Low levels of EPO (around 10 mU/mL) are constantly secreted sufficient to compensate for normal red blood cell turnover. Common causes of cellular hypoxia resulting in elevated levels of EPO (up to 10 000 mU/mL) include any [[anemia]], and [[hypoxemia]] due to chronic lung disease.

Erythropoietin is produced by interstitial [[fibroblast]]s in the kidney in close association with the [[peritubular capillary]] and [[proximal convoluted tubule]].  It is also produced in [[Perisinusoidal space|perisinusoidal]] cells in the [[liver]]. Liver production predominates in the fetal and perinatal period; renal production  predominates in adulthood.

* In controlled trials, patients experienced greater risks for death, serious adverse cardiovascular reactions, and stroke when administered erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) to target a hemoglobin level of greater than 11 g/dL.
[[Exogeny|Exogenous]] erythropoietin, '''recombinant human erythropoietin''' (rhEPO) is produced by [[recombinant DNA technology]] in [[cell culture]] and are collectively called [[erythropoiesis-stimulating agent]]s (ESA): two examples are [[epoetin alfa]] and [[epoetin beta]]. ESAs are used in the treatment of [[anemia]] in [[chronic kidney disease]], anemia in [[myelodysplasia]], and in anemia from [[cancer]] [[chemotherapy]]. Risks of therapy include death, [[myocardial infarction]], [[stroke]], [[venous thromboembolism]], and tumor recurrence.  Risk increases when EPO treatment raises hemoglobin levels over 11&nbsp;g/dL to 12&nbsp;g/dL: this is to be avoided.
*No trial has identified a hemoglobin target level, ESA dose, or dosing strategy that does not increase these risks.
*Use the lowest PROCRIT dose sufficient to reduce the need for red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.

<i><span style="color:#FF0000;">Cancer:</span></i>
==Pharmacology==
EPO is highly [[glycosylation|glycosylated]] (40% of total molecular weight), with half-life in blood around 5&nbsp;h. EPO's half-life may vary between endogenous and various recombinant versions. Additional glycosylation or other alterations of EPO via recombinant technology have led to the increase of EPO's stability in blood (thus requiring less frequent injections).
== Function ==


*ESAs shortened overall survival and/or increased the risk of tumor progression or recurrence in clinical studies of patients with breast, non-small cell lung, head and neck, lymphoid, and cervical cancers.
=== Red blood cell production ===
*Because of these risks, prescribers and hospitals must enroll in and comply with the ESA APPRISE Oncology Program to prescribe and/or dispense PROCRIT to patients with cancer. To enroll in the ESA APPRISE Oncology Program, visit www.esa-apprise.com or call 1-866-284-8089 for further assistance.
Erythropoietin is an essential hormone for red blood cell production. Without it, definitive [[erythropoiesis]] does not take place. Under [[hypoxia (medical)|hypoxic]] conditions, the kidney will produce and secrete erythropoietin to increase the production of red blood cells by targeting [[CFU-E]], pro[[erythroblast]] and basophilic erythroblast subsets in the differentiation. Erythropoietin has its primary effect on red blood cell progenitors and precursors (which are found in the bone marrow in humans) by promoting their survival through protecting these cells from [[apoptosis]], or cell death.
*To decrease these risks, as well as the risk of serious cardiovascular and thromboembolic reactions, use the lowest dose needed to avoid RBC transfusions.
*Use ESAs only for anemia from myelosuppressive chemotherapy.
*ESAs are not indicated for patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy when the anticipated outcome is cure.
*Discontinue following the completion of a chemotherapy course.


<i><span style="color:#FF0000;">Perisurgery:</span></i>
Erythropoietin is the primary erythropoietic factor that cooperates with various other growth factors (e.g., [[interleukin 3|IL-3]], [[Interleukin 6|IL-6]], [[glucocorticoid]]s, and [[stem cell factor|SCF]]) involved in the development of [[erythroid]] lineage from [[stem cell|multipotent progenitors]]. The burst-forming unit-erythroid ([[BFU-E]]) cells start [[erythropoietin receptor]] expression and are sensitive to erythropoietin. Subsequent stage, the colony-forming unit-erythroid ([[CFU-E]]), expresses maximal erythropoietin receptor density and is completely dependent on erythropoietin for further differentiation. Precursors of red cells, the proerythroblasts and basophilic erythroblasts also express erythropoietin receptor and are therefore affected by it.


*Due to increased risk of Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT), DVT prophylaxis is recommended.
=== Nonhematopoietic roles ===
Erythropoietin was reported to have a range of actions beyond stimulation of erythropoiesis including [[vasoconstriction]]-dependent [[hypertension]], stimulating [[angiogenesis]], and promoting cell survival via activation of EPO receptors resulting in anti-apoptotic effects on ischemic tissues. However this proposal is controversial with numerous studies showing no effect.<ref name="pmid22848149">{{cite journal | vauthors = Elliott S, Sinclair AM | title = The effect of erythropoietin on normal and neoplastic cells | journal = Biologics | volume = 6 | issue =  | pages = 163–89 | year = 2012 | pmid = 22848149 | pmc = 3402043 | doi = 10.2147/BTT.S32281 }}</ref> It is also inconsistent with the low levels of EPO receptors on those cells. Clinical trials in humans with ischemic heart, neural and renal tissues have not demonstrated the same benefits seen in animals. In addition some research studies have shown its neuroprotective effect on diabetic neuropathy, however these data were not confirmed in clinical trials that have been conducted on the deep peroneal, superficial peroneal, tibial and sural nerves.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Hosseini-Zare MS, Dashti-Khavidaki S, Mahdavi-Mazdeh M, Ahmadi F, Akrami S | title = Peripheral neuropathy response to erythropoietin in type 2 diabetic patients with mild to moderate renal failure | journal = Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery | volume = 114 | issue = 6 | pages = 663–7 | date = July 2012 | pmid = 22296650 | doi = 10.1016/j.clineuro.2012.01.007 }}</ref>


<!--Adult Indications and Dosage-->
== Mechanism of action ==
Erythropoietin has been shown to exert its effects by [[protein-protein interaction|binding]] to the [[erythropoietin receptor]] (EpoR).<ref name="pmid10318834">{{cite journal | vauthors = Middleton SA, Barbone FP, Johnson DL, Thurmond RL, You Y, McMahon FJ, Jin R, Livnah O, Tullai J, Farrell FX, Goldsmith MA, Wilson IA, Jolliffe LK | title = Shared and unique determinants of the erythropoietin (EPO) receptor are important for binding EPO and EPO mimetic peptide | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 274 | issue = 20 | pages = 14163–9 | date = May 1999 | pmid = 10318834 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.274.20.14163 }}</ref><ref name="pmid9808045">{{cite journal | vauthors = Livnah O, Johnson DL, Stura EA, Farrell FX, Barbone FP, You Y, Liu KD, Goldsmith MA, He W, Krause CD, Pestka S, Jolliffe LK, Wilson IA | title = An antagonist peptide-EPO receptor complex suggests that receptor dimerization is not sufficient for activation | journal = Nature Structural Biology | volume = 5 | issue = 11 | pages = 993–1004 | date = November 1998 | pmid = 9808045 | doi = 10.1038/2965 }}</ref> EPO binds to the erythropoietin receptor on the red cell progenitor surface and activates a [[janus kinase 2|JAK2]] signalling cascade.

This results in differentiation, survival and proliferation of the erythroid cell.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/?id=orVuGH_nrSMC&pg=PP1|title=The Cytokine Handbook, Two-Volume Set|last=Thomson|first=Angus W.|last2=Lotze|first2=Michael T.|date=2003-04-22|publisher=Gulf Professional Publishing|isbn=9780080518794|language=en}}</ref> SOCS1, SOCS3 and CIS are also expressed which act as negative regulators of the cytokine signal.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Hodges VM, Rainey S, Lappin TR, Maxwell AP | title = Pathophysiology of anemia and erythrocytosis | journal = Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology | volume = 64 | issue = 2 | pages = 139–58 | date = November 2007 | pmid = 17656101 | doi = 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2007.06.006 }}</ref> High level erythropoietin receptor expression is localized to erythroid progenitor cells. While there are reports that EPO receptors are found in a number of other tissues, such as heart, muscle, kidney and peripheral/central nervous tissue, those results are confounded by nonspecificity of reagents such as anti-EpoR antibodies. In controlled experiments, EPO receptor is not detected in those tissues. In the bloodstream, red cells themselves do not express erythropoietin receptor, so cannot respond to EPO. However, indirect dependence of red cell longevity in the blood on plasma erythropoietin levels has been reported, a process termed neocytolysis.{{citation needed|date=April 2016}}

== History ==
In 1905, [[Paul Carnot]] proposed the idea that a hormone regulates the production of red blood cells. After conducting experiments on rabbits subject to [[bloodletting]], Carnot and his graduate student [[Clotilde-Camille Deflandre]] <ref>{{cite journal|last1=Carnot|first1=P|last2=Deflandre|first2=Cl|title=Sur l'activite hematopoietique du serum au cours de la regeneration du sang|journal=Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci.|date=1906|volume=143|pages=384–386}}</ref> attributed an increase in red blood cells in rabbit subjects to a hemotropic factor called hemopoietin. Eva Bonsdorff and Eeva Jalavisto called the hemopoietic substance 'erythropoietin'. K.R. Reissman and Allan J. Erslev  demonstrated that a certain substance, circulated in the blood, is able to stimulate red blood cell production and increase [[hematocrit]]. This substance was purified and confirmed as erythropoietin.<ref name="pmid17253966" /><ref>{{cite book |first=Ahmet |last=Höke |name-list-format=vanc |title=Erythropoietin and the Nervous System  |publisher=Springer |location=Berlin |year=2005 |pages= |isbn=978-0-387-30010-8 |oclc=64571745 }}{{page needed|date=April 2016}}</ref>

Erythropoietin (/ɪˌrɪθrˈpɔɪ.ɪtɪn, -rə-, -pɔɪˈɛtɪn, -ˈtɪn/;[1][2][3] EPO), also known as hematopoietin or hemopoietin, is a glycoprotein cytokine secreted by the kidney in response to cellular hypoxia; it stimulates red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in the bone marrow. Low levels of EPO (around 10 mU/mL) are constantly secreted sufficient to compensate for normal red blood cell turnover. Common causes of cellular hypoxia resulting in elevated levels of EPO (up to 10 000 mU/mL) include any anemia, and hypoxemia due to chronic lung disease.

Erythropoietin is produced by interstitial fibroblasts in the kidney in close association with the peritubular capillary and proximal convoluted tubule. It is also produced in perisinusoidal cells in the liver. Liver production predominates in the fetal and perinatal period; renal production predominates in adulthood.

Exogenous erythropoietin, recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) is produced by recombinant DNA technology in cell culture and are collectively called erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA): two examples are epoetin alfa and epoetin beta. ESAs are used in the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease, anemia in myelodysplasia, and in anemia from cancer chemotherapy. Risks of therapy include death, myocardial infarction, stroke, venous thromboembolism, and tumor recurrence. Risk increases when EPO treatment raises hemoglobin levels over 11 g/dL to 12 g/dL: this is to be avoided.

rhEPO has been used illicitly as a performance-enhancing drug.[4] It can often be detected in blood, due to slight differences from the endogenous protein; for example, in features of posttranslational modification.

Pharmacology

EPO is highly glycosylated (40% of total molecular weight), with half-life in blood around 5 h. EPO's half-life may vary between endogenous and various recombinant versions. Additional glycosylation or other alterations of EPO via recombinant technology have led to the increase of EPO's stability in blood (thus requiring less frequent injections).

Function

Red blood cell production

Erythropoietin is an essential hormone for red blood cell production. Without it, definitive erythropoiesis does not take place. Under hypoxic conditions, the kidney will produce and secrete erythropoietin to increase the production of red blood cells by targeting CFU-E, proerythroblast and basophilic erythroblast subsets in the differentiation. Erythropoietin has its primary effect on red blood cell progenitors and precursors (which are found in the bone marrow in humans) by promoting their survival through protecting these cells from apoptosis, or cell death.

Erythropoietin is the primary erythropoietic factor that cooperates with various other growth factors (e.g., IL-3, IL-6, glucocorticoids, and SCF) involved in the development of erythroid lineage from multipotent progenitors. The burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) cells start erythropoietin receptor expression and are sensitive to erythropoietin. Subsequent stage, the colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E), expresses maximal erythropoietin receptor density and is completely dependent on erythropoietin for further differentiation. Precursors of red cells, the proerythroblasts and basophilic erythroblasts also express erythropoietin receptor and are therefore affected by it.

Nonhematopoietic roles

Erythropoietin was reported to have a range of actions beyond stimulation of erythropoiesis including vasoconstriction-dependent hypertension, stimulating angiogenesis, and promoting cell survival via activation of EPO receptors resulting in anti-apoptotic effects on ischemic tissues. However this proposal is controversial with numerous studies showing no effect.[5] It is also inconsistent with the low levels of EPO receptors on those cells. Clinical trials in humans with ischemic heart, neural and renal tissues have not demonstrated the same benefits seen in animals. In addition some research studies have shown its neuroprotective effect on diabetic neuropathy, however these data were not confirmed in clinical trials that have been conducted on the deep peroneal, superficial peroneal, tibial and sural nerves.[6]

Mechanism of action

Erythropoietin has been shown to exert its effects by binding to the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR).[7][8] EPO binds to the erythropoietin receptor on the red cell progenitor surface and activates a JAK2 signalling cascade. This initiates the STAT5, PIK3 and Ras MAPK pathways. This results in differentiation, survival and proliferation of the erythroid cell.[9] SOCS1, SOCS3 and CIS are also expressed which act as negative regulators of the cytokine signal.[10] High level erythropoietin receptor expression is localized to erythroid progenitor cells. While there are reports that EPO receptors are found in a number of other tissues, such as heart, muscle, kidney and peripheral/central nervous tissue, those results are confounded by nonspecificity of reagents such as anti-EpoR antibodies. In controlled experiments, EPO receptor is not detected in those tissues. In the bloodstream, red cells themselves do not express erythropoietin receptor, so cannot respond to EPO. However, indirect dependence of red cell longevity in the blood on plasma erythropoietin levels has been reported, a process termed neocytolysis.[citation needed]

Synthesis and regulation

Erythropoietin levels in blood are quite low in the absence of anemia, at around 10 mU/mL. However, in hypoxic stress, EPO production may increase up to 1000-fold, reaching 10 000 mU/mL of blood. In adults, EPO is synthesized mainly by interstitial cells in the peritubular capillary bed of the renal cortex, with additional amounts being produced in the liver,[11][12][13] and the pericytes in the brain.[14] Regulation is believed to rely on a feedback mechanism measuring blood oxygenation and iron availability.[15] Constitutively synthesized transcription factors for EPO, known as hypoxia-inducible factors, are hydroxylated and proteosomally digested in the presence of oxygen and iron. During normoxia GATA2 inhibits the promoter region for EPO. GATA2 levels decrease during hypoxia and allow the promotion of EPO production.[16]

Medical uses

Erythropoietins available for use as therapeutic agents are produced by recombinant DNA technology in cell culture, and include Epogen/Procrit (epoetin alfa) and Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa); they are used in treating anemia resulting from chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy induced anemia in patients with cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis)[17] and myelodysplasia from the treatment of cancer (chemotherapy and radiation). The package inserts include boxed warnings of increased risk of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, venous thromboembolism, and tumor recurrence, particularly when used to increase the hemoglobin levels to more than 11 g/dL to 12 g/dL.[18]

History

In 1905, Paul Carnot proposed the idea that a hormone regulates the production of red blood cells. After conducting experiments on rabbits subject to bloodletting, Carnot and his graduate student Clotilde-Camille Deflandre [19] attributed an increase in red blood cells in rabbit subjects to a hemotropic factor called hemopoietin. Eva Bonsdorff and Eeva Jalavisto called the hemopoietic substance 'erythropoietin'. K.R. Reissman and Allan J. Erslev demonstrated that a certain substance, circulated in the blood, is able to stimulate red blood cell production and increase hematocrit. This substance was purified and confirmed as erythropoietin.[15][20]

In 1977, Goldwasser and Kung purified EPO.[21] Pure EPO allowed the amino acid sequence to be partially identified and the gene to be isolated.[15] Synthetic EPO was first successfully used to correct anemia in 1987.[22] In 1985, Lin et al isolated the human erythropoietin gene from a genomic phage library and used it to produce EPO.[23] In 1989, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the hormone Epogen for use in certain anemias.[24]

Usage as doping product

EPO has been banned since the early 1990s, but a first test was not available until the 2000 Summer Olympics.[25] Before this test was available, no athletes were sanctioned after positive tests, but it happened that they were sanctioned after confessing to having used EPO, for example in the Festina affair, when a car with doping products for the Festina cycling team was found.

The first doping test in cycling was used in the 2001 La Flèche Wallonne. The first rider to test positive in that race was Bo Hamburger, although he was later acquitted because his B-sample was not conclusive.[26]

A 2007 study showed that EPO has a significant effect on exercise performance,[27][4] but a 2017 study showed that the effects of EPO administered to amateur cyclists was not distinguishable from a placebo.[28]
