| Research Abstract |
A. Role of Prostaglandin E_2(PGE_2) in granulopoiesis: The inhibitory effect of PGE_2 on CFUgm was overcome by excess CSF whilst showing little changes in the numbers and/or affinity of CSF receptors. The inhibition by PGE_2 apperars to act through post CSF receptor mechanisms, inbetween intracellular cAMP and c-myc transcription.
B. Erythropoinetin and anemia in chronic renal failure(CRF): Marrow CFUe was markedly increased in CRF. Epo administration resulted in a significant inprovement in anemia. The marrow in CRF appears spurinously normal, incapable to show a compensatory increase in de novo erythropoiesis via a lack of Epo.
C. Studies on myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS): The growth of marrow CFUgm at the time of diagnosis was significantly related to the survival. In addition, requential changes in the CFUgm growth patterns correlated with the different clinical outcome of MDS. Serial in situ observation of individual hemopoietic clones reveals the presence of clones failing to grow continuously in culture or clones showing to degenerate. These abortive clones conceivably represent ineffective hemopoiesis.
