Abstract excerpt
Human erythropoietin (hEPO) has multiple actions in non-hematopoietic tissues, including neurotrophic, anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory effects. To examine the effect of EPO in an vitro model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we stably overexpressed wild SOD1 and a mutant form, SOD1/G93A, in NSC-34 motoneuron-like cells. Transformants harboring the wild and mutant forms of SOD1 were...
