The effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) on blood cells of adult and immature rats
Human recombinant erythropoietin is a synthetic hormone for treatment of some kinds of anemia. In this study, the effect of this hormone was investigated on blood cell changes in adult and immature rats. For this purpose, the hormone was administered at doses of 50, 100, and 200 IU/Kg (s.c.) twice a week for a period of 6 weeks. Then, the number of red blood cells (RBC), subtypes of white blood...
متن کاملEffects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (rHuEpo) on the Blood Cells and Hematopoiesis in Spleen of Rats
Recombinant human erythropoietin is a glycoprotein hormone that stimulates erythropoiesis. In clonogenic assays of hematopoietic progenitors, high concen-trations of erythropoietin (Epo) increase CFU-E and diminish the number of granulocytes formed per culture plate. Fetal progenitors are more sensitive to these effects of Epo than progenitors from adults. We administered doses 50, 100, 200 IU/...
متن کاملEffects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Pretreatment on Anti-HLA Antibody Titer: A Preclinical Experience in Rats
Background: Erythropoietin (EPO) was first known as a factor for red blood cell proliferation and differentiation. New studies show the effects of EPO on immune system. Objective: In this study, the effects of pretreatment with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on the anti-human leukocyte antibody (anti-HLA) titer were determined. Methods: Three groups of rats were sensitized with human...
متن کاملThe Wilms' tumor suppressor Wt1 activates transcription of the erythropoietin receptor in hematopoietic progenitor cells.
The Wilms' tumor protein Wt1 is required for embryonic development and has been implicated in hematologic disorders. Since Wt1 deficiency may compromise the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells, we analyzed the possible role of the transcriptionally active Wt1 isoform, Wt1(-KTS), in regulating the expression of the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR). Wt1 and EpoR were coe...
متن کاملHyporesponsiveness to recombinant human erythropoietin.
The introduction of recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-Epo, epoetin) as a treatment for the anaemia of renal failure has transformed the management of this condition. Nevertheless, a significant number of patients fail to respond. There are many different possible causes of inadequate response to epoetin. Iron deficiency, whether absolute or functional, is considered to be the most important,...
