Abstract

The effects of granulocyte colony-stimulation-factor (G-CSF) on stem cell mobilization and its impact on the amplification of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) of donor mice were examined. A mouse model of stem cell mobilization was established by consecutive subcutaneous injection of 100 μg/kg G-CSF for 5 days. The blood from the donor mice was routinely examined during mobilization. Stem cells and MDSCs were analyzed by flow cytometry. The immunosuppressive molecules derived from MDSCs in serum and spleen, including hydrogen dioxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO), and the activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) were determined during the mobilization. Apoptosis of T lymphocytes was assessed by using Annexin-V/PI. During stem cell mobilization, the number of lymphocytes and white blood cells in the peripheral blood was increased, and peaked on the 4th day. The number of stem cells in G-CSF-treated mice was significantly greater than that in controls (P<0.01). The expansions of MSDCs were also observed after G-CSF mobilization, with a more notable rate of growth in the peripheral blood than in the spleen. The activity of NOS and the production of NO were increased in the donor mice, and the serum H2O2 levels were approxima...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
