Erythropoietin rapidly induces tyrosine phosphorylation in the human erythropoietin-dependent cell line, UT-7.

UT-7 is a human megakaryoblastic cell line capable of growing in interleukin-3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or erythropoietin (Epo) (Cancer Res 51:341, 1991). We used this cell line and a selected Epo-dependent subcell line (UT-7/Epo) to study the early signal transduction events induced by Epo. When UT-7 cells were exposed to Epo, tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins (with molecular weight equivalent to that of p85, p110, and p145) was observed. Protein phosphorylation occurred in both a dose- and time-dependent manner. p85 showed a marked increase in phosphotyrosine content within 30 seconds; maximal phosphorylation was observed at 1 minute. Subsequently, tyrosine phosphorylation of p110 and p145 was observed, beginning at 1 minute and reaching plateau at 5 minutes. The degree of phosphorylation of these three proteins gradually decreased thereafter. In addition, in UT-7/Epo cells, Epo induced tyrosine phosphorylation of other proteins that were not observed in Epo-induced UT-7 cells. The concentration of Epo required to induce tyrosine phosphorylation was in the same range of concentration required to stimulate cell growth. Epo was also able to activate p21ras as measured by exchange of guanosine diphosphate for guanosine triphosphate. These data show that tyrosine phosphorylation and P21ras activation are early signals in the Epo-induced mitogenic pathway.
