Abstract

In this study we evaluated the in vivo effects of interleukin-11 (IL-11) and stem cell factor (SCF), in combination with erythropoietin (EPO) on murine erythropoiesis. Mice were treated for 7 d with IL-11. SCF and EPO, each at three dose levels. In total, 27 different dose combinations were tested. IL-11 as well as SCF could only marginally stimulate erythroid progenitor cell numbers, but IL-11 in combination with SCF was able to increase BFU-E and CFU-E numbers 4-fold, in the absence of exogenous EPO. This resulted in an increased reticulocyte count. In contrast with the stimulatory effect on immature erythroid cell stages, IL-11 treatment induced a mild anaemia, which probably resulted from a plasma volume expansion. The additional treatment with EPO resulted in strong synergistic effects on CFU-E numbers. The combination of high-dose IL-11 and high-dose SCF was able to increase the overall efficiency of EPO-induced erythroid amplification, which was reflected by a left-shift of the in vivo EPO dose-response curve. The stimulating effects of IL-11 and SCF were further demonstrated when the effects on the reticulocyte count of a single high-dose EPO injection were assessed in normal and SCF+IL-11 treated mice. Whereas a single...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
