Abstract

Inactivation of the gene encoding mouse angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), which converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II, results in anemia in adult animals. This anemia is corrected by angiotensin II, demonstrating the involvement of angiotensin II in adult (definitive) erythropoiesis. We investigated the possible role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in primitive erythropoiesis in the yolk sac of the chicken embryo. Enzymatically active ACE was detected in the yolk sac endoderm, concomitantly with the differentiation of blood islands in the adjacent yolk sac mesoderm. The simultaneous presence of all the other components of the RAS (renin, angiotensinogen, angiotensin II receptor) in the vicinity of the blood islands suggests that this system is involved in erythropoiesis. This role was confirmed by in vivo blockade of the RAS with fosinoprilate, a specific inhibitor of chicken ACE, which decreased hematocrit by 15%. A similar decrease in hematocrit was observed following treatment with the angiotensin II receptor antagonist Sar1-Ile8-Angiotensin II, suggesting that this effect was mediated by angiotensin II. Both treatments affected hematocrit by decreasing erythroblast proliferation. Thus, the RAS, and its effec...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.
