Marrow fibroblast colony formation was studied in patients with myeloproliferative disorders, using human serum or platelet-derived growth factor plus plasma-derived serum as growth-stimulating factors. Colony numbers negatively correlated with the patient's age, but were not different from those of controls. However, both maximum and average cell numbers per colony were significantly increased in patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) as compared to controls. These results suggest that fibroblast colony-forming cells with high sensitivity to human serum mitogen(s) exist in a CML bone marrow. These may possibly be involved in one of the mechanism concerned with promoting fibrosis in this disease.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008934 Mitogens Substances that stimulate mitosis and lymphocyte transformation. They include not only substances associated with LECTINS, but also substances from streptococci (associated with streptolysin S) and from strains of alpha-toxin-producing staphylococci. (Stedman, 25th ed) Mitogen,Phytomitogen,Phytomitogens
D010982 Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Mitogenic peptide growth hormone carried in the alpha-granules of platelets. It is released when platelets adhere to traumatized tissues. Connective tissue cells near the traumatized region respond by initiating the process of replication. Platelet Derived Growth Factor,Factor, Platelet-Derived Growth,Growth Factor, Platelet-Derived

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
