Overview of Gene Research
Epor, short for erythropoietin receptor, is a member of the cytokine class I receptor family. It classically mediates erythropoietin (EPO)-induced erythroblast proliferation and differentiation, thus being crucial for erythropoiesis [1]. Additionally, it has been implicated in various other biological processes through associated signaling pathways, such as the Jak2-p27Kip1 pathway which impacts erythroid progenitor proliferation [1]. Genetic models like EpoR-tdTomato-Cre mice are valuable tools for studying Epor expression and function [3].
In in vivo studies using KO/CKO mouse models, deletion of Epor in osteoprogenitor cells (EpoR:Osx-cre, cKO) increased vertebral bone volume in female mice, indicating its role in bone homeostasis and Epo-induced bone loss [4]. In the monocytic lineage, conditional deletion of Epor in LysMCre model mice reduced the increase in bone marrow preosteoclasts and resulting bone loss after high-dose EPO administration, suggesting EPOR in this lineage contributes to EPO-driven effects on bone mass [2]. Myeloid-specific EPOR-deficient mice showed restrained M2 macrophage polarization and impaired inflammation resolution in acute lung injury, highlighting its role in macrophage polarization [5].
In conclusion, Epor is essential for erythropoiesis and also plays significant roles in bone homeostasis, macrophage polarization and potentially other biological processes. The use of Epor KO/CKO mouse models has provided key insights into its functions in bone-related diseases and acute lung injury, enhancing our understanding of these disease mechanisms and potentially paving the way for new therapeutic strategies.
