To increase erythropoiesis in an attempt to maintain oxygen delivery to vital organs.
What is Erythropoietin (EPO)?
Mechanism of Action
 Binds to the erythropoietin receptor: a 72
78 kDa glycosylated and phosphorylated
transmembrane polypeptide.
 Member of the superfamily of cytokine
receptors.
 Binding results in homodimerisation of the
receptor, followed by activation of several
signal transduction pathways.
Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Structural
and Biological Characteristics
Chromosome7q11-22
Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Structural
and Biological Characteristics
Chromosome7q11-22
History of Development
1906 - Carnot and Deflandre
Suggested a humoral factor haemopoietine to control RBC production
Carnot and Deflandre . Comptes Rendu Acad辿mie Science Paris. 1906;143:384386.
Donor
Blood
Anemic
20%-40%
History of Development
 1950  Erslev- Provided definite evidence for the existence of EPO
and predicted the therapeutic potential of EPO if purified.
 1954  Hodgson and Toha- First to demonstrate EPO activity in
urine.
 1957  Jacobson et al- First to support EPO production of renal
origin.
 1961  Kuratowsha et al- Confirmed kidney as a source of EPO
production.
 1968  Katz et al -Confirmed liver as another source of EPO
production.
History of Development
 1977- Miyake et al were the first to isolate and purify EPO
from urine in patients with aplastic anaemia.
Miyake T, Kung CK, Goldwasser EJ. Biol Chem. 1977, 252(15):5558-64.

analysis of the most active fraction from each step
in the purification of human erythropoitien.
Ion exchange chromatography
Ethanol precipitation
Gel filtration
Adsorption chromatography
History of Development
 1985-Jacob et al and Lin et al cloned the human
erythropoietin gene and express this gene in mammalian
cell.
IMPORTANT: Paved the way for industrial manufacturing of
recombinant EPO allowing sufficient quantity of EPO for clinical use
Jacob et al. Nature.1985 Feb 28-Mar 6;313(6005):806-10. Lin et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1985 Nov;82(22):7580-4.

humanEpo gene. ExonsI-V
are indicated by boxes. The
solid boxes denote the
regions of the exons that are
translated.
History of Development
 1989- FDA approves recombinant EPO for use in chronic renal
patients on dialysis
Clinical Applications
Replacement therapy (low endogenous
erythropoietin level) in anemia associated with:
 Chronic renal failure
 Malignancy
 Prematurity
 HIV infection
Clinical Applications
Supportive therapy to maintain/accelerate
erythropoiesis in:
 Post-chemotherapy/post-radiotherapy
 Post-bone marrow/stem cell transplantation
Clinical Applications
Augmentative therapy to increase haemoglobin
above physiological level in:
 Surgery
 Sports
Current work
Thank You

  • #4: The human body generates 2.5 million new red blood cells (RBCs) per second from the bone marrow to replenish the continuous removal of effete RBCs. The production of RBCs (erythropoiesis) is controlled by an intricate interaction between various humoral factors and cytokines.A specific cytokine, a sialoglycoprotein known as erythropoietin,which acts directly on certain RBC progenitors and precursors in the bone marrow, controls the proliferation, differentiation, and maturation of RBCs.
