Hyporesponsiveness to recombinant human erythropoietin [PDF]
The introduction of recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-Epo, epoetin) as a treatment for the anaemia of renal failure has transformed the management of this condition. Nevertheless, a significant number of patients fail to respond. There are many different possible causes of inadequate response to epoetin.

Macrophages as novel target cells for erythropoietin
Background Our original demonstration of immunomodulatory effects of erythropoietin in multiple myeloma led us to the search for the cells in the immune system that are direct targets for erythropoietin.

Functional EpoR pathway utilization is not detected in primary tumor cells isolated from human breast, non-small cell lung, colorectal, and ovarian tumor tissues. [PDF]
Several clinical trials in oncology have reported increased mortality or disease progression associated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. One hypothesis proposes that erythropoiesis-stimulating agents directly stimulate tumor proliferation and/or ...
