The effects of single subcutaneous injection of cadmium chloride on haemopoiesis in normal (non-irradiated) or irradiated mice were investigated. Cadmium doses used ranged from 1-8 mg/kg body weight Twenty-four hours after treatment with cadmium (doses from 3 to 8 mg/kg) there were no significant changes in bone marrow cellularity and the granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cell (GM-CFC) number per femur in non-irradiated female ICR mice. Similarly, during the 30-day postinjection period bone marrow cellularity and marrow GM-CFC number in mice treated with a cadmium dose of 5 mg/kg were not significantly different from the control values. Cadmium significantly reduced the lethal effects of gamma rays. In addition, increasing the doses of cadmium administered 24 h prior to sublethal irradiation increased the number of endogenous haemopoietic stem cells (endoCFU-S) in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment with cadmium also decreased the radiation damage to endoCFU-S and haemopoietic progenitor cells committed to granulocyte/macrophage development (GM-CFC). The survival of stem cells was higher and the regeneration of cellularity and GM-CFC of irradiated bone marrow was accelerated in mice pretreated with 5 mg Cd/kg body weight in comparison with saline-injected mice.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D002104 Cadmium An element with atomic symbol Cd, atomic number 48, and atomic weight 112.41. It is a metal and ingestion will lead to CADMIUM POISONING.
D005260 Female Females
D005720 Gamma Rays Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
