OBJECTIVESTo observe the effect of roxadustat on lowering blood lipids in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients beyond treating anemia.METHODSIn a prospective, multicenter clinical study, we randomly assigned (in a 1:1 ratio) 100 PD patients who had received erythropoiesis-stimulating agent therapy for at least 4 weeks to receive either roxadustat or erythropoietin (EPO) for 48 weeks. The blood lipids, hemoglobin, blood pressure, blood glucose, iron metabolism and inflammatory factors were compared between the two groups at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 48 weeks, respectively.RESULTSAt start of switching to roxadustat, hemoglobin seemed to rise a little faster (102.8 ± 15.4 vs. 97.1 ± 17.3 g/L at 2 weeks, p > 0.05), but there was no significant difference in hemoglobin change between the two groups over the course of observation (p = 0.185). At the early stage of the study (12 weeks), the transferrin saturation (TSAT) of roxadustat group decreased significantly from the baseline (32.7 (20.6) vs. 22.1 (18.7)%, p = 0.001). At the end of the study period (48 weeks), total cholesterol (3.89 ± 0.92 vs. 4.52 ± 1.14 mmol/L, p = 0.012), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (2.24 ± 0.74 vs. 2.63 ± 0.82 mmol/L, p = 0.045) and triglyceride (1.35 (0.86) vs. 1.89 (1.27) mmol/l, p = 0.013) in roxadustat group were significantly lower than those in EPO group.CONCLUSIONSRoxadustat not only can improve anemia and iron metabolism, but also can reduce serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in PD patients after switching from the EPO.

Effects of remote ischemic preconditioning and/or erythropoietin on lung injury induced by skeletal ischemia reperfusion: role of the NLRP3 inflammasome

Article

Author: Elsokkary, Nahed H ; El-Mas, Mahmoud M ; Ali, Mennatallah A ; Elblehi, Samar S ; Khalifa, Asmaa A

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESRemote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) diminishes multi-organ failure induced by skeletal muscle ischemia and reperfusion (S-I/R). The current study investigated whether skeletal RIPC protection against S-I/R-induced acute lung injury (ALI) could be facilitated following simultaneous exposure to the glycoprotein hormone erythropoietin (EPO) in rats and whether this interaction is modulated by the NLRP3 inflammasome.METHODSS-I/R challenge was performed by 3-h ischemia followed by 3-h reperfusion of the right hindlimb, whereas RIPC involved three 20-min brief consecutive I/R cycles of the contralateral hindlimb.RESULTSThe lung injurious response to S-I/R was verified by: (i) decreases in minute respiratory volume (MRV), forced expiratory volume 1 (FEV1) and functional vital capacity (FVC), (ii) increases in respiratory rate (RR), (iii) falls in lung surfactant protein-D (SP-D) and rises in of lung plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and (iv) disruption of alveolar architecture. These lung defects were partially amended by RIPC or EPO (500 or 5000 IU/kg). Further, the prior exposure to RIPC plus EPO-500 was more effective than separate interventions in rectifying ALI damages. Molecularly, the dual RIPC/EPO-500 regimen was also more effective in reversing the S-I/R-associated increments in pulmonary expressions of NLRP3 and related inflammatory (TLR4, MyD88, TRAF, NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-18), apoptotic (ASC, procaspse-1, caspase-1), and microRNA signals (increases in miR-21 and decreases miR-495).CONCLUSIONThese findings suggest a pivotal role for the suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome and interconnected cellular offenses in the augmented therapeutic potential of the RIPC/EPO-500 regimen against S-I/R-induced ALI.

Therapeutic effects of erythropoietin-alginate/chitosan hydrogel on impaired male rat fertility after spinal cord injury

Article

Author: Rasekh, Morteza ; Sadeghinezhad, Javad ; Gilanpour, Hassan ; Akbari, Ghasem ; Mortazavi, Pejman

BACKGROUNDInfertility is a significant issue in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Men with SCI often experience erectile and ejaculatory dysfunctions, and low sperm quality leading to impaired fertility. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of Erythropoietin (EPO)alginate/chitosan (CH-AL) hydrogel on SCI-induced male rat infertility.METHODSTwenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: Sham, SCI-induced group without any further intervention (Negative control, NC), and a treatment group receiving 10,000 IU/kg EPO-CH/AL hydrogel (EPO group), immediately following SCI induction. Sperm parameters, oxidative stress markers, apoptosis, and histopathological changes in animal testes were analyzed.RESULTSSperm viability and motility significantly decreased in the NC group compared to the sham group (p < 0.01). Treatment with 10,000 IU/kg EPO-CH/AL hydrogel significantly improved sperm viability and motility compared to the NC group (p < 0.05). Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were elevated and reduced, respectively, in the NC group compared to the sham group. Treatment with EPO-CH/AL hydrogel group, significantly decreased MDA level and increased SOD levels compared to the NC group (p < 0.05). Apoptosis analysis revealed upregulation of Bcl-2 and downregulation of Bax genes in EPO-CH/AL hydrogel compared to the NC group (p < 0.05). Histological analysis showed that the EPO-CH/AL hydrogel improved depletion of germ cell population and Luminal spaces compared to NC group but did not fully restore normal histology.CONCLUSIONEPO-CH/AL hydrogel effectively improves sperm viability and motility, reduces oxidative stress, and mitigates apoptosis, demonstrating its potential as a therapeutic strategy for SCI-induced infertility.

HAGENS BERMAN Reminds FibroGen (FGEN) Investors of

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hagens Berman urges FibroGen, Inc. (NASDAQ: FGEN) investors with significant losses to submit your losses now. Class Period: Oct. 18, 2017 – Apr. 6, 2021Lead Plaintiff Deadline: June 11, 2021Visit: Contact An Attorney Now: FGEN@hbsslaw.com 844-916-0895 FibroGen, Inc. (NASDAQ: FGEN) Securities Fraud Action: The complaint centers on FibroGen’s presentation of false data of roxadustat to make the anemia drug look safer than it is. Throughout the Class Period, FibroGen touted the prospects of roxadustat. A key selling point for the drug was its purported heart safety as compared to standard of care erythropoietin (EPO) injectable therapies, which cannot be proscribed to a variety of patients at risk of major cardiac events. To support this marketing edge, FibroGen presented data from phase 3 trials purportedly showing roxadustat was safer than EPO, among other at risk populations, in incident dialysis patients. But after the market closed on Apr. 6, 2021, FibroGen stunningly admitted to altering stratification factors to make roxadustat’s hazard ratios indicate lower risk relative to EPO. As a result of the data manipulation, FibroGen CEO Enrique Conterno admitted that the company can no longer say its drug was safer than EPO in incident dialysis patients. In response to this news, several analysts slashed their FibroGen share price targets and reduced their investment recommendations. On this news, the Company’s share price fell over 43%, to close at $19.74 per share on Apr. 7, 2021. Shares continued to fall 5% on Apr. 8, 2021, on heavy volume. “We’re focused on investors’ losses and proving FibroGen senior management intentionally manipulated the safety-related data for its anemia drug,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
