Mice lacking EPOR from mature oligodendrocytes show subtle deficiencies of adult myelination in hippocampal fimbria and mild working memory deficits. These gain- and loss-of-function experiments may further suggest EPO as clinically safe treatment for remyelination therapies.
Previously, we developed imBMEP-A, the first erythroid cell line derived from reticulocyte progenitors, which maintains robust hemoglobin expression and erythroid differentiation in the presence of erythropoietin (EPO) despite its immortalized state...These interventions improved viability, restored actin network formation, and increased terminal erythropoiesis, yielding 22.1 ± 1.7% more orthochromatic erythroblasts. These findings establish a foundation for optimizing imBMEP-A cells for therapeutic use and advancing the understanding the pathophysiology of erythroleukemia.
