Recovery of Hematopoietic Colony-Forming Cells in Irradiated Mice Pretreated with Interleukin 1 (IL-1)

摘要

Data in this report determined the effect of a single injection of recombinant interleukin 1 a (rIL-1) prior to irradiation of B6D2F1 mice on the recovery of colony forming cells (CFC) at early and late times after sublethal and lethal doses of radiation, Injection of rIL-1 promoted an earlier recovery of mature cells in the blood and CFC in the bone marrow and spleen. For example, 8 days after 6.5 Gy irradiation, the number of CFU-E (colony-forming units erythroid), BFU-E (burst-forming units-erythroid), and GMCFC (granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cells) per femur was approximately 1.5-fold higher in rIL-injected mice than in saline-injected mice. Also, 5,9, and 12 days after irradiation, the number of both day 8 and day 12 CFU-S (colony-forming units-spleen) was almost twofold greater in bone marrow from rIL1-injected mice. The earlier recovery of CFU-S in rIL-1 injected mice was not associated with an increase in the number of CFU-S that survived immediately after irradiation. Also, 7 months after irradiation, the number of CFU-S per femur of both saline-and rIL-1 injected mice was still < 50% of normal values. Data in this report demonstrate that a single injection of rIL-1 prior to irradiation accelerates early hematopoietic recovery in irradiation mice, but does not prevent expression of radiation-induced front-end damage damage to hematopoietic tissues.
