During the past century, few proteins have matched erythropoietin (Epo) in capturing the imagination of physiologists, molecular biologists, and, more recently, physicians and patients. Its appeal rests on its commanding role as the premier erythroid cytokine, the elegant mechanism underlying the regulation of its gene, and its remarkable impact as a ...

Macrophages as novel target cells for erythropoietin
Background Our original demonstration of immunomodulatory effects of erythropoietin in multiple myeloma led us to the search for the cells in the immune system that are direct targets for erythropoietin.

Neuronal damage after moderate hypoxia and erythropoietin
Both mild hypoxia and exogenous erythropoietin may protect the brain against subsequent severe hypoxia, and the conditioning effect of transient hypoxia is partly mediated by hypoxia-induced endogenous erythropoietin.

Prognostic significance of endogenous erythropoietin in long-term outcome of patients with acute decompensated heart failure [PDF]
Aims Although previous reports suggest that an elevated endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) level is associated with worse clinical outcomes in chronic heart failure (HF) patients, the prognostic implication of EPO in patients with acute decompensated HF ...

Low oxygen tension primes aortic endothelial cells to the reparative effect of tissue-protective cytokines [PDF]
Erythropoietin (EPO) has both erythropoietic and tissue-protective properties. The EPO analogues carbamylated EPO (CEPO) and pyroglutamate helix B surface peptide (pHBSP) lack the erythropoietic activity of EPO but retain the tissue-protective properties

BACKGROUND: Erythropoietic-stimulating agents such as erythropoietin have been used as part of patient blood management programs to reduce or even avoid the use of allogeneic blood transfusions.

Erythropoietin-induced serine 727 phosphorylation of STAT3 in erythroid cells is mediated by a MEK-, ERK-, and MSK1-dependent pathway [PDF]
Objective. Erythropoietin (EPO) is a key regulator of erythropoiesis, playing a role in both the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid cells.

Erythropoietin modulates bone marrow stromal cell differentiation
Erythropoietin is essential for bone marrow erythropoiesis and erythropoietin receptor on non-erythroid cells including bone marrow stromal cells suggests systemic effects of erythropoietin. Tg6 mice with chronic erythropoietin overexpression have a high
