Abstract

We studied the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin on functional activity of skin cells in vitro. It was found that erythropoietin stimulated proliferation of mesenchymal and epithelial cells and effectively protected epidermal HaCaT cells from apoptosis. Insignificant effect of erythropoietin on contraction of collagen gel by mesenchymal cells was revealed. These findings suggest that erythropoietin can be a promising component of wound-healing preparations.
