Erythropoietin (EPO) is required for the survival and expansion of red blood cell progenitor cells and supports continued differentiation of these committed progenitors to mature red blood cells. After binding to its cognate receptor, EPO promotes receptor homodimerization, activation of receptor-associated JAK2, subsequent receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, and transduction of signal. EPO is a...
AIMS We intended to delineate the mechanisms of erythropoietin (EPO)-induced cardiac vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production and to establish if VEGF is crucial for EPO-induced improvement of cardiac performance. METHODS AND RESULTS The effects of EPO on VEGF expression were studied in cultured cardiac cells and EPO-treated hearts. The role of VEGF in EPO-induced neovascularizati...
In addition to the chief function of erythropoietin (Epo) in promoting erythropoiesis, some other roles have been found in the brain and uterus. We have reported that signalling pathways of Epo and Epo receptor (EpoR) are involved in the tumourigenesis of ovarian and uterine cancers. To determine whether Epo plays a similar role in other malignancies, we studied the expression of Epo in several...
Functional significance of co-expressed erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor (EPOR) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) had been under debate. In this study, co-overexpression of EPO/EPOR was confirmed to be positively associated with poor survival in NSCLC. The serum EPO in 14 of 35 enrolled NSCLC patients were found elevated significantly and decreased to normal level after tumor resection...
A drug that specifically inhibits erythropoiesis would be clinically useful. The erythropoietin (Epo) mutant Epo (R103A) could potentially be used for this purpose. Epo (R103A) has a single amino acid substitution of alanine for arginine at position 103. Because of this mutation, Epo (R103A) is only able to bind to one of the 2 subunits of the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) homodimer and is thu...
Purpose: Yolk sac hematopoietic stem cells (YS-HSC) have two dominant characteristices: a larger reproductive capacity and the absence of the expression of MHC associated antigens. Therefore, these cells are promising candidates for transplantation, cell therapy and gene manipulation. There are controversial reports on the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on the differentiation of yolk sac cells...
BACKGROUND Erythropoietin (EPO) is widely used in diabetic patients receiving hemodialysis. The role of EPO in glucose homeostasis remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effect of EPO on hyperglycemia in rats with type 1-like diabetes. METHODS Rats with streptozotocin-induced type 1-like diabetes (STZ rats) were used to estimate the blood glucose-lowering effects of EPO, and changes ...
OBJECTIVES We investigated the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on neovascularization and cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND Erythropoietin exerts antiapoptotic effects and mobilizes endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). METHODS We intravenously administered EPO (1,000 IU/kg) immediately [EPO(0) group], 6 h [EPO(6h) group], or 1 week [EPO(1wk) group] after the perma...
