Delayed erythropoiesis in irradiated rats grafted with syngeneic marrow: effects of cytotoxic drugs and iron-deficiency anemia.

چکیده
Erythropoiesis in spleens of lethally irradiated Lewis rats grafted with 4-35 X 10(6) syngeneic marrow cells was inhibited or delayed during the test period of 5 days; this was in marked contrast to observation in irradiated mice. The mechanism of this inhibition was the subject of this study. Pretreatment of recipients 9 days prior to irradiation with the cytotoxic drugs cyclophosphamide (CY), busulfan (BUS), or dimethylmyleran (DMM), or the induction of iron deficiency with anemia in recipients reversed this delayed erythropoiesis. However, neither iron-deficiency anemia nor pretreatment with BUS or DMM affected the ability of irradiated recipients to reject 20 to 50 X 10(6) allogeneic marrow cells. The administration of commercial preparations of erythropoietin to hosts stimulated erythropoiesis moderately. However, proliferation of syngeneic marrow cells was not enhanced when infused into lethally irradiated Spontaneous Hypertensive (SH) inbred-strain rats which have high levels of endogenous erythropoietin. Finally, plasma from irradiated rats treated with phenylhydrazine to produce severe anemia was rich in erythropoietin but failed to stimulate erythropoiesis in the cell transfer system. Two hypotheses are considered: (1) Irradiation inhibits the secretion of a factor (not erythropoietin) responsible for initiating early stages in differentiation of transplanted stem cells; iron-deficiency anemia and cytotoxic drugs stimulate the secretion of this factor. (2) Normal rats secrete a factor which suppresses erythropoiesis; iron-deficiency anemia and cytotoxic drugs inhibit the production or function of this factor. Cellular rather than humoral factors may by involved.

I RON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA is usually characterized by erythroid hyperplasia of the bone marrow, but impaired net synthesis of hemoglobin. This association suggests that the anemia may be due in part to ineffective erythropoiesis, i.e., destruction of immature red cells in the bone marrow or soon after their release into the circulation. Morphologic observations are also compatible with ineffectiv...

Vitamin A deficiency produces anemia and altered iron status. In this study with rats we tested two hypotheses regarding vitamin A deficiency: (1) that it impairs erythropoiesis, leading to an increased red cell turnover, and (2) that it inhibits the glycosylation of transferrin. Erythropoietic activity was assessed indirectly by determining the myeloid:erythroid ratio in bone marrow smears, th...

The IgG fraction of the patient's serum effected similar suppression of erythroid colony formation. Prednisone therapy was ineffective, but foll...
