A regulatory role for adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) in the production of the renal hormone rythropoietin following erythropoietic stimulation with cobaltous chloride hexahydrate is proposed. Studies in rates reveal a temporal relationship between renal cyclic AMP levels and plasma titers of erythropoietin. In addition, cobalt increases the activity of an erythropoietin-generating enzyme (renal erythropoietic factor) with maximal enzyme activity occurring after the rise in cyclic AMP levels but before the increase in erythropoietin titers. This increase in renal cyclic AMP is localized to the renal cortex. Cobalt stimulates renal cortical adenylate cyclase but has no effect on renal cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. The addition of cyclic AMP (3 time 10-6 M) and a partially purified cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from rat kidney to an inactive preparation of renal erythropoietic factor increases the ability of renal erythropoietic factor to generate erythropoietin. Data from the polycythemic mouse assay, a bioassay used to quantitate erythropoietic activity of test substances, indicate that dibutyryl cyclic AMP is erythropoietically active with respect to its ability to increase radioactive-labelled iron (59Fe) incorporation into heme of newly formed red blood cells. Theophylline, which by itself is erythropoietically inactive, potentiated the erythropoietic effect of cobalt in polycythemic mice. These results suggest that cyclic AMP plays a significant role in the renal production of erythropoietin following cobalt administration. It is postulated that cobalt stimulates renal cortical adenyoate cyclase, thus increasing renal cyclic AMP levels. Cyclic AMP then activates a protein kinase which subsequently stimulates renal erythropoietic factor to generate erythropoietin. A similar cyclic AMP mechanism may be operative after erythropoietic stimulation by exposure to hypoxia or prostaglandin treatment.

Renal erythropoietic factor (REF) serves as a substrate for a cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinase. The phosphorylation of REF is associated with increased erythropoietic activity. Conversely, REF isolated from hypoxic rats is a poor phosphate acceptor. These findings and the presence of a positive correlation between erythropoietin levels and urinary excretion of adenosine 3',5' monophosphate (cyclic-AMP) in anemic individuals suggest that the cyclic-AMP-protein kinase system plays an important role in the activation of REF.

The cytoplasmic domain of the cloned erythropoietin (EPO) receptor (EPOR) contains no protein kinase motif, yet addition of EPO to EPO-responsive cells causes an increase in protein-tyrosine phosphorylation. Here we show that addition of EPO or interleukin-3 (IL-3) to an IL-3-dependent cell line expressing the wild-type EPOR causes a small fraction (less than 5%) of total cellular EPOR to shift in gel mobility from 66 to 72 kDa, due at least in part to phosphorylation. Using biotinylated EPO as an affinity reagent, we show that the 72-kDa species is greatly enriched on the cell surface. To demonstrate that a protein kinase activity associates with cell surface EPOR, cells were incubated with biotinylated EPO and then cross-linked with a thiol-cleavable chemical cross-linker. The avidin-agarose-selected complexes were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP. After in vitro phosphorylation and denaturation without reducing agent, both antiphosphotyrosine and anti-EPOR antibodies immunoprecipitated labeled 72-kDa EPOR and an unidentified 130-kDa phosphoprotein (pp130), indicating that a protein kinase is associated with cell surface EPOR and that a fraction of the EPOR was phosphorylated on tyrosine residues either in the cells or during the cell-free phosphorylation reaction. Under reducing conditions, the 72-kDa phosphorylated EPOR but not pp130 was immunoprecipitated with an anti-EPOR antibody, suggesting that the pp130 is bound to the EPOR by the thiol-cleavable chemical cross-linker. Previously, we showed that deletion of the 42 carboxy-terminal amino acids of the EPOR allows cells to grow in 1/10 the normal EPO concentration, without affecting receptor number or affinity. Two carboxy-terminal truncated EPO receptors that are hyperresponsive to EPO were poorly phosphorylated during the in vitro reaction, suggesting that the carboxy-terminal region of the EPOR contains a site for phosphorylation or a site for interaction with a protein kinase. Our data suggests that phosphorylation or interaction with a protein kinase in the carboxy-terminal region may down-modulate the proliferative action of the EPOR.

We have examined the signal transduction mechanism of the hematopoietic growth factor erythropoietin (Epo). Epo stimulation of Ba/F3 cells transfected with the Epo receptor resulted in increases in tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins of 97, 75, and 55 kDa. Epo-induced increases in tyrosine phosphorylation of a 97-kDa protein were also detected within the Epo receptor complex, suggesting that a protein tyrosine kinase is associated with the Epo receptor. Protein tyrosine kinase activity was found within the Epo receptor complex and modulation of this activity was observed after treatment of cells with Epo. Furthermore, constitutively high amounts of protein kinase activity were observed in Epo receptor complexes isolated from autonomously growing cells coexpressing the Epo receptor and the leukemogenic glycoprotein gp55. The dominant phosphotyrosylprotein found associated with the Epo receptor was 97 kDa. An Epo receptor-associated protein of identical molecular mass was also found to bind ATP, a characteristic critical for protein kinases. Collectively, these data demonstrate that the Epo receptor is associated with protein tyrosine kinase activity and further suggest that a 97-kDa phosphotyrosylprotein associated with the Epo receptor is a protein tyrosine kinase involved in Epo-mediated signal transduction.

The proto-oncogene c-myc has been identified as an early response gene for erythropoietin (Epo) in transformed murine erythroleukemia cells. Epo activation of c-myc in these cells requires protein kinase C. We now show the fidelity of this signaling pathway in normal erythroid cells isolated from the spleens of phenylhydrazine-treated mice. Mouse spleen cells rich in erythroid progenitors were washed free of endogenous Epo and then incubated in the absence of Epo. Subsequent addition of Epo for 1 hour led to a dramatic elevation of c-myc transcript. Addition of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide did not prevent the c-myc response, thus identifying c-myc as an Epo early response gene in normal cells. We used this c-myc response as a reporter for signals initiated by the Epo receptor. Using a series of inhibitors with known specificities and established rank-orders of potency for different kinases, we determined that the c-myc response to Epo was blocked with the following rank order: staurosporine much greater than H7 greater than sangivamycin greater than H8. This sequence is identical to that obtained using transformed cells and is diagnostic of a protein kinase C-dependent signal. Because direct activation of protein kinase by phorbol esters does not induce terminal differentiation of normal cells, the pathway to c-myc established by these studies must represent one part of a signal transduction mechanism.

Erythropoietin mediates the rapid phosphorylation of Raf-1 in the murine cell lines HCD-57 and FDC-P1/ER, which proliferate in response to this cytokine. Phosphorylation occurs at both serine and tyrosine residues and as such is similar to the Raf-1 phosphorylation seen after interleukin-3 (IL-3), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and interleukin-2 stimulation in other murine cell lines. Such data suggest that these growth factors may share a common mechanism(s) of Raf-1 phosphorylation. Furthermore, in association with Raf-1 phosphorylation, erythropoietin induces a 2-3-fold increase in Raf-1 kinase activity as measured in immune complex kinase assays in vitro. Finally, a c-raf antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotide, which specifically decreases intracellular Raf-1 levels, also substantially inhibits both erythropoietin and IL-3-directed DNA synthesis. Together, these results provide evidence that activated Raf-1 is a necessary component of erythropoietin and IL-3 growth signaling pathways.

A model for the regulation of erythropoietin production has been presented. This model proposes that a primary O2-sensing reaction in the kidney is initiated by a decrease in ambient PO2, a rapid decrease in gas exchange in the lung, a diminished oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin, a molecular deprivation of oxygen, or a decrease in renal blood flow. It is proposed that the primary oxygen-sensing reaction may trigger the release of several mediators that stimulate adenylate cyclase through a receptor-activated stimulation of a G protein in the renal cell membrane. Some of the agents that are thought to be released during hypoxia, which may trigger this cascade, are adenosine (A2 activation), eicosanoids (PGE2, PGI2, and 6-keto PGE1), oxygen-free radicals (superoxide and H2O2), and catecholamines with beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist properties. The activation of adenylate cyclase generates cyclic AMP, which activates protein kinase A, leading to the production of a phosphoprotein that, in turn, activates a nuclear protein involved in transcription and/or translation for erythropoietin biosynthesis and/or secretion. A second part of this model concerns the effect of hypoxia on a renal cell membrane phosphodiesterase and the generation of inositol triphosphate and diacylglycerol. Diacylglycerol may interact with diacylglycerol lipase to generate arachidonic acid, which, together with arachidonic acid generated by the interaction of phospholipase A2 on membrane phospholipids, produces eicosanoids. Eicosanoids may play a secondary role in Ep production/secretion. The model further proposes that calcium levels in both renal and liver cells may be important in regulating erythropoietin biosynthesis and/or secretion. It is proposed that an increase in intracellular calcium leads to the inhibition of erythropoietin biosynthesis and/or secretion and a decrease in intracellular calcium increases erythropoietin production. The specific mechanism by which calcium regulates erythropoietin biosynthesis and secretion is not well understood. However, a good correlation is seen with several agents that decrease intracellular calcium and increase erythropoietin production as well as with other agents that increase intracellular calcium and decrease erythropoietin production. When inositol triphosphate levels are increased, an increase in the mobilization of intracellular calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum or another intracellular pool occurs. This increased intracellular calcium probably activates a calcium calmodulin kinase and produces a phosphoprotein that inhibits erythropoietin production/secretion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

A murine retrovirus (MRSV) containing the src gene of Rous sarcoma virus has been shown to cause an erythroproliferative disease in mice (S. M. Anderson and E. M. Scolnick, J. Virol. 46:594-605, 1983). We now demonstrate that this same virus can transform erythroid progenitor cells in vitro. Infection of fetal liver cells or spleen and bone marrow cells from phenylhydrazine-treated adult mice gave rise to colonies of erythroid cells which grew in methylcellulose under conditions not favorable for the growth of normal erythroid cells. The presence of pp60src in the transformed erythroid cells was demonstrated by an immune complex protein kinase assay. The time course of appearance and subsequent differentiation of erythroid colonies indicated that the target cell for MRSV was a 6- to 8-day burst-forming unit. Differentiation of the erythroid progenitors was not blocked by the presence of pp60src, and the cells retained sensitivity to the hormone erythropoietin. In fact, the transformed cells exhibited increased hormone sensitivity since the number, the size, and the extent of hemoglobinization of the colonies were all increased by the addition of small amounts of erythropoietin. MRSV was not susceptible to restriction by the Fv-2 locus, as MRSV could transform hematopoietic cells from C57BL/6 mice. These results indicate that (i) the erythroid proliferation observed in vivo is caused by a direct effect of MRSV on erythroid progenitors and (ii) the transformed erythroid precursors acquire a growth advantage over uninfected cells without losing the ability to differentiate and respond to physiologic regulators.

A model has been presented for the role of the kidney in the physiologic and pathophysiologic control of erythropoiesis. It is postulated that an oxygen deficit created by anemia or hypobaric hypoxia results in the release of prostacyclin and its metabolite 6-keto PGE1, and the release of PGE2 with ischemic hypoxia. Prostacyclin, 6-keto-PGE1, or PGE2 activation of adenylate cyclase, an increase in cyclic AMP, activation of a protein kinase and the phosphorylation of hydrolases, which have been released from lysosomes by hypoxia, lead to increased biosynthesis of erythropoietin (Ep). The mechanism of labilization of lysosomes and the release of hydrolases from these cell organelles is postulated to be related to increases in cyclic GMP levels in a renal cell. An Ep-producing human renal carcinoma cell line grown in tissue culture has been demonstrated to produce significant amounts of PGE2. Meclofenamate, an inhibitor of prostaglandins synthesis, was found to inhibit in vitro production of PGE2, Ep, and dome formation in these renal carcinoma cells, giving support to our hypothesis that pathophysiologic production of Ep tumor cells depends upon prostaglandins production. An Ep-producing clone from this renal carcinoma cell line has been developed that contains low electron density (LED) cells after the cells reach confluency, which show a cytoplasm, with abundant and widely dilated endoplasmic reticulum, an oval nucleus, dispersed chromatin, and prominent nucleoli. These are the cells responsible for dome formation and Ep production. Non-EP-producing clones have also been produced from this renal carcinoma cell line, which did not produce domes even at high cell density and had a distinctly different cell type than the Ep-producing clone. Thus, it is postulated that prostacyclin (PGI2) and its metabolite 6-keto PGE1 play a significant role in hypoxic hypoxia stimulation of Ep production and PGE2 is involved in ischemic hypoxia and renal carcinoma cell production of Ep. A modulating effect of PGE2 and PGD2, the two primary bone marrow prostaglandins, has been proposed in Ep stimulation of the erythroid progenitor cell compartment (CFU-E and BFU-E).

Erythropoietin is a cytokine which specifically regulates differentiation and proliferation of erythroid progenitor cells. We show here that binding of erythropoietin to its receptor induced activation of protein tyrosine kinases including Jak2, and of Ras, Raf-1, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase and MAP kinases (ERK1 and ERK2). Taken together with other observations, erythropoietin receptor-mediated signal activates MAP kinase cascade, which is the common signaling pathway activated by other cytokines and growth factor receptors with tyrosine kinase activity.
