RED CELLS, IRON, AND ERYTHROPOIESIS Dexamethasone and lenalidomide have distinct functional effects on erythropoiesis
Corticosteroids and lenalidomide decrease red blood cell transfusion dependence in patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), respectively. We explored the effects of dexamethasone and lenalidomide, individually and in combination, on the differentiation of primary human bone marrow progenitor cells in vitro. Both agents promote erythropoiesis, increasing th...
متن کاملHow we treat lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.
Lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are defined as having low or intermediate 1 risk by the International Prognostic Scoring System and are characterized mainly by anemia in most cases. Supportive care--primarily red blood cell transfusions--remains an important component of their treatment, but exposes patients to insufficient correction of anemia, alloimmunization, and organ iron over...
متن کاملRED CELLS hem6: an ENU-induced recessive hypochromic microcytic anemia mutation in the mouse
Mouse models have proven invaluable for understanding erythropoiesis. Here, we describe an autosomal recessive, inherited anemia in the mouse mutant hem6. Hematologic and transplantation analyses reveal a mild, congenital, hypochromic, microcytic anemia intrinsic to the hematopoietic system that is associated with a decreased red blood cell zinc protoporphyrin to heme ratio, indicative of porph...
متن کاملRED CELLS Microcytic anemia, erythropoietic protoporphyria, and neurodegeneration in mice with targeted deletion of iron-regulatory protein 2
Iron-regulatory proteins (IRPs) 1 and 2 posttranscriptionally regulate expression of transferrin receptor (TfR), ferritin, and other iron metabolism proteins. Mice with targeted deletion of IRP2 overexpress ferritin and express abnormally low TfR levels in multiple tissues. Despite this misregulation, there are no apparent pathologic consequences in tissues such as the liver and kidney. However...
متن کاملIncreased formation of early-labeled bilirubin in rats with iron deficiency anemia: evidence for ineffective erythropoiesis.
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...
