Disease relevance of EPO

 

High impact information on EPO

  • Role of endogenous prostaglandin E2 in erythropoietin production and dome formation by human renal carcinoma cells in culture [5].
  • However, after the cultured cells became confluent, the levels of Ep in the incubated media showed a marked increase to 222.9 +/- 5.26 mU/ml (n = 5) at 30 d of cultivation [5].
  • Studies were carried out on the role of endogenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in erythropoietin (Ep) production and dome formation in primary monolayer cultures of a human renal carcinoma from a patient with erythrocytosis that has been serially transplanted into BALB/c athymic nude mice [5].
  • In the plasma clot culture system both normal and polycythemia vera (PV) bone marrow cells respond to erythropoietin (Ep), giving rise to large numbers of colonies of erythroid cells [2].
  • These results indicate that a portion of the NH2-terminal region of erythropoietin is exposed on the surface of the protein at some distance from the receptor-binding domain [6].
 

Biological context of EPO

 

Anatomical context of EPO

 

Associations of EPO with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of EPO

  • The effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (Ep) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on colony formation by human hemopoietic progenitors was examined in a methylcellulose culture system [17].
 

Other interactions of EPO

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of EPO

  • The expression of the bovine Epo gene in tissues from a severely anemic calf, bovine fetus and a healthy steer was analysed by a competitive RT-PCR method [7].
  • The release profile was comparable to FITC-Dextran 40 kDa (FD 40) loaded microspheres in the initial release phase, while EPO release was leveling off at later time points [13].
  • Different polymer compositions were studied for the microencapsulation of EPO using a modified double-emulsion process (W/O/W) [13].
  • A bioassay was used to measure erythropoietin (EPO) concentrations in calves with haemorrhagic anaemia due to blood loss and in calves with anaemia due to Trypanosoma congolense infection [1].
  • In addition, the cultured cells at each time period were incubated for 24 h in 5 ml of serum-free Eagle's MEM and the levels of PGE2 and Ep in the incubated media were measured via radioimmunoassay [5].
