Figure 5 Evaluation of erythropoietin effects on cultured gastric epithelial cells. (A) BrdU assay shows a dose-dependent effect of EPO on growth stimulation of porcine gastric mucosal epithelial cells. (B) Growth stimulation effects of EPO on gastric mucosal epithelial cells. Treatment with EPO (closed bar) significantly increased cell growth. This effect is inhibited by anti-EPO neutralizing antibody (hatched bar), not by isotype matched IgG (dotted bar). Results are expressed as the means ± SD of six different experiments. aP < 0.05,bP < 0.01.
