Serum erythropoietin (ESF) levels and erythroid progenitors (CFU-Es) of patients with chronic myeloproliferative disorders.

چکیده
Serum erythropoietin (ESF) levels and the numbers of marrow and blood erythroid progenitors (CFU-Es) of patients with chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD) were studied simultaneously. The numbers of marrow and blood CFU-Es per 1 x 10(5) cells were normal or greatly elevated. There was an inverse correlation between the hemoglobin concentration and the serum ESF level in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia when the hemoglobin concentration ranged from 9.0 to 13.0 g/100 ml. The serum ESF level was closely related to the hemoglobin concentration in CMPD and it was suggested that the negative feedback mechanism might operate in anemic patients with CMPD.

Erythroid progenitors in adult chronic pure red cell aplasia: relationship of in vitro erythroid colonies to therapeutic response.
Twenty-two cases of idiopathic chronic pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) in adults have been studied to evaluate their erythroid progenitors in vitro using the plasma clot technique. Three types of culture growth patterns were observed and classified as follows. Type I: showing a normal number of autologous CFU-E; type II: CFU-E and BFU-E were detectable but constantly decreased; type III: CFU-E and...
متن کاملDifferences among myeloproliferative disorders in the behavior of their restricted progenitor cells in culture.
We have studied the behavior in culture of circulating restricted hemopoietic progenitor cells from patients with idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF), polycythemia vera (PV), and essential thrombocytopenia (ET). We have found differences in circulating granulocyte-macrophage, erythroid, and megakaryocytic progenitors that appear to be specific for these chronic myeloproliferative disorders. In IMF, ...
متن کاملSerum erythropoietin (EST) titers in anemia.
Erythropoietin (ESF) titers were determined in sera from patients with different types of anemia using the fetal mouse liver cell bioassay. An inverse relationship was found between hemoglobin concentration and ESF titer. However, ESF titers differed markedly between patients at comparable degrees of anemia. Several groups of patients were distinguished on the basis of the activity of their ery...
متن کاملCharacterization of Murine JAK2-Positive Myeloproliferative Disease
The JAK2 mutation is present in almost all patients with polycythemia vera (PV), large proportions of patients with essential thrombocythemia and idiopathic myelofibrosis, and less frequently in atypical myeloproliferative disorders (MPD). We show that transplantation of JAK2-transduced bone marrow into BALB/c mice induces MPD reminiscent of human PV, characterized by erythrocytosis, granulocyt...

Marrow regulation and iron metabolism were evaluated in 17 patients with mild or moderate anemia associated with chronic disorders. In addition, whole blood P50 and red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) levels were measured. The study group consisted of seven patients with non-hematologic malignancies, nine with infection or inflammation, and one with idiopathic hypoproliferative anemia. The me...
