Ineffective erythropoiesis in myelodysplastic syndromes: correlation with Fas expression but not with lack of erythropoietin receptor signal transduction
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Ineffective erythropoiesis in myelodysplasia is characterized by a defect in erythroid progenitor growth and by abnormal erythroid differentiation. Increased apoptosis of erythroid, granulocytic and megakaryocytic lineages is thought to account for cytopenias. Erythropoietin (Epo)-induced BFU-E and CFU-E growth was studied in 25 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) marrow specimens and found to be drastically...
