Correction to: “Carbamylated Erythropoietin: A Prospective Drug Candidate for Neuroprotection”

چکیده
Carbamylated erythropoietin (cEpo), which is neuroprotective but lacks hematopoietic activity, has been attracting rising concerns. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the process of neuroprotection of cEpo are not well known. Based on several recent reports, the neuroprotective effects of cEpo are illustrated, and signaling pathways involved in the different effects of erythropoietin and cEpo are discussed. These newly reported researches may shed new light on the development and application of cEpo, a prospective drug candidate for neuroprotection.

Protective effect of erythropoietin and its carbamylated derivative in experimental Cisplatin peripheral neurotoxicity.
PURPOSE Antineoplastic drugs, such as cisplatin (CDDP), are severely neurotoxic, causing disabling peripheral neuropathies with clinical signs known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity. Cotreatment with neuroprotective agents and CDDP has been proposed for preventing or reversing the neuropathy. Erythropoietin given systemically has a wide range of neuroprotective actions in animal...
متن کاملP39: The Neuroprotection Effect of Erythropoietin in Cerebral Ischemia
Cerebral ischemia causes death of millions people all over the world, annually and also suffering more people from neurological deficits and neuromuscular disorders. In our country, 250 to 300 people experience mild to severe stroke, daily. In this study we reviewed 120 original paper selected from PubMED database. Our keywords were erythropoietin, anti-inflammatory, stroke, neuropathy and cere...
متن کاملDevelopment of Non-erythropoietic Erythropoietin Variants for Neuroprotection
Erythropoietin is well known to possess erythropoietic activity, but also tissue protection. Here, we present examples on how to separate these two activities. One possibility is to generate a short-lived variant by removal of EPO’s sialic acid residues. Although asialo-EPO has a high affinity for the classical EPO-R, it lacks hematopoetic activity in vivo upon bolus injection, because of its s...
متن کاملCarbamylation of serum albumin and erythropoietin resistance in end stage kidney disease.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The mechanisms underlying erythropoietin resistance are not fully understood. Carbamylation is a post-translational protein modification that can alter the function of proteins, such as erythropoietin. The hypothesis of this study is that carbamylation burden is independently associated with erythropoietin resistance. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In ...
متن کاملComparison of Neurite Outgrowth Induced by Erythropoietin (EPO) and Carbamylated Erythropoietin (CEPO) in Hippocampal Neural Progenitor Cells
A previous animal study has shown the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) and its non-erythropoietic carbamylated derivative (CEPO) on neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus. In the present study, we sought to investigate the effect of EPO on adult hippocampal neurogenesis, and to compare the ability of EPO and CEPO promoting dendrite elongation in cultured hippocampal neural progenitor cells. Two-month...
