[Hematopoietic organs in mice following a single administration of hydrocortisone]. 1979

V N Shvets, and V V Portugalov

Kinetics of the number and direction of CFU differentiating in mice after a single infusion of hydrocortisone in a dose of 5 mg per mouse was studied using the method of an exogenous cloning of the stem cells in the spleen and the bone marrow of the irradiated recipients. Against the background of the long-term involution of the thymicolymphoid apparatus a change of the number and direction of the CFU differentiating occurred. Along with this, CFU concentration in the spleen and bone marrow of mice remained constant. Under the hormone action CFU differentiating capacity in the spleen and bone marrow in the direction of erythro- and myelopoiesis sharply changes; CFU of the bone marrow behaves as CFU of the spleen, and CFU of the spleen behaves as CFU of the bone marrow of normal mice. It is suggested that the described effects of the CFU of the spleen and bone marrow of mice given hydrocortisone were due to the redistribution of T-lymphocytes and not to direct cytotoxic effect of hydrocortisone on the CFU population.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007274 Injections, Intraperitoneal Forceful administration into the peritoneal cavity of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through a hollow needle piercing the abdominal wall. Intraperitoneal Injections,Injection, Intraperitoneal,Intraperitoneal Injection
D008198 Lymph Nodes They are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the lymphatic system. Lymph Node,Node, Lymph,Nodes, Lymph
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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013154 Spleen An encapsulated lymphatic organ through which venous blood filters.
D013950 Thymus Gland A single, unpaired primary lymphoid organ situated in the MEDIASTINUM, extending superiorly into the neck to the lower edge of the THYROID GLAND and inferiorly to the fourth costal cartilage. It is necessary for normal development of immunologic function early in life. By puberty, it begins to involute and much of the tissue is replaced by fat.
