Lack of effect of the human GM-CSF analog E21R on the survival of primary human acute myeloid leukemia cells [PDF]
The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) analog E21R binds to the GM-CSF receptor complex with low affinity and acts as a competitive antagonist.

Localization of Erythropoietin and Erythropoietin‐Receptor in Postimplantation Mouse Embryos [PDF]
We used RT‐PCR (reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction) and immunocytochemical methods to demonstrate the presence of erythropoietin (Ep) and its receptor (EpR) in postimplantation mouse embryos from the egg‐cylinder to the unturned stage. Expression of mRNA for EpR was detected in total RNA from embryos and decidua in all these stages, but Ep

Adding epoetin alfa to intense dose-dense adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer : randomized clinical trial [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The AGO-ETC trial compared 5-year relapse-free survival of intense dose-dense (IDD) sequential chemotherapy with epirubicin (E), paclitaxel (T), and cyclophosphamide (C) (IDD-ETC) every 2 weeks vs conventional scheduled epirubicin ...

Oxygen-dependent expression of the erythropoietin gene in rat hepatocytes in vitro [PDF]
Since in juvenile rats the liver is the predominant site of erythropoietin (EPO) gene expression, we have used primary cultures of juvenile rat hepatocytes to establish and in vitro system for investigation of oxygen-dependent EPO formation.

A critical role for erythropoietin on vagus nerve Schwann cells in intestinal motility
Background Dysmotility and postoperative ileus (POI) are frequent major clinical problems post-abdominal surgery. Erythropoietin (EPO) is a multifunctional tissue-protective cytokine that promotes recovery of the intestine in various injury models. While

Definition of a family of tissue-protective cytokines using functional cluster analysis: a proof-of-concept study [PDF]
The discovery of the tissue-protective activities of erythropoietin (EPO) has underlined the importance of some cytokines in tissue-protection, repair, and remodeling.

Approaches to Manipulate Ephrin-A:EphA Forward Signaling Pathway
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma A (EphA) receptors and their ephrin-A ligands are key players of developmental events shaping the mature organism. Their expression is mostly restricted to stem cell niches in adults but is reactivated in
