ABSTRACT: Hong Shan Capsule (HSC) offers radioprotection and modulates acute lethal total-body irradiation-induced alterations of gene expression in rats
Project description:Analysis of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC, Lineage-Sca-1+c-Kit+Flt3–CD34–). In order to better experiment, we treated mice with total body irradiation and local irradiation respectively. Next, the HSC were purified from the bone marrow of 8 weeks WT mice (Ctrl), total body radiation mice (IR), irradiated legs of locally irradiated mice (L_IR) and the other leg which unirradiated of locally irradiated mice (Ab_IR). Results provide the injury effect of IR on HSC under different conditions.

Project description:To elucidate the mechanism of the in vivo radioprotection activity of Zn-containing heat-treated Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (Zn-yeast), expression changes in bone marrow after whole body irradiation (WBI) with concomitant treatment of Zn-yeast were analyzed using microarray technology. Keywords: mouse, bone marrow, Zn-containing heat-treated yeast administration, gamma-irradiation
Project description:To elucidate the mechanism of the in vivo radioprotection activity of Zn-containing heat-treated Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (Zn-yeast), expression changes in bone marrow after whole body irradiation (WBI) with concomitant treatment of Zn-yeast were analyzed using microarray technology. Keywords: mouse, bone marrow, Zn-containing heat-treated yeast administration, gamma-irradiation Zn-yeast suspension was administered i.p. into C3H mice immediately after 7.5 Gy WBI. Bone marrow from irradiated mice was extracted at 6 hours after irradiation and analyzed by microarray containing of 44,000 probes.
Project description:A 2 Gy-total body irradiation (TBI) of WT mice induces a second wave of ROS and a second wave of apoptosis in hematopoietic stem cells starting from 6 days after irradiation. In CD169DTR/+ mice, which are depleted in CD169+ resident macrophages after a diphtheria toxin injection, these two waves do not occur and a total recovery of the LT-HSC pool is observed, contrarily to the LT-HSC pool from WT mice, which is decreased. Our goal is to understand why these secondary waves of apoptosis and ROS occur in LT-HSC from irradiated WT mice and not in LT-HSC from irradiated mice depleted in resident macrophages, allowing a recovery of the LT-HSC pool. We used microarrays to compare the global gene expression in LT-HSC isolated from WT and CD169DTR/+ mice 5 days after irradiation, i.e. just before both secondary waves of ROS and apoptosis occurred in WT mice.
Project description:Analysis of MHCII-high (MHCII-hi) and MHCII-low (MHCII-lo) hematopoietic stem cells (Lineage-Sca-1+c-Kit+CD150+Flt3-CD48-). The two population of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) were purified from the bone marrow of mice at 3 months post 5 Gy total body irradiation (IR). Results provide insight into the role of MHCII in HSC.
