hematopoietic system
• hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) in the bone marrow and spleen are slowly or noncycling compared to in wild-type mice
• HPCs from 5-FU-treated mice are more protected than HPCs from wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit decreased colony forming units granulocyte, erythrocyte, macrophage, and megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) and granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) compared with wild-type mice
• 5-FU-treated mice fail to exhibit a decrease in CFU-GM numbers by day 7 unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• 5-FU-treated mice exhibit a 14.1-fold increase in CFU-GM at day 11 compared with a 5-fold elevation in similarly treated mice
• 5-FU-treated mice exhibit restored CFU-GEMM numbers after 11 days unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit decreased blast forming units erythrocyte (BFU-E) compared with wild-type mice
• 5-FU-treated mice exhibit a 1.9-fold increase in BFU-E unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• 5-FU-treated mice exhibit a decrease in long and short term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
