The proliferation and migration of endothelial cells are vascular outcomes of inflammation and in this sense, proinflammatory cytokines may enhance the effects of other promigratory factors. Previously, we found that a stimulatory effect of TNF-α on endothelial cells (migration, adhesion, VCAM, ICAM) was enhanced by the simultaneous treatment with erythropoietin (Epo). Based on this, we were interested in investigating the mechanisms involved. Migration of endothelial EAhy.926 cells induced by TNF-α was enhanced by the interaction of Epo+TNF-α, despite no effect of Epo alone was detected at 10 IU/mL (E vs. ET, P
