PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of supplemental erythropoietin (EPO) on its receptor (EPOR) and signal transduction pathways in rat model of retinal detachment (RD). METHODS: To investigate the effect of EPO on EPOR expression in RD rats 100, 200 or 400 ng EPO was injected into the vitreous cavity immediately after RD model was induced. Western blot and immunohistochemistry analyses were performed to measure EPOR expression. To investigate the effect of EPO on signal transduction pathways in RD rats single dose of 400 ng EPO was injected into the vitreous cavity immediately after RD model was induced. The total and phosphorylated levels of JAK2, Akt, ERK-1/2, STAT5 and NF-kappaB were assessed by western blot. RESULTS: Western blot analysis showed that, compared with the normal control group, EPOR expression in the neurosensory retina was significantly increased in experimental RD groups (P < 0.05), but the differences were not significant between experimental RD groups (P > 0.05). Immunohistochemical examination indicated that EPOR staining on retinas became strongly positive 3 days after RD, with no significant difference in staining intensities between the treatment groups. Phosphorylated levels of JAK2, Akt, ERK-1/2, STAT5, and NF-kappaB were enhanced 3 days after RD, but only JAK2, Akt, and ERK-1/2 phosphorylation was further enhanced by 400 ng EPO treatment (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Supplementary EPO cannot affect EPOR expression in detached retina, but EPO may activate both PI-3K/Akt and MAPK/ERK-1/2 signal transduction pathways in RD model.
