An Early Response of the Morphologically Recognizable Erythroid Precursors to Bleeding

Abstract: 55Fe autoradiography of the peripheral red blood cells has been used to study the proliferation of the recognizable erythroid precursors in bled animals. The transit time of the recognizable erythroid precursors present in the bone marrow and labelled with 55Fe 6 hr before bleeding, remains unchanged, but the number of red cells produced by these precursors is significantly greater than normal. It is deduced that the increased red cell production is brought about by an increase in the number of divisions that … Show more

“…The increased proliferation in nucleated red cells was followed later by an increase in red cell output. The red cell mass measured 3 days after the completion of the 5 day stimulation period was increased by 15.47 ml/kg body weight. Changes in reticulocyte concentration and in red cell size and hemoglobin content occurring with stimulation are shown in Table III.…”

“…On the other hand, in normal animals erythropoietin has the opportunity to act on both undifferentiated erythroid precursors and cells maturing at the time of stimulation. If the number of mitotic divisions during the maturation sequence were increased (15), there should be an increase in the number of nucleated red cells beyond that derived from precursor input. The first 24 hr is critical because changes in terminal mitoses cannot be detected after a new maturation pattern is established.…”

“…The experiments described in this paper were all carried out when the erythroid system had reached a new steady state in response to the stress, and therefore they provide no information about the changes that take place during the period of adaptation to the stress. In a recent study on the effects of acute blood loss Hanna (1968) has shown that immediately after the onset of anaemia the transit tirne is not changed, but that the recognizable precursors do, in fact, undergo extra divisions during maturation. This implies that the cycle time is reduced very early after the onset of anaemia.…”

“…This occurs by the breakdown of RNA to low molecular weight products (76,79). During erythropoietic stress, erythroid development is characterized by a decreased marrow or spleen transit time (29,31,(80)(81)(82), which may be the result of shortened cell-cycle times (29,81,83) or of a reduction in the number of mitotic divisions (31,(52)(53)(54) or both (84). The loss of RNA might therefore occur during a shorter time period than in normal erythropoiesis.…”
