EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL pH ON THE PRODUCTION OF HEMATOPOIETIC GROWTH FACTORS
Cellular and tissue activities highly depend on environmental pH. Murine lung tissue, when cultured properly in-vitro, is a potent producer of hematopoietic growth factors. We have studied the effect of pH on the production of hematopoietic growth factors and protein synthesis by the murine lung in-vitro. Various concentrations of NaHC03 were used to adjust the pH of the culture medium unde...
متن کاملAdvances in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...
متن کاملEvidence-based use of colony-stimulating factors in elderly cancer patients.
BACKGROUND Neutropenia and its complications represent the major dose-limiting toxicity of cancer chemotherapy, especially in the elderly. Hematopoietic growth factors have been shown to reduce the severity and duration of febrile neutropenia (FN) and to sustain chemotherapy dose intensity. METHODS A systematic review was undertaken of studies of the relationship between age and the risk of n...
متن کاملPediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
The introduction and evolution of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could be traced back to 1950s, to the studies on interactions among irradiation, covering spleen and bone marrow from it and injection of bone marrow cells. Today, HSCT is considered a well-established, effective and promising means of therapy for various malignant and non-malignant medical conditions, both in chil...
متن کاملEffect of Propranolol on Angiogenic Factors in Human Hematopoietic Cell Lines in vitro
Background: Beta-adrenergic blocking agents have been broadly used for treatment of many cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension and ischemic heart failure. Anti-tumoral, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis effects of propranolol (a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker) have been shown. Angiogenesis (replenish of the pre-existing vascular networks) plays a critical role in s...
