Abstract

Although erythropoietin (Epo) is essential for the production of mature red blood cells, the cooperation with other factors is required for a proper balance between progenitor proliferation and differentiation. In avian erythroid progenitors, steroid hormones cooperate with tyrosine kinase receptors to induce renewal of erythroid progenitors. We examined the role of corticosteroids in the in vitro expansion of primary human erythroid cells in liquid cultures and colony assays. Dexamethasone (Dex), a synthetic glucocorticoid hormone, cooperated with Epo and stem cell factor to induce erythroid progenitors to undergo 15 to 22 cell divisions, corresponding to a 105- to 106-fold amplification of erythroid cells. Dex acted directly on erythroid progenitors and maintained the colony-forming capacity of the progenitor cells expanded in liquid cultures. The hormone delayed terminal differentiation into erythrocytes, which was assayed by morphology, hemoglobin accumulation, and the expression of genes characteristic for immature cells. Sustained proliferation of erythroid progenitors could be induced equally well from purified erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E), from CD34+ blast cells, and from bone marrow depleted from CD34+ cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
