Autocrine stimulation by erythropoietin (Epo) requires Epo secretion.
Erythropoietin (Epo) autocrine stimulation has been implicated in erythroblastic leukemia. To examine whether this stimulation could occur intracellularly, we developed Epo autocrine models of stimulation in the human pluripotent UT-7 cell line. Retroviral expression of Epo totally abolished the growth factor requirement of UT-7 cells. Autonomous proliferation was not cell density-dependent and...
متن کاملErythropoietin (EPO) in acute kidney injury
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a 30.4 kDa glycoprotein produced by the kidney, and is mostly well-known for its physiological function in regulating red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Accumulating evidence, however, suggests that EPO has additional organ protective effects, which may be useful in the prevention or treatment of acute kidney injury. These protective mechanisms are multifactor...
متن کاملAnti-erythropoietin (EPO) receptor monoclonal antibodies distinguish EPO-dependent and EPO-independent erythroid progenitors in polycythemia vera.
Erythroid progenitor cells isolated from patients with polycythemia vera (PV) proliferate and differentiate in methylcellulose in the absence of exogenous erythropoietin (EPO). To investigate the potential role of the erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) in the pathogenesis of PV, we cultured bone marrow-derived or peripheral blood-derived erythroid progenitors in the presence of neutralizing monocl...
متن کاملJNK and p38 are activated by erythropoietin (EPO) but are not induced in apoptosis following EPO withdrawal in EPO-dependent HCD57 cells.
Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38, members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family of serine/threonine kinases, are activated as a result of cellular stress but may also play a role in growth factor-induced proliferation and/or survival or differentiation of many cells. A recent report has implicated JNK and p38 in the induction of apoptosis in the erythropoietin (EPO)-dependent erythr...
متن کاملDirect cardiac actions of erythropoietin (EPO): effects on cardiac contractility, BNP secretion and ischaemia/reperfusion injury.
EPO (erythropoietin) has recently been shown to have protective actions upon the myocardium; however, the direct effects of EPO upon cardiac contractile and secretory functions are unknown and the signalling mechanisms are not well defined. In the present study, we provide the first evidence of direct cardiac contractile actions of EPO. In isolated perfused Sprague-Dawley rat hearts, a 30 min i...
