Abstract：
:The effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in platelets of 20 essential hypertensive patients (HT) and of 25 normotensive subjects (NT) were investigated using the fura2 technique. In resting platelets [Ca2+]i were not significantly higher in HT compared to NT (74.3 +/- 7.8 nM vs 59.8 +/- 7.0 nM, mean +/- SEM). Addition of EPO significantly increased [Ca2+]i in HT compared to NT (13.8 +/- 5.3 nM vs 0.9 +/- 1.9 nM, p less than 0.01). EPO increased the amount of calcium in intracellular stores. This was confirmed independently using thrombin-induced changes of [Ca2+]i in a calcium-free medium and using chlorotetracycline as a marker of stored calcium. After preincubation with EPO thrombin-induced changes of [Ca2+]i were significantly lower in HT compared to NT (306.1 +/- 30.0 nM vs 407.7 +/- 35.7 nM, p less than 0.05). In a calcium-free medium after preincubation with EPO thrombin-induced changes of [Ca2+]i were significantly lower in HT compared to NT (54.7 +/- 11.8 nM vs 100.9 +/- 10.5 nM, p less than 0.05) indicating lower storage capacity in HT. It is concluded that elevated response to EPO may provide a powerful tool to evaluate diagnosis and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms in essential hypertension.
