چکیده

By WENDELL F. RossE, THOMAS WALDMANN AND ELEANOR Huu. H YPOXIA AND ANEMIA have been known for many years to stimulate erythropoiesis in mammals, including man.1 In recent years, these stimuli have been shown to have their effect through a humoral factor, erythropoietin.2 J acobson, et al. have suggested that lack of oxygen, relative to the metabolic needs of the animal, is the fundamental stimulus for erythropoiesis and that this relative lack is sensed by some portion of the body, resulting in the production of erythropoietin.3 The lack of oxygen in the sensitive tissues may be due to hypoxic environment, to reduction of circulating hemoglobin, to the histotoxic effects of chemicals or, on the other hand, to an increase in tissue oxygen needs due to elevation of the rate of metabolism. There is some evidence that this hypothesis may not hold for lower animals. Chronic hypoxia does not induce polycythemia in turtles,4 frogs5’6 or lizards,6 although this response is said to occur in newts7 and fish.8 No reticulocytosis is seen in response to acute or chronic anoxia in the turtle although evidence of increased erythropoiesis is seen in response to bleeding.4 The present experiments were designed to test the erythropoietic response of frogs to bleeding, hypoxia, and to cobaltous ion administration. The response was measured by determining the incorporation of thymidine-2-C” into circulating erythrocytes. This compound is incorporated into desoxyribonucleic acid only of dividing cells; is not exchanged, once incorporated, until the cell dies; and is not incorporated into the non-dividing cell.#{176} This same system was used to test the erythropoietic effect of various sera.

p-ERK1/2 is a predictive factor of response to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in low/int-1 myelodysplastic syndromes.

Serum erythropoietin level less than 100U/L and a transfusion requirement of less than 2 units per month are the best predictive factors for response to treatment by erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in low/int-1 myelodysplastic syndromes. To investigate the factors influencing the response to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, we enrolled 127 low/int-1 myelodysplastic syndrome patients at diag...

Ferritin Elevation and Improved Responsiveness to Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents in Patients on Ferric Citrate Hydrate

Introduction In hemodialysis patients on ferric citrate hydrate, the increase in ferritin level is mainly due to the administration of the compound. We investigated possible other factors associated with ferritin level and how erythropoietin resistance index and erythropoiesis in those patients were affected. We looked at ferritin-elevating factors using data from a Japanese phase III long-term...

Mutual inhibition of murine erythropoiesis and granulopoiesis during combined erythropoietin, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and stem cell factor administration: in vivo interactions and dose-response surfaces.

We investigated the in vivo effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on granulopoiesis and, conversely, the effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment on erythropoiesis. Recombinant human EPO at four different doses in combination with recombinant human G-CSF also at four different doses was simultaneously administered for 7 days to splenectomized mice. In total, 16 different comb...

Evaluation of plasma erythropoietic-stimulating factors in anemic uremic patients.

HE ASSOCIATION of a moderately severe normochromic, normocytic anemia with chronic renal disease is well recognized. Diminished erythropoiesis,’3 hemolysis1’3’4 and hemorrhage5’#{176} have all been shown to contribute to the development of anemia in azotemic patients. However, diminished red cell production appears to be the predominant mechanism in renal anemia. The dynamics of this failure of...

Hepcidin as a predictive factor and therapeutic target in erythropoiesis-stimulating agent treatment for anemia of chronic disease in rats.

Anemia of chronic disease is a multifactorial disorder, resulting mainly from inflammation-driven reticuloendothelial iron retention, impaired erythropoiesis, and reduced biological activity of erythropoietin. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents have been used for the treatment of anemia of chronic disease, although with varying response rates and potential adverse effects. Serum concentrations o...

Diamond-Blackfan Anemia: Promotion of Marrow Erythropoiesis In Vitro

To clarify the defective erythropoiesis in eight patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia. we studied their bone marrow response in vitro to recombinant human interleukin-3 (11-3) and recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). In an erythropoietincontaining assay system. specimens from six of the eight patients yielded low numbers of erythroid colonies compared to contr...
