Erythropoietin mRNA levels are governed by both the rate of gene transcription and posttranscriptional events

Abstract: The human hepatoma cell line, Hep3B, synthesizes large quantities of erythropoietin (Epo) mRNA and protein in a regulated manner in response to hypoxia and cobaltous chloride (CoCl2). To further understand the regulation of Epo gene expression, we studied the effects of hypoxia and CoCl2 on the rate of Epo gene transcription. While Northern blot analyses showed that steady-state Epo mRNA levels increase more than 50- fold in response to hypoxia or CoCl2, nuclear run-off experiments demonstrated only a 10-fold … Show more

“…The serum of c-mpl -/mice, like that of other thrombocytopenic animals, contains high levels of TPO [13,[33][34][35]. To explain the inverse relationship between platelet count and circulating TPO level, it was tempting to speculate that a sensing mechanism was responsible for detecting lower platelet counts and stimulating TPO transcription in a similar way that EPO transcription is regulated in response to anemia and low oxygen pressure [36][37][38].…”

“…Hypoxic induction of the Epo gene appears to be regulated by both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. (12)(13)(14) Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) was identified as a protein that specifically binds to an enhancer element 3′ to the Epo gene in a hypoxia-regulated fashion. (15,16) HIF-1 is a key regulator of responses to hypoxia, occupying a central position in oxygen homeostasis in a wide range of organisms.…”

“…This systemic adaptation is triggered by oxia. Moreover, aldolase A [12, 13], glycero-3-phosphate dehyinduction of erythropoietin, a hematopoietic hormone, whose drogenase [14], phosphoglycerate kinase [15], non-neural enogene is transcriptionally up-regulated in endothelial cells in the lase [16] and lactate dehydrogenase A [13,17], non-rate-limiting kidney by reduced O2 tension [4,5]. enzymes, are also up-regulated by hypoxia.…”
