| Research Abstract |
In this project, we clarified several things as follows;
1.Stat1 and Stat3 are activated by erythropoietin (EPO) and function as negative regulators in EPO-induced erythroid differentiation (JBC 272: 16507, 1997; Blood 92: 462, 1998).
2.Tyrosine kinases Fes and JAK2 activates Stat1 and Stat3 (manuscript in preparation).
3.Stat3 is involved in recovery from myelosupression in erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis (manuscript in preparation).
4. Stat3 has a negative effect on thrombopoietin (TPO)-induced megakaryocytic differentiation (manuscript in preparation.).
5. There is a crosstalk between EPO and TPO signaling pathways (manuscript in preparation).
6. Mitogen-activated protein kinases, Erk-1 and Erk-2 functions as a possible key factor for cell fate determination toward erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages (Int. Hematol., in press).
6. EPO receptor and GATA-1 are highly expressed in erythroleukemia cells (Exp. Hematol. 26: 1148, 1998).
7. FKHRL1 is one of downstream target molecules of PI3K-Akt activation pathway in EPO signal transduction (Blood in press).
