Table 1 Effects of high rHu-EPO concentrations on Bcl-2 mRNA levels in rat hepatocytes

From: No evidence for protective erythropoietin alpha signalling in rat hepatocytes

Treatment

Normoxia

Hypoxia (3% O 2 )

Control

0.11 ± 0.03 fg/μl

0.05 ± 0.02 fg/μl

EPO 50 U/ml

0.09 ± 0.03 fg/μl

0.04 ± 0.01 fg/μl

EPO 100 U/ml

0.08 ± 0.03 fg/μl

0.04 ± 0.02 fg/μl

  1. NOTE. Quantitative (RT-)PCR from total RNA was performed as described in Methods after a 24 hours incubation of cultured rat hepatocytes with or without high doses of rHu-EPO under normoxia or hypoxia (3% O2). Data are the means ± SD of 4 separate experiments with hepatocytes different animals each.
