METHODSRT-PCR was used to determine mRNA expression of EPO, Erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) and β-common receptor (βCR) in obstructed and un-obstructed ureters from mice. Mice underwent UUO using a non-traumatic microclip for 24h, 48h or 72h (n= 22 animals/group). Ten mice per group received 200IU of EPO on 4 consecutive days; controls received saline. The duration from removal of the obstruction until regression of hydronephrosis was assessed daily with ultrasonography. Peristalsis was assessed microscopically prior-and post-removal of the obstruction via laparatomy.RESULTSEPO, EPOR and βCR were expressed in murine ureters and endogenous EPO expression was up-regulated in obstructed ureters. Following obstruction removal, progressive hydronephrosis and impaired peristaltic activity correlated with the duration of obstruction. Resolution of hydronephrosis and restoration of ureteral peristalsis was significantly accelerated in EPO treated animals compared to controls.CONCLUSIONSThis study indicates that Erythropoietin signalling is present in the murine ureter and demonstrates that the external application of EPO enhances the functional recovery of the ureter resulting in protection of the upper urinary tract. Thus, administration of EPO may present a novel treatment strategy to maintain ureteral SM function in the face of obstructive uropathy.
