Morphological composition of the bone marrow, content of hemopoietic precursors, intensity of their proliferation and differentiation, and the size of mesenchymal precursor pool were studied in experiments on CBA/CaLac mice with myelosuppression induced by adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, or 5-fluorouracil in the maximum tolerated doses. The dynamics of changes in the content of granulomonocyte precursors in the bone marrow after cytostatic treatment was similar to that of erythroid precursors. Changes in the content of stromal mechanocytes were specific for each cytostatic. Different character of the reaction of the hemopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells to the test cytostatics was demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
