Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a human thrombopoietin receptor (TPOR) binding molecule, in particular, a fusion protein and a fragment thereof that specifically binds to TPOR.
- TPOR human thrombopoietin receptor
- the present invention also relates to a nucleic acid or host cell comprising such a fusion protein or a fragment thereof, a drug comprising such a fusion protein or a fragment thereof, and a treatment and diagnosis method or use using these fusion proteins and fragments.
- Thrombopoietin is the main cytokine that stimulates megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation under physiological conditions. It is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 35.5 kDa and is mainly synthesized by the liver. TPO binds to its receptor c-Mpl (TPOR) to form a homodimer of c-Mpl, thereby triggering the activation of a series of signaling pathways in the cell, leading to the proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes. TPO is a signal peptide synthesized and secreted by the liver and released into the blood circulation to play a role. It has the function of regulating megakaryocyte differentiation and platelet production and is the main regulatory factor for platelet production.
- TPOR receptor c-Mpl

- Immune thrombocytopenia also known as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, is an acquired hemorrhagic disease characterized by excessive platelet destruction and megakaryocyte maturation disorders mediated by humoral immunity and cellular immunity, accounting for about 1/3 of the total number of hemorrhagic diseases.
- the annual incidence of ITP in adults in my country is 5-10/100,000, and the elderly over 60 years old are the high-risk group for the disease; at the same time, ITP is also the most common hemorrhagic disease in children. ITP patients often suffer from skin and mucous membrane bleeding, and severe cases may cause visceral bleeding or even intracranial hemorrhage. Severe ITP may be fatal.
- Thrombocytopenia is present in up to 76% to 84% of patients with chronic liver disease (CLD).
- CLD chronic liver disease
- the hemostasis problem in patients with CLD is further complicated by the presence of thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction.
- Thrombocytopenia may be caused by: splenomegaly or hypersplenism after portal hypertension, decreased production of thrombopoietin by the liver, and increased platelet destruction or consumption.
- Studies have shown that patients with cirrhosis and severe thrombocytopenia have an increased bleeding rate when undergoing invasive surgery.

- CIT Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia
- CIT refers to the inhibitory effect of anti-tumor chemotherapy drugs on bone marrow megakaryocytes, resulting in a platelet count in the peripheral blood of less than 100 ⁇ 10 9 /L.
- CIT is one of the most common chemotherapy-related hematological toxicities, which can increase the risk of bleeding, prolong hospitalization, increase medical expenses, and even lead to death in severe cases.
- CIT can lead to reduced chemotherapy dose intensity, delayed time, or even treatment termination, thereby affecting the anti-tumor efficacy and having an adverse effect on the long-term survival of patients.
