The influence of lithium chloride on the proliferation of normal granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM) and clonogenic blasts (CFU-L) from patients with acute myeloid leukaemia in the semisolid cultures in vitro was investigated. It was observed that while lithium chloride with the concentration of 2 mmol/l increases the number of CFU-GM colonies, it does not increase the number of CFU-L colonies and clusters. Our studies indicate that lithium salts can be used for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia after intensive chemotherapy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008094 Lithium An element in the alkali metals family. It has the atomic symbol Li, atomic number 3, and atomic weight [6.938; 6.997]. Salts of lithium are used in treating BIPOLAR DISORDER. Lithium-7,Lithium 7
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
