The molecular mechanism of erythroid differentiation has been still ill-defined. In this study, we introduced a human interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) beta chain cDNA into ELM-I-1 cells which differentiated into hemoglobin-positive cells in the presence of erythropoietin (Epo), and established the transformant which expressed IL-2R beta chain. In this transformant, we revealed that IL-2 induced erythroid differentiation and the same pattern of tyrosine phosphorylation as Epo. These data suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in signal transduction pathway of erythroid differentiation. It is also implicated that the Epo and IL-2 receptor system share a common signal transduction pathway.

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.
