Nowadays, gene therapy approach is used by MSCs as a delivery vehicle in the preclinical and the clinical trials for the secretion of erythropoietin, recombinant antibodies, coagulation factors, cytokines, as well as angiogenic inhibitors in many blood disorders like anemia, hemophilia, and malignancies.
Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents have been used to treat anemia in patients with cancer, but there are concerns that erythropoiesis-stimulating agents might stimulate Epo receptors on tumor cells (Epo receptor-cancer hypothesis).
Beta (β)-thalassemia major is a genetic disorder with anemia and an increased level of erythropoietin by Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway.
Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (continuous erythropoietin receptor activator, C.E.R.A.) is used for the treatment of anaemia in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The recent major setback of erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs) and the reluctance to transfuse cancer patients with mild and even moderate anemia, had resulted in significant under-treatment of CIA.
Polymorphisms of inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (rs1127354 and rs6051702) and interferon lambda 4 (IFLN4) (rs12979860) are indicators of anemia and/or sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C on ribavirin/interferon.
Anaemia is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], its two main aetiologies being iron deficiency anaemia [IDA] and anaemia of chronic inflammation [ACI].
Sirolimus plus nintedanib prevented vascular pathology in the oral mucosa, lungs, and liver of the BMP9/10ib mice, as well as significantly reduced gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia in inducible ALK1-deficient adult mice.
In a recent US-based nationwide registry study, about 10% of all hospitalized ischemic stroke patients had comorbid cancer, with a slight rise in this rate over the last decade.<sup>2</sup> Stroke patients diagnosed with occult cancer are usually older with men being at a higher risk of having comorbid cancer.<sup>3,4</sup> In addition, probability of cancer diagnosis after stroke is associated with smoking, elevated D-dimer, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), and anemia on admission.
Looking ahead, a deeper understanding of the relationships between FGF23 regulation, iron homeostasis and erythropoiesis can be leveraged to devise novel therapeutic targets for treatment of anaemia and states of FGF23 excess, including chronic kidney disease.
Polymorphisms of inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (rs1127354 and rs6051702) and interferon lambda 4 (IFLN4) (rs12979860) are indicators of anemia and/or sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C on ribavirin/interferon.
Compared with EMAST-negative patients, EMAST-positive patients were older (median age 77 vs. 69 years; p < 0.001), leaner (median weight 67.5 vs. 77 kg; p = 0.001), had significantly higher rates of hypoalbuminemia (24% vs. 6%; OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.5-3.6; p = 0.002) and anemia (45% vs. 20%; OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.6-6.8; p = 0.001), and had elevated preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (51% vs. 34%; OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.0-3.9; p = 0.046).
Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (continuous erythropoietin receptor activator, C.E.R.A.) is used for the treatment of anaemia in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Cessation of gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia after aortic valve intervention for severe aortic stenosis may be attributed not only to recovery of HMW multimers of VWF but also to the disappearance of angiodysplasia.
To conduct a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to estimate the incidence of anaemia, leucopoenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia associated with MTX plus folic acid among patients with rheumatic diseases.
Polymorphisms of inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (rs1127354 and rs6051702) and interferon lambda 4 (IFLN4) (rs12979860) are indicators of anemia and/or sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C on ribavirin/interferon.
We have shown previously that in mice lacking a Cnot3 gene, which encodes an essential component of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex in liver (Cnot3-LKO mice), the liver does not mature properly, resulting in various pathologies such as hepatitis, hepatic necrosis, and anemia.
