Abstract: | The murine erythroleukemic cell line, IW201, normally expresses only low-affinity erythropoietin receptors. Exposure of these cells for 48 hours to sodium butyrate results in a change in receptor kd from about 600 pmol/L to 100 to 200 pmol/L. This change in affinity is accompanied by downregulation of both receptor number and receptor mRNA. Cells exposed to sodium butyrate for 2 hours show a similar change in kd but no change in receptor number. The butyrate effect on kd at 2 hours is abrogated by either cycloheximide or actinomycin D. These data indicate that an accessory protein induced by sodium butyrate is responsible for high-affinity binding of erythropoietin. |
