Stimulation of cell growth by erythropoietin in RAW264.7 cells: association with AP-1 activation.

@article{ap1, abstract = {Erythropoietin (EPO), a hematopoietic factor, is required for normal erythrocyte developments, but it has been demonstrated to have many other functions, and its receptor is localized in other tissues.

The restoring effect of EPO was completed when the RAW264.7 cells were cultured in the medium containing as low as 3\% of FBS, and 10 U/mL EPO could replace FBS. The restoring effect of EPO in the RAW264.7 cells was associated with the increased of c-Fos and c-Jun expression as well as AP-1 activation.
