Research Abstract |
There have been technical and ethical problems for the application of cell therapy. Alternative medical such as cytokines other than cultured cells may help resolvingtheseproblems. Asialresourcesoerythropoietin(AEPO), a natural derivative of EPO, plays important role in angiogenesis and tissue protection of cardiovascular and central nervous systems. We started the preclinical studies on the in vitro and in vivo effects of AEPO. AEPO exerted strong cardiovasculoprotective and angiogenic activity in vivo. EPO derivatives expressed in vitro angiogenic activity in an intrinsic IL-6 dependent manner. AEPO showed tissue affinity in vitro and in vivo. We have entered into negotiations with a partner company for clinical applications of AEPO.
