Erythropoietin Inhibits Hypoxia–Induced Epithelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition via Upregulation of miR-200b in HK-2 Cells

Background/Aims: Renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is regarded as an important factor leading to renal interstitial fibrosis. Erythropoietin (EPO) has been reported to attenuate renal fibrosis. The mechanism underlying this protective effect of EPO remains unclear. In this study,...
