We report that thrombopoietin (TPO), a stimulator of platelet formation, acts in the brain as a counterpart of erythropoietin (EPO), a hematopoietic growth factor with neuroprotective properties. TPO is most prominent in postnatal brain, whereas EPO is abundant in embryonic brain and decreases postnatally. Upon hypoxia, EPO and its receptor are rapidly reexpressed, whereas neuronal TPO and its receptor are down-regulated. Unexpectedly, TPO is strongly proapoptotic in the brain, causing death of newly generated neurons through the Ras-extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 pathway. This effect is not only inhibited by EPO but also by neurotrophins. We suggest that the proapoptotic function of TPO helps to select for neurons that have acquired target-derived neurotrophic support."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1073/pnas.0406008102"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150545"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7318"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.relation.issn","0027-8424"],["dc.subject","astrocytes; erythropoietin; neurons; differentiation; development"],["dc.title","A hematopoietic growth factor, thrombopoietin, has a proapoptotic role in the brain"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Materials and Methods: The trial consisted of a safety part and an efficacy part. in the safety study, 13 patients received rhEPO intravenously (3.3 x 10(4) IU/50 m/130 min) once daily for the first 3 days after stroke. in the double-blind randomized proof-of-concept trial, 40 patients received either rhEPO or saline.
