Project description:Erythropoietin (EPO) drives erythropoiesis and is secreted mainly by the kidney upon hypoxic or anemic stress. The paucity of EPO production in renal EPO-producing cells (REPs) causes renal anemia, one of the most common complications of chronic nephropathies. Although mitochondrial dysfunction is commonly observed in several renal and hematopoietic disorders, the mechanism by which mitochondrial quality control impacts renal anemia remains elusive. In this study, we showed that FUNDC1, a mitophagy receptor, plays a critical role in EPO-driven erythropoiesis induced by stresses. Mechanistically, EPO production is impaired in REPs in Fundc1-/- mice upon stresses, and the impairment is caused by the accumulation of damaged mitochondria, which consequently leads to the elevation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and triggers inflammatory responses by up-regulating proinflammatory cytokines. These inflammatory factors promote the myofibroblastic transformation of REPs, resulting in the reduction of EPO production. We therefore provide a link between aberrant mitophagy and deficient EPO generation in renal anemia. Our results also suggest that the mitochondrial quality control safeguards REPs under stresses, which may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of renal anemia.

Project description:Erythropoietin (EPO) is the major regulator of erythropoiesis, with levels increasing in response to anemia or hypoxia. Recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) is commonly used to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease or cancer. Beyond its role in erythropoiesis, EPO exerts immunomodulatory effects. Emerging evidence suggests that EPO modulates other hematopoietic lineages, such as megakaryocytes while negatively impacting B-cell development. However, its influence on lympho-hematopoiesis remains insufficiently explored. We investigated the effects of EPO on B lymphopoiesis in the context of hyper-EPOemia-induced stress hematopoiesis. Using an EPO supplementation model in C57BL/6 mice, we demonstrate that EPO impairs B lymphopoiesis during Pre-Pro-B to Pro-B transition, by downregulating essential receptor like IL-7 receptor. Conversely, EPO promotes early B-cell development at the common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) and Pre-Pro-B stages. Remarkably, EPO induces the emergence of atypical B-cell precursors with a myeloid imprint, including CSF1R/CD115-expressing CLPs and CD11b and CD16/32-expressing Pre-Pro-B cells. Gene expression profiling revealed that EPO reprograms early B-cell precursors, upregulating a myeloid transcriptional signature while downregulating B-lymphoid identity genes as for instance genes targeted by key transcription factors IRF4, FOXO1, ERG and IRF8. Additionally, EPO exposure impairs hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell proliferation, induces oxidative stress and disrupts iron homeostasis. We additionally observed lymphoid over myeloid progenitor imbalance in the bone marrow and increased extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen. In conclusion, hyper-EPOemia reprograms B lymphopoiesis and promotes the emergence of mixed-lineage myeloid-like B cells. Future studies will explore EPO’s effects on lymphoid progenitor fate under hypoxic and infectious conditions.

Project description:Erythropoiesis is a tightly regulated process. Development of red blood cells occurs through differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into more committed progenitors and finally into erythrocytes. Binding of erythropoietin to its receptor (EpoR) is strictly required for erythropoiesis as it promotes survival and late maturation of erythroid progenitors. In vivo and in vitro studies have highlighted the requirement of EpoR signaling through Jak2 tyrosine-kinase and Stat5a/b as a central pathway. Here, we demonstrate that phospholipase C gamma 1 (Plcγ1) is activated downstream of EpoR/Jak2 independently of Stat5. Plcγ1-deficient proerythroblasts and erythroid progenitors exhibited strong impairment in differentiation and colony-forming potential. In vivo, suppression of Plcγ1 in immunophenotypically defined hematopoietic stem cells (Lin-Sca1+KIT+CD48-CD150+) severely reduced erythroid development. To identify Plcγ1 effector molecules involved in regulation of erythroid differentiation we assessed for changes on the level of transcription and DNA methylation after inactivation of Plcγ1. The single common downstream effector was H2AFY2, which encodes for the histone variant macroH2A2 (mH2A2). Suppression of macroH2A2 expression recapitulated the effects of Plcγ1 knockdown on erythroid maturation. Taken together, our findings identify Plcγ1 and its downstream target macroH2A2, as a ânon-canonicalâ signaling pathway essential for erythroid differentiation. MCIP-seq was used to interrogate methylation changes during Epo-induced differentiation of murine I/11 erythroblastic cell line upon knock-down of Plcy1 as compared to a mock control. Two different shRNA constructs that target Plcg1 were investigated at two different time points.

Project description:Hypoxia is associated with increased erythropoietin (EPO) release to drive erythropoiesis. However, a prolonged sojourn at high altitude results in an increase in EPO levels followed by a decrease, although erythropoiesis remains elevated at a stable level. The role of hypoxia and related EPO adjustments are not fully understood and contributed to the formulation of the theory of neocytolysis. In this study, we aimed to exclusively evaluate the role of oxygen on erythropoiesis comparing in vitro erythroid differentiation performed at atmospheric oxygen, with a lower oxygen concentration (3% O2) and with cultures of erythroid precursors isolated from peripheral blood after a 19-day sojourn at high altitude (3450 m). Results highlight an accelerated erythroid maturation at low oxygen and more concave morphology of reticulocytes. No differences in deformability were observed in the formed reticulocytes in the tested conditions. Moreover, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells isolated from blood affected by hypoxia at high altitude did not result in a different erythroid development, suggesting no retention of high altitude signature but rather an immediate adaptation to oxygen concentration. This adaptation was observed during in vitro erythropoiesis at 3% oxygen, displaying a significantly increased glycolytic metabolic profile. These hypoxia-induced effects on in vitro erythropoiesis fail to provide an intrinsic explanation to the concept of neocytolysis.

Project description:Erythropoietin (EPO) is the primary regulator of erythropoiesis in the mammalian fetus and the adult through interaction with erythropoietin receptor (EPOR). Deficiency of EPO induces anemia that is a major cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease. Thus, development of safe treatment for anemia is an urgent issue. In this study, we investigated the effect of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on serum EPO level and erythropoiesis, and its mechanism was elucidated in rat. GABA significantly (P < 0.05) increased EPO level in serum and expression levels of EPO and EPOR in a dose dependent manner. GABA increased the expression levels of HIF-1 and HIF-2 in a dose dependent manner compared with the negative control; while GABA did not affect the expression of prolyl-hydroxylase domain protein-2α (PHD-2α) gene, an oxygen sensor. GABA supplementation alters energy production pathway resulted in hypoxic condition, which increases EPO level in rat through overexpression of HIF-1 and HIF-2. This study shows a new physiological role of GABA in EPO production and thus GABA could contribute to the prevention of anemia by using alone or in combination with other anemia treating drugs.

Project description:The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment consists of a small pool of cells capable of replenishing all blood cells. Although it is established that the hematopoietic system is assembled as a hierarchical organization under steady-state conditions, emerging evidence suggests that distinct differentiation pathways may exist in response to acute stress. However, it remains unclear how different hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell subpopulations behave under sustained chronic stress. Here, by using adult transgenic mice over-expressing erythropoietin (EPO; Tg6) and a combination of in vivo, in vitro, and deep sequencing approaches, we found that HSCs respond differentially to chronic erythroid stress than their closely related multipotent progenitors (MPPs). Specifically, HSCs exhibit a vastly committed erythroid progenitor profile with enhanced cell division, while MPPs display erythroid and myeloid cell signatures and an accumulation of uncommitted cells. Thus, our results identify HSCs as master regulators of chronic stress erythropoiesis, potentially circumventing the hierarchical differentiation-detour.

Project description:Abstract Background: Several studies on the use of erythropoietin (Epo) to treat anaemia in patients undergoing cancer treatment have shown adverse effects on tumour control and survival. Experimental studies indicate that this could be linked to an interaction with wound healing processes and not an effect on tumour cells per se. We have previously shown that erythropoietin in combination with surgical trauma stimulates tumour growth. In the present study, we investigated the effect of surgery and Epo on gene expression. Methods: Human tumours from oral squamous cell cancer were xenotransplanted to nude mice treated with Epo. The tumours were then transected in a standardised procedure to mimic surgical trauma and the change in gene expression of the tumours was investigated by microarray analysis. qRT-PCR was used to measure the levels of mRNAs of pro-apoptotic genes. The frequency of apoptosis in the tumours was assessed using immunohistochemistry for caspase-3. Results: There was little change in the expression of genes involved in tumour growth and angiogenesis but a significant down-regulation of the expression of genes involved in apoptosis. This effect on apoptosis was confirmed by a general decrease in the expression of mRNA for selected pro-apoptotic genes. Epo-treated tumours had a significantly lower frequency of apoptosis as measured by immunohistochemistry for caspase 3. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the increased tumour growth during erythropoietin treatment might be due to inhibition of apoptosis, an effect that becomes significant during tissue damage such as surgery. This further suggests that the decreased tumour survival during erythropoietin treatment might be due to inhibition of apoptosis. Key words: Erythropoietin, Head and neck cancer, surgery, apoptosis, wound healing, xenograft. We wanted to study the effect of wound healing mechanisms on remaining tumour tissue efter incomplete surgery or biopsy. We xenografted human Head and Neck squamous Cell Cancer (HNSCC) tumours on Balb/c nude mice. The mice were divided in six groups. Three of the groups received intrapertoneal doses of erythropoietin (Epo) and the other three groups were given NaCl as placebo. One treated and one non-treated group were harvested without surgical transection. In the other four groups, the tumours were transected mimicking subtotal surgery. One Epo-treated and one non-treated group was analysed after 24 hours after transection and the remaining two groups 48 hours after surgery. Groups C and D were not analyzed due to harvesting at an unsuitable time interval. Group A No surgery (=FALSE) + Epo Group B No surgery (=FALSE) + NaCl Group E Surgery (=TRUE) + Epo 24 hours after surgical transection Group F Surgery (=TRUE) + NaCl 24 hours after surgical resection Group G Surgery (=TRUE) + Epo 48 hours after surgical transection Group H Surgery (=TRUE) + Nacl 48 hours after surgical transection

Project description:Erythropoietin (Epo) is the master regulator of erythropoiesis and oxygen homeostasis. Despite its physiological importance, the molecular and genomic contexts of the cells responsible for renal Epo production have not yet been resolved, limiting effective cell-based therapies for anemia. Here, we performed single-cell profiling of an Epo reporter mouse to molecularly identify Epo-producing cells under hypoxic conditions. We report that a distinct and homogeneous population of kidney stromal cells, which we name Norn cells, are the sole source of Epo production in vivo. Extensive characterization of the Norn epigenetic and transcriptional landscapes revealed Norn-specific markers, pathways, and transcription factor circuits conserved from mice to humans. These findings open new avenues to functionally dissect EPO gene regulation in human evolution and disease, and pave the way for the next generation of genetic and cell-based approaches for EPO therapies.

Project description:Neonatal hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) results in neurological impairments; cell-based therapy has been suggested as a therapeutic avenue. Previous research has demonstrated the synergistically potentiated therapeutic efficacy of human umbilical cord blood (UCB) by combining recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) treatment for recovery from HIE. However, its molecular mechanism is not entirely understood. In the present study, we analyzed the mechanisms underlying the effect of combination treatment with EPO and UCB by transcriptomic analysis, followed by gene enrichment analysis. The HIE model of the neonate was prepared and randomly divided into five groups: sham, HIE, and UCB, EPO, and UCB+EPO treatments after HIE. A total of 376 genes were differentially expressed when |log2FC| ≥ 1-fold change expression values were considered to be differentially expressed between UCB+EPO and HIE. Further assessment through qRT-PCR and gene enrichment analysis confirmed the expression and correlation of its potential target Gene N as an essential gene involved in the synergistic effect of the UCB+EPO combination.

Project description:We established a novel mouse model for postnatal erythropoietin (Epo)-deficiency anaemia, designated ISAM (inherited super anemic mouse), using a transgenic complementation rescue technique. To identify Epo-regulated genes in vivo, we examined the mRNA expression profile in the bone marrow of ISAM 6 hours after recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) administration. Erythropoietin-induced gene expression in mouse bone marrow was measured at 6 hours after rHuEPO administration (3,000 U/kg). Three Epo-treated samples were analyzed, and two PBS-treated and one untreated samples were used as a control group.
