Erythropoietin promotes the differentiation of fetal neural stem cells into glial cells via the erythropoietin receptor-β common receptor/Syne-1/H3K9me3 pathway.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on the differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs)/neural progenitors (NPs) in the treatment of hypoxic-ischemic injury and its potential mechanisms. Fetal NSCs/NPs were treated with EPO after oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation of NSCs/NPs were detected by CellTiter-Glo, Edu assay, flow cytometry, and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Immunofluorescence staining, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and western blotting were used to test the existence of EPO receptor/β common receptor (EPOR/βCR) heterodimer on NSCs/NPs and the possible pathway. EPO treatment at different time points increased cell viability without affecting proliferation. EPO treatment immediately after OGD/
