Emerging EPO and EPO receptor regulators and signal transducers.

چکیده
As essential mediators of red cell production, erythropoietin (EPO) and its cell surface receptor (EPO receptor [EPOR]) have been intensely studied. Early investigations defined basic mechanisms for hypoxia-inducible factor induction of EPO expression, and within erythroid progenitors EPOR engagement of canonical Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (JAK2/STAT5), rat sarcoma/mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (RAS/MEK/ERK), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways. Contemporary genetic, bioinformatic, and proteomic approaches continue to uncover new clinically relevant modulators of EPO and EPOR expression, and EPO's biological effects. This Spotlight review highlights such factors and their emerging roles during erythropoiesis and anemia.

Blood Spotlight Emerging EPO and EPO receptor regulators and signal transducers
Early parabiotic experiments with anemic and nephrectomized rats predicted the existence of erythropoietin (EPO) as a blood-borne kidney-derived activator of erythropoiesis. Evidence that EPO occurs as a unique glycoprotein hormone was further advanced via arduous fractionations and bioassays of urinary proteins from anemia patients. The purification, partial sequencing, and cloning of erythrop...
متن کاملIdentification of the human erythropoietin receptor region required for Stat1 and Stat3 activation.
Signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stat) proteins play important roles in the regulation of hematopoiesis as downstream molecules of cytokine signal transduction. It was previously demonstrated that erythropoietin (EPO), a major regulator of erythropoiesis, activates 3 different Stat members, Stat1, Stat3, and Stat5, in a human EPO-dependent cell line, UT-7/EPO. To clarify the ...
متن کاملInduction of sequence-specific DNA-binding factors by erythropoietin and the spleen focus-forming virus.
The signal transduction mechanism of erythropoietin (Epo), which regulates growth and differentiation of erythroid cells, is still unclear. Recent studies showing the activation by various ligands of a group of proteins called Stat (signal transducers and activators of transcription) proteins raised the possibility that such proteins may also be involved in the Epo signal transduction pathway. ...

متن کاملTyrosine kinase receptor RON functions downstream of the erythropoietin receptor to induce expansion of erythroid progenitors.
Erythropoietin (EPO) is required for cell survival during differentiation and for progenitor expansion during stress erythropoiesis. Although signaling pathways may couple directly to docking sites on the EPO receptor (EpoR), additional docking molecules expand the signaling platform of the receptor. We studied the roles of the docking molecules Grb2-associated binder-1 (Gab1) and Gab2 in EPO-i...
