Recent studies have suggested that endogenous erythropoietin (Epo) plays an important role in the mobilization of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, it remains to be elucidated whether the Epo system exerts protective effects on pulmonary hypertension (PH), a fatal disorder encountered in cardiovascular medicine.
