N normal phenotype
hematopoietic system
• hematopoeitic progenitor cells (HPCs) within the bone marrow strongly decreased and fewer cells are in a proliferative cell cycle
• the number of HPCs in the spleen is increased and more HPCs are actively proliferating
• following stimulation with growth factors and chemokine treatment in vivo, HPCs are unresponsive to chemokine-induced myelosuppression but can be returned to responsiveness by CD8+ T cell depletion
• however, HPCs are sensitive to inhibition of proliferation by TNF-alpha
• depletion of CD4+ or CD8+ T cells increases HPC cycling in the bone marrow
• depletion of CD8+ T cells decreases HPC cycling in the spleen
• the synergistic effect in proliferation observed when HPCs are treated with stem cell factor and granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factors is abolished but can be restored by CD8+ T cell depletion
• in the peripheral blood leukocytes
• in the bone marrow
• in the bone marrow and peripheral blood leukocytes
