Pathological features of bone marrow transplantation-related toxicity in a mouse
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this case report, we present a mock-transduced bone marrow (BM) transplantation in a mouse, which was found moribund and autopsied to evaluate pathogenesis. Macroscopically, red discoloration of systemic organs was observed. Hematological values revealed a decrease in white blood cells, red blood cells, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and platelets, but an increase in reticulocytes. In BM cytology, hematopoietic cell lines were severely depleted. Histopathologically, hemorrhage in the cerebellar parenchyma, hemosiderin deposition and hemorrhage in the heart, necrosis and telangiectasia in liver, pulmonary parenchymal cysts, spermatogenic germ cells necrosis, atrophy and hemorrhage in testis, oligospermia and hemorrhage in the epididymis, and atrophy of BM, thymus and spleen were observed. In conclusion, autoimmune-like complications such as hematological value change, BM dysplasia and systemic hemorrhage appear to be the lethal cause of the mouse transplanted with mock-transduced BM.

Citrus extract protects mouse bone marrow cells against gamma-irradiation
With respect to radiation damage to humans, it is important to seek possible radioprotectants to modify the normal response of biological systems to radiation-induced toxicity or lethality. For this reasons, the search for less-toxic radiation radioprotectants has spurred interest in the development of different compounds. The radioprotective effects of citrus extract were investigated by using...

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been recently received increasing attention for cell-based therapy, especially in regenerative medicine. However, the low survival rate of these cells restricts their therapeutic applications. It is hypothesized that autophagy might play an important role in cellular homeostasis and survival. This study aims to investigate the regenerative potentia...
