K562 cells produce and respond to human erythroid-potentiating activity

Human erythroid-potentiating activity (EPA) is a 28,000 mol wt glycoprotein
that stimulates the growth of erythroid progenitors in vitro and enhances
colony formation by the K562 human erythroleukemia cell line. EPA has
potent protease inhibitory activity, and is also referred to as tissue
inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP). We observed that colony formation
by K562 cells in semi-solid medium containing reduced fetal calf serum
(FCS) is not directly proportional to the number of cells plated,
suggesting production of autostimulatory factors by K562 cells. Using
radioimmunoprecipitation and a bioassay for EPA, medium conditioned by K562
cells was found to contain high levels of biologically active EPA; Northern
hybridization analysis confirmed the expression of EPA mRNA. Radiolabeled
EPA was used to identify cell surface receptors on K562 cells. Together,
these results suggest that EPA may act as an autocrine growth factor for
K562 cells.
