[Long-term cultures in polycythaemia vera as proof for dependence on erythropoietin (author's transl)]. 1981

E Heilmann, and A Holzknecht, and H Fahrenkrug, and U Essers

In eight patients suffering from polycythaemia vera, the proliferation of erythroid colonies in methylcellulose with and without exogenous erythropoietin was studied. After three and five weeks, respectively, no colonies grew. Due to addition of erythropoietin more erythroid colonies proliferated which could be cultivated over nine weeks. The experiments suggest that the erythropoiesis in polycythaemia vera depends on erythropoietin.

D011087 Polycythemia Vera A myeloproliferative disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by abnormal proliferation of all hematopoietic bone marrow elements and an absolute increase in red cell mass and total blood volume, associated frequently with splenomegaly, leukocytosis, and thrombocythemia. Hematopoiesis is also reactive in extramedullary sites (liver and spleen). In time myelofibrosis occurs.

D004920 Erythropoiesis The production of red blood cells (ERYTHROCYTES). In humans, erythrocytes are produced by the YOLK SAC in the first trimester; by the liver in the second trimester; by the BONE MARROW in the third trimester and after birth. In normal individuals, the erythrocyte count in the peripheral blood remains relatively constant implying a balance between the rate of erythrocyte production and rate of destruction. Erythropoieses
D004921 Erythropoietin Glycoprotein hormone, secreted chiefly by the KIDNEY in the adult and the LIVER in the FETUS, that acts on erythroid stem cells of the BONE MARROW to stimulate proliferation and differentiation.
