The ongoing search for new prognostic factors include Bcl2, Bax, Cox-2 or HIF1- alpha, which plays a key role in phenomenon of tumor hypoxia and might induce transcription of the EPO gene. Erythropoietin may influence lymph node metastasis or stimulate tumor progression, thus it seemed interesting to determine its expression in invasive breast cancers with lymph node metastases presenting different basic immunohistochemical profiles (ER, PR, HER2). Aim: To evaluate the relationship between histological grade, tumor size, lymph node status, expression of ER, PR, HER2 and immunohistochemical expression of erythropoietin in invasive breast cancer with metastasis to lymph nodes.

  • As a Key Regulator of Erythropoiesis, Bone Remodeling and Endothelial
    cells Review Erythropoietin (EPO) as a Key Regulator of Erythropoiesis, Bone Remodeling and Endothelial Transdifferentiation of Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs): Implications in Regenerative Medicine Asterios S. Tsiftsoglou Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: Human erythropoietin (EPO) is an N-linked glycoprotein consisting of 166 aa that is pro- duced in the kidney during the adult life and acts both as a peptide hormone and hematopoietic growth factor (HGF), stimulating bone marrow erythropoiesis. EPO production is activated by hypoxia and is regulated via an oxygen-sensitive feedback loop. EPO acts via its homodimeric erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) that increases cell survival and drives the terminal erythroid mat- uration of progenitors BFU-Es and CFU-Es to billions of mature RBCs. This pathway involves the activation of multiple erythroid transcription factors, such as GATA1, FOG1, TAL-1, EKLF and BCL11A, and leads to the overexpression of genes encoding enzymes involved in heme biosynthesis Citation: Tsiftsoglou, A.S. and the production of hemoglobin.

The correlation between Epo/EpoR expression and VM formation was analyzed using two-tailed Chi-square test and Spearman correlation analysis. Survival curves were generated using Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox regression model to assess the prognostic values. Results showed positive correlation between Epo/EpoR expression and VM formation (P < 0.05). Patients with Epo or EpoR expres- sion exhibited poorer overall survival (OS) than Epo-negative or EpoR-negative patients (P < 0.05). Epo-positive/VM- positive and EpoR-positive/VM-positive patients had the worst OS (P < 0.05). In multivariate survival analysis, age, Epo and EpoR were independent prognostic factors related to OS.

  • Red Blood Cell Microrheological Effects of Some Antitumor Chemotherapy Drugs: in Vitro Study
    Journal of Cellular Biotechnology 1 (2015/2016) 151–158 151 DOI 10.3233/JCB-15015 IOS Press Red blood cell microrheological effects of some antitumor chemotherapy drugs: In vitro study A.V. Muravyova,∗, I.A. Tikhomirovaa, N.V. Kislovb and A.S. Petrochenkoa aState Pedagogical University, Yaroslavl, Russia bRegional Oncological Hospital, Yaroslavl, Russia Abstract. In consequence of limitation of capillary dilatation reserve the role of erythrocyte membrane elasticity and their microrheological properties is very important for the tissue perfusion. The drugs that enter blood flow could be as signaling molecules and their action can lead to alteration of red blood cell aggregation and whole cell deformability. Therefore the subject of this study was to estimate the effect of some antitumor chemotherapy drugs on red blood cell aggregation (RBCA) and deformability (RBCD). It was found that an exposure of red blood cells (RBCs) to cisplatin and epoetin alfa led to significant positive changes in the RBC microrheological properties. It was shown that cisplatin could activate tyrosine protein kinase (TPK). Preincubation of RBCs with the inhibitor of EGF-R and Src kinase lavendustin A was accompanied by a significant decrease of the cisplatin effect. It was found RBC aggregation rise after cell incubation with 5-fluorouracil. This effect was removed with Ca2+ chelation with EGTA and also with pentoxifylline. The drug for the targeted antitumor therapy sunitinib raised RBCA markedly. Whereas RBC deformability index was altered only slightly. The combination of two chemicals: sunitinib and cisplatin led to an elimination of proaggregative effect of sunitinib. Examination of the effects of some antitumor drugs on red blood cell microrheological properties has enabled us to suggest that the observed changes in red cell aggregation and deformability may be partly related to the effects of tyrosine protein kinase activation.

To explore the functional significance of this region and to identify critical residues, we introduced several amino acid substitutions and examined their effects on erythropoietin-induced mitogenesis, tyrosine phosphorylation, and expression of immediate-early (c-fos, c-myc, and egr-1) and early (ornithine decarboxylase and T-cell receptor 'y) genes in interleukin-3-dependent cell lines. Amino acid substitution of W-282, which is strictly conserved at the middle portion of the homology region, completely abolished all the functions of the EpoR. Point mutation at L-306 or E-307, both of which are in a conserved LEVL motif, drastically impaired the function of the receptor in all assays. Other point mutations, introduced into less conserved amino acid residues, did not significantly impair the function of the receptor. These results demonstrate that conserved amino acid residues in this domain of the EpoR are required for mitogenesis, stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation, and induction of immediate-early and early genes.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone that induces red blood cell production. In its recombinant form, EPO is the one of most prescribed drugs to treat anemia, including that arising in cancer patients. In randomized trials, EPO administration to cancer patients has been associated with decreased survival. Here, we investi- gated the impact of EPO modulation on tumorigenesis. Using genetically engineered mouse models of breast cancer, we found that EPO promoted tumorigenesis by activating JAK/STAT signaling in breast tumor-initi- ating cells (TICs) and promoted TIC self renewal.

Background: The possible angiogenic effect of functions of EPO, angiogenesis, the process through which recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) and several new blood vessels arise from preexisting ones, has been possibly angiogenic cytokines such as basic fibroblast growth indicated (5). The potential role of EPO in angiogenesis may factor (bFGF), acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) and be considered as a subset of its possible function in improving vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was investigated overall tissue oxygenation and its antiapoptotic role (5). in mouse heart. Materials and Methods: Mice were divided Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) induces a into five groups (n=7/group): A, control; B, rHuEpo-treated; proangiogenic phenotype in human endothelial cells, including C, (aFGF-treated); D, (VEGF-treated); E, (bFGF-treated). both early ( i.e. increase in cell proliferation and matrix The antibody mouse anti-human CD31 was used to evaluate metalloproteinase-2 production) and late (differentiation into the vessels present in histological preparations. Results: The vascular tubes) angiogenic events. In vivo , in the chick embryo results show a significant increase of the vessel number per CAM assay, the angiogenic activity of rHuEPO was similar to optical field in the rHuEpo-treated, the bFGF-treated and that exerted by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a well- the VEGF-treated animals compared to controls whereas known angiogenic cytokine and endothelial cells of the CAM aFGF did not show a ny significant angiogenic activity.
