There is disclosed a molecular composition(s) of a novel tissue protective erythropoietin (EPO) binding receptor protein complex, termed NEPOR. Presence of NEPOR components on a tumour allows EPO to impinge on the survival of associated cells thereby enhancing tumour progression and negatively effecting patient survival. There is disclosed that presence of NEPOR represents a prognostic biomarker for poorer patient outcome. Thus, the method disclosed is for stratifying patients having a tumour as suitable (i.e. NEPOR not present) or non-suitable (i.e., NEPOR present) for EPO treatment, comprising: (a) isolating a tissue sample from an individual who is receiving or is a candidate for receiving erythropoietin, (b) determining the level of expression of the NEPOR gene(s) (mRNA) and/or the presence of the NEPOR gene product (protein) from the isolated tissue, and (c) correlating the presence of an NEPOR gene expression product or the presence of NEPOR protein to a physiological response to the treatment with erythropoietin. Furthermore, by disclosing the molecular compositions of NEPOR species, there are disclosed methods for rationally identifying/designing NEPOR modulating therapeutics. Thus, the present disclosure provides methods for treating neurological insults such as stroke (via enhancement of NEPOR activity) and cancer (via down-regulation of cyto-protective signaling from NEPOR).
