Description

Erythropoietin is a cytokine with a pleiotropic effect. It is the principal haematopoietic growth factor, has a proangiogenic and protective effect in diverse nonhaematopoietic organs. In our experiment cell proliferation and/or survival assay was used to demonstrate Epo's cytoprotective effect against the photodynamic therapy of hypericin. Epo protected SKOV-3 cells against the cytotoxic effect of hypericin. These results advocate a restricted use of Epo on cancer patients with EpoR positive tumors. (authors)
