Diethylstilbestrol is an estrogenic endocrine disrupter that has diverse health effects in humans. Bisphenol A is another estrogen-like chemical with possible similar effects to diethylstilbestrol, which has been increasingly used for industry to lead to globally widespread human exposure to it. Hematopoiesis is another of their possible targets, since estrogen suppresses erythropoietin induction to induce anemia. The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of diethylstilbestrol and bisphenol A on erythropoietin induction in rats. We observed the effects of one-shot subcutaneous injection of diethylstilbestrol or bisphenol A on hypoxia-, bleeding-, and cobalt-stimulated erythropoietin induction within 24 h and the hematological outcomes after repeated subcutaneous injection of diethylstilbestrol three times a week for 1 month in rats. Diethylstilbestrol at 10-1,000 μg/kg suppressed stimulus-elevated levels of plasma erythropoietin and its renal mRNA induction. In contrast, bisphenol A at 1,000 μg/kg did not suppress plasma erythropoietin elevated by any stimuli. Repeated injection of diethylstilbestrol at 1,000 μg/kg to rats for 1 month induced an anemic trend due to decelerated erythropoiesis through the insufficient production of erythropoietin, mimicking the effects of estradiol. In conclusion, diethylstilbestrol has a suppressive effect on erythropoietin induction, leading to deceleration of erythropoiesis and the development of anemia.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is pivotal in regulating red blood cell (erythrocyte) concentrations and is primarily synthesized in the kidney. Recent research has unveiled a possible link between elevated circulating concentrations of ketone bodies (KB) and circulating EPO concentrations, however, it is not known whether nutritionally induced endogenous ketogenesis can be a stimulus to induce EPO in humans. Therefore, this study aimed to assess whether acute and chronic intake of medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA)-containing triacylglycerol (MCT), which rapidly enhances endogenous circulating KB, would elevate circulating EPO concentrations in humans, as indicated by prior work with exogenous KB administration.

Aims: The term ovarian carcinoma (OC) refers to a heterogeneous collection of five distinct diseases known as histotypes. While histotype-specific treatment is still a clinical challenge in OC, well-characterized models are required for testing new therapeutic strategies. We employed OncoTherad® (MRB-CFI-1), an interferon (IFN-γ)-stimulating nano-immunotherapy mediated by Toll-like receptors (TLR) 2/4, in association or not with Erythropoietin (EPO) in a chemically-induced ovarian cancer model.

Background: Tongue defects have several etiologies and significantly affect the quality of life. This study was conducted to compare the regenerative potential of erythropoietin (EPO)-loaded hydrogel and adipose derived stem cell (ADSC) secretome on tongue dorsum defects focusing on the role of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage phenotype.
Methods: Rats were subjected to induction of mechanical circular defects on the dorsal surface of the tongue, then divided into three groups; Group I (control): received 0.

CREB3L1, a gene encoding the endoplasmic reticulum stress transducer, is specifically overexpressed in platelet RNA from patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). However, the pathophysiological roles of CREB3L1 overexpression remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to study CREB3L1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in the red blood cells (RBCs) of patients with MPN and its role in erythrocytosis.

Introduction: In end stage renal disease )ESRD(, reduced EPO production resulted in decreased oxygen diffusion that cause Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) stabilization. The mechanism of beneficial effects of HS in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the aim of the present study to examine the effects of the HS donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) on renal function parameters, oxidative stress indices and expression levels of HIF-2α gene and erythropoietin protein in 5/6 nephrectomy-induced chronic renal failure in rats.
Methods And Materials: Male rats were assigned into 3 groups (n = 8): Sham, CKD and NaHS groups.
