Hypoxia and erythropoietin (EPO) were a couple from the very beginning. Hypoxia induces the production of EPO, which became the paradigm for oxygen-regulated gene expression [1]. Dissecting EPO gene regulation has lead to the discovery of the transcription factor complex hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), the widespread "master regulator of O2 homeostasis" in the tissue, and the identification of cellular oxygen sensors in control of HIF-1 (reviewed by [2]). EPO as a erythropoietic hormone is mainly synthesized
