Effect of dimethyl sulfoxide on hematopoietic stem cells in mice. 1980

N Prasad, and R Prasad, and J I Thornby, and S C Bushong, and P T Hudgins, and J E Harrell

The effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were studied in irradiated BALB/c mice to see if DMSO has a stimulatory effect on hematopoietic stem cells. The spleen colony forming technique was employed. DMSO given after a lethal dose of radiation enhanced post-irradiation recovery and survival. The erythroid to granuloid spleen colony ratio was higher in the DMSO treated group compared to the controls. There was some evidence of an increase in the endogenous formation of erythroid colonies after DMSO treatment (0.38%). However, DMSO had no effect on exogenous erythroid colony formation; rather, it inhibited granuloid differentiation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).

D004121 Dimethyl Sulfoxide A highly polar organic liquid, that is used widely as a chemical solvent. Because of its ability to penetrate biological membranes, it is used as a vehicle for topical application of pharmaceuticals. It is also used to protect tissue during CRYOPRESERVATION. Dimethyl sulfoxide shows a range of pharmacological activity including analgesia and anti-inflammation.
