. Increases in cold and warm ischemia times lead to a higher risk of early posttransplant complications including delayed graft function and acute rejection. Moreover, prolonged cold ischemia is a predictor of long-term graft loss in kidney transplant patients. Methods: Darbepoetin alfa (DA) and carbamylated nonerythropoietic derivative of erythropoietin (CEPO) protective effects were evaluated in a model of I/R injury after kidney transplantation in both syngeneic and allogeneic combinations. The effects of wortmannin (phosphorylated Akt [p-Akt] inhibitor) administration were also investigated. Serum creatinine was evaluated at 16, 24, 48 hr and at 4 and 7 days posttransplant. Animals were killed 24 hr or 7 days after transplant and kidneys were processed for histological analysis, immunohistochemistry assessment of erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) and β-common chain receptor expression, granulocyte ...

Experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that rats could be made permanently anemic by repeated mixed gamma-neutron irradiations, and that once the maintenance of normal circulatory red cell concentration was lost, the administration of exogenous erythropoietin could not restore the production of red cells to normal levels. Rats were exposed to 9 periodic doses of 150 rads mixed gamma-neutron radiation or to 4 periodic doses of 300 rads. Hematocrits and erythrocyte counts obtained for 100 days or more after the final radiation exposure showed a significant reduction in erythrocyte production. This permanent anemia was not ameliorated by the treatment with 5 daily doses of either 5 units or 25 units of erythropoietin. These findings appear to strengthen the hypothesis that the permanent anemia is caused by a reduced capability for cellular proliferation due to accumulation of residual injury in stem cells.
Although rhEPO treatment is beneficial for CKD patients with renal anemia, several problems remain to be addressed. First, the increasing number of CKD patients is expanding the demand for rhEPO treatment, which, in turn, increases the total cost of this therapy. Second, it is difficult to physiologically control renal anemia using rhEPO treatment. The intermittent administration of rhEPO causes fluctuations in hemoglobin concentrations (3), which is associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular events (23). In addition, the target hemoglobin concentration for rhEPO treatment remains controversial, and hemoglobin concentrations in most patients are lower than those observed in healthy subjects (24). The physiological control of renal anemia based on a stable, normal range of hemoglobin concentrations may help in the treatment of CKD patients.. hiPSCs/ESCs are potential cell sources for regenerative medicine. Here, we generated EPO-producing cells from hiPSCs/ESCs and miPSCs/ESCs. ...

BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies and pilot clinical trials have shown that high-dose erythropoietin (EPO) reduces infarct size in acute myocardial infarction. We investigated whether a single high-dose of EPO administered immediately after reperfusion in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) would limit infarct size. METHODS: A total of 110 patients undergoing successful primary coronary intervention for a first STEMI was randomized to receive standard care either alone (n = 57) or combined with intravenous administration of 1,000 U/kg of epoetin β immediately after reperfusion (n = 53). The primary end point was infarct size assessed by gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance after 3 months. Secondary end points included left ventricular (LV) volume and function at 5-day and 3-month follow-up, incidence of microvascular obstruction (MVO), and safety. RESULTS: Erythropoietin significantly decreased the incidence of MVO (43.4% vs 65.3% in the control group, P = .03) and
The membrane-assisted isoform immunoassay (MAIIA) quantitates erythropoietin (EPO) isoforms as percentages of migrated isoforms (PMI). We evaluated the effect of recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) on the distribution of EPO isoforms in plasma in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, cross-over study. 16 healthy subjects received either low-dose Epoetin beta (5000 IU on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13); high-dose Epoetin beta (30.000 IU on days 1, 2 and 3 and placebo on days 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13); or placebo on all days. PMI on days 4, 11 and 25 was determined by interaction of N-acetyl glucosamine with the glycosylation dependent desorption of EPO isoforms. At day 25, plasma-EPO in both rhEPO groups had returned to values not different from the placebo group. PMI with placebo, reflecting the endogenous EPO isoforms, averaged 82.5 (10.3) % (mean (SD)). High-dose Epoetin beta decreased PMI on days 4 and 11 to 31.0 (4.2)% (p,0.00001) and 45.2 (7.3)% (p,0.00001). Low-dose Epoetin beta decreased ...
Erythropoietin (EPO) mRNA levels were measured by ribonuclease (RNase) protection in organs from unstimulated rats and from animals after normobaric hypoxia or hemorrhagic anemia. Both liver and kidney responded to stimulation with large increases in EPO mRNA, but the response characteristic to graded stimulation was different. The liver responded poorly to mild normobaric hypoxia, accounting for only 2 ± 1% of total EPO mRNA at 11% O2, but hepatic EPO mRNA levels increased steeply with more severe hypoxia so that at 7.5% O2 the liver contributed to 33 ± 7% of the total. After hemorrhagic anemia, the liver also responded more strongly to more severe stimulation, but at all points it accounted for a significant proportion of total EPO mRNA, contributing 18 ± 6% after removal of 2.5 ml (hematocrit 37.2 ± 1.3%), increasing to 37 ± 14% after venesection of 10.5 ml (hematocrit 15.8 ± 0.8%). Studies of EPO mRNA in other organs confirmed that EPO production outside the liver and kidney were

AU - Petersen, John R.. PY - 1993. Y1 - 1993. N2 - A sensitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the detection of erythropoietin (EPO) was developed using antibody directed against EPO from human urine. With 100 μL of sample, the assay is sensitive to 7 U/L, well below the mean EPO level in normal males (15.1 ± 3.5 U/L) or females (15.4 ± 4.8 U/L). Dilutions of a variety of human serum samples show a parallel relationship with the standard EPO. Clinical validation of the RIA was confirmed by appropriate increases or decreases of EPO levels in various types of anemia and polycythemia. Serum EPO levels were also measured in volunteers participating in an autologous blood donation study. The RIA proved to eb quite sensitve, detecting small increases even after a single unit phlebotomy. This RIA of human EPO meets all the ...
Abstract - The illegal administration of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) among athletes is largely preferred over blood doping to enhance stamina. The advent of recombinant DNA technology allowed the expression of EPO-encoding genes in several eukaryotic hosts to produce rHuEPO, and today these performance-enhancing drugs are readily available. As a mimetic of endogenous EPO (eEPO), rHuEPO augments the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. Thus, monitoring the illicit use of rHuEPO among athletes is crucial in ensuring an even playing field and maintaining the welfare of athletes. A number of rHuEPO detection methods currently exist, including measurement of hematologic parameters, gene-based detection methods, glycomics, use of peptide markers, electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing (IEF)-double immunoblotting, aptamer/antibody-based methods, and lateral flow tests. This review gleans these different strategies and highlights the leading molecular recognition elements that have potential ...

METHODS: Thirty-five rats were divided into 3 groups. In the baseline control group (BC, n=7), rats were uninjured and untreated. In the positive control group (PC, n=21) rats were injured but untreated. In the EPO-24 group (n=7), rats were injured and a single dose of intra-peritoneal EPO (5000 IU/kg) was administered immediately after lung injury. The PC group was divided into 3 subgroups: PC-6 (n=7), PC-12 (n=7), and PC-24 (n=7). The BC group was subjected to thoracotomy, and the right lung was harvested. The PC subgroups were eu-thanized at 6, 12, and 24 hours after injury, respectively. The EPO-24 group was euthanized at the 24th hour after injury. Lung samples were obtained, levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and EPO were analyzed, and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were then measured in homogenized lung tissue samples. Histologic damage to lung tissue in the BC group, the EPO-24 group, and PC subgroup euthanized at the 24th hour after injury were scored by a ...

David. PY - 1990. Y1 - 1990. N2 - Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF) is a monokine produced by activated macrophages that has cytotoxic and cytostatic effects on erythroid progenitor cells. We have recently shown that Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with the human TNF gene and which constitutively express TNF induced a hypoproliferative anemia, mild thrombocytopenia, and mild leukocytosis when injected into nude mice.

Erythropoietin, a hormone produced in the adult kidney, controls erythrocyte production. In response to ischemic or hypoxic hypoxia, the level of expression of the gene increases markedly. We have a limited understanding of the factors governing the tissue specificity of erythropoietin gene expression but considerable progress has been made toward understanding the mechanisms that increase erythropoietin gene expression in response to hypoxia. An increase in transcription occurs, mediated (at least in part) by formation of a heterodimeric DNA binding complex termed hypoxia inducible factor 1. Transcriptional regulation mediated by this complex has now been shown to modulate the expression of a number of other genes in a wide range of cell types.
Erythropoietin is a substance produced by the kidney that leads to the formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow. It is a glycoprotein hormone which regulates erythropoiesis (Red Blood Cell production). For erythrocyte precursors present in the bone marrow, EPO acts as a cytokine. Commonly referred to as hematopoietin or hemopoietin, erythropoietin is also known to have other biological functions, such as involvement in the wound healing cycle and brains response to neuronal injury. People suffering from End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), HIV or undergoing chemotherapy are not able to produce enough EPO on their own and thus, are administered with synthetic or recombinant erythropoietin which has the similar sequence of amino acids. Recombinant erythropoietin is a kind of therapeutic agent devised using DNA technology.. Request a sample of this report at http://www.orbisresearch.com/contacts/request-sample/127811 ..

Using the human hepatoma cell line Hep G2, we have studied a possible role of protein kinase C (PKC) activity for regulation of erythropoietin (EPO) production. During a 72-h incubation, EPO production by the cells was stimulated sevenfold by exposure to low oxygen tension (1%) and threefold by exposure to cobaltous chloride (100 microM). The phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate-13 acetate (PMA) led to a concentration-dependent inhibition of basal and stimulated EPO formation (ED50 10 nM). This decrease of EPO production, which was apparent already after 1 h of incubation with PMA, reached its maximal effect after 24 h and held on for 72 h. It was paralleled by an inhibition of the increase of EPO mRNA levels in response to stimulation. A 24-h preincubation of the cells with PMA (100 nM) virtually blunted the effect of hypoxia on EPO formation. Recovery of EPO synthesis after removal of PMA took 48-72 h. The effect of PMA on EPO production was mimicked by phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (ED50 1 microM) but not
Chemotherapy can often cause anemia in patients with cancer. Anemia is a low number of red blood cells. The symptoms of anemia may include fatigue, dizziness, headache, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Erythropoietin is a hormone made by the kidneys that signals the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. Recombinant human erythropoietin has been produced in the laboratory and has the same effect as the hormone produced by the body. Use of recombinant human erythropoietin allows the body to produce more red blood cells, possibly eliminating or decreasing your symptoms and the need for a red blood cell transfusion. Recombinant human erythropoietin is FDA approved to treat anemia in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
