Hematopoietic Stem Cell Regulation. I. Acute Effects of HypoxicuHypoxia on CFU Kinetics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper, the first of a series on the regulation of the hematopoIetic stem cell, examines the effects of stem cell kinetics during an acute exposure to hypoxichypoxia. This physiologic perturbation was chosen because of the well-established role It plays In Influencing erythropoiesis. BDF, male mice were exposed to a simulated altitude of 22,000 ft for periods of time ranging from 3 to 48 hr. The following parameters were assessed: Packed red cell volume, number of nucleated cells per femur and spleen, relative and total number of colony-forming units (CFU, i.e., stem cells) In the femoral shaft and whole spleen, as well as the turnover of this population of cells using the “3H-thymidine-killing” technique. The spleen responds by releasing more than one-half (i.e., approximately 108 cells) of its prehypoxic complement of nucleated cells. On the other hand, the femoral cellularity did not decrease but showed a moderate increase. Within 12 hr of hypoxia exposure the total femoral CFU had markedly risen, in some cases between 50#{176}/o and 75#{176}/o above control levels. There were, nevertheless, great fluctuations over a short period of time. The population turnover kinetics revealed that after 3 hr of hypoxia an average of 25#{176}/o of the CFU in both marrow and spleen were in the DNA synthetic phase. It is clear that stem cells are capable of responding rapidly to hypoxia. The possible regulatory mechanisms are discussed in terms of what is known about the kinetics of erythropoietin generation.

Effect of daunorubicin drug with and without cimetidine on the nucleated cells of bone marrow of balb/c mouse
Introduction: Hematopoiesis is an on going process mammalian marrow system. A few cells from the nucleated cells of bone marrow are hematopoietic cells which include primary stem cells, precursor cells and progenitor cells. Primary stem cells and progenitor cells are able to produce colonies in culture medium (CFU-C) and irradiated mouse spleen (CFU-S). A hematopoietic cell is alive and act...

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment option for hematological disorders. Cyclosporine (CsA) is one of the major immunosuppressive agents for the prophylaxis against graft versus host disease (GvHD). In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effects of CsA serum levels on the incidence of acute GvHD and transplant outcomes. 103 adult patients rece...

The production of mature blood cells is finely regulated, so that the homeostasis can be maintained and cell production be adapted to the specific needs of particular blood cell compartments (e.g., granulocytes during infection). A complex regulatory network of positive and negative signals and cellular interactions serves the hematopoietic system to fulfill this role. In vitro colony assays ar...
