Abstract
Erythropoietin (Epo) and Epo-receptor (EpoR) signaling, in addition to its classical role in erythropoiesis, exhibit a protective response in non-hematopoietic tissues. Mice with EpoR expression restricted to only hematopoietic tissues (ΔEpoRE), become obese, have low energy expenditure, and are glucose intolerant and insulin resistant. In the arcuate nucleus of the mouse hypothalamus, EpoR expression co-localizes in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons. In vivo high-dose Epo treatment increases hypothalamus POMC, reduces food intake and fat mass accumulation. Here we report that Epo treatment also decreases plasma concentration of the pituitary derived POMC peptide, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Conversely, ΔEpoRE mice show reduced hypothalamus POMC and high plasma concentrations of ACTH. In the pituitary, POMC is synthesized in the corticotroph cells, and here we examine Epo effect on pituitary POMC expression using the AtT-20 mouse corticotroph pituitary cell line. In AtT-20 cells, enzyme immunoassay analysis showed that Epo inhibits ACTH secretion. This effect is post-translational, as Epo treatment did not affect POMC mRNA expression but increased intracellular levels of ACTH peptide. Moreover, Epo reduced the basal in...Continue Reading
