Abstract

Evidence points to a role for the renin-angiotensin system in the regulation of hematopoiesis. We showed that angiotensin 1-7 (A(1-7)) accelerated recovery and engraftment of bone marrow progenitors. Multilineage bone marrow recovery results in platelet and white blood cell recovery. The effects of A(1-7) are synergistic with Neupogen® and Epogen, both in the bone marrow and in the periphery. Treatment with A(1-7) reduces the dose of Neupogen required to stimulate recovery following myelosuppression. Clinical studies show that TXA127 (clinical formulation of A(1-7)) treatment restores the hematopoietic parameters after chemotherapy, allows the maintenance of chemotherapy dose intensity, and increases progenitor mobilization in combination with Neupogen. In conclusion, A(1-7) is an effective, multilineage stimulant of bone marrow recovery.
