ABSTRACT
Erythropoietin (EPO), the key hormone involved in erythropoiesis, beneficially affects endothelial cells (ECs), but the detailed mechanisms are yet to be completely understood. In this study, we investigated the role of transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1), a ligand-gated non-selective calcium (Ca In ECs, EPO time dependently increased intracellular levels of calcium; this increase was abrogated by the Ca These findings indicate the EPO-induced Ca
