Ionizing radiation (IR)-induced hematopoietic injury has become a global concern in the past decade. The underlying cause of this condition is a compromised hematopoietic reserve, and this kind of hematopoietic injury could result in infection or bleeding, in addition to lethal mishaps. Therefore, developing an effective treatment for this condition is imperative.

Objective: To investigate the effect and relative mechanism of Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin (rhTPO) on long-term hematopoietic recovery in mice with acute radiation sickness.

Methods: Mice were intramuscularly injected with rhTPO (100 μg/kg) 2 hours after total body irradiation with Co γ-rays (6.5 Gy).

Exposure to medium and high doses of ionizing radiation (IR) can induce long-term bone marrow (BM) suppression. We previously showed that recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) significantly promotes recovery from hematopoietic-acute radiation syndrome, but its effect on long-term BM suppression remains unknown. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 6.

Objective: To confirm the therapeutic effect of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) on rhesus monkeys irradiated with 5.0 Gy Co γ-ray, and provide experimental basis for clinical treatment of similar patients.

Methods: Fourteen adult rhesus monkeys were irradiated with Co γ-ray on both sides at the dose of 5.

Objective: To study the effect of interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene deletion on radiation-induced hematopoietic injury in mice and relative mechanism.

Methods: Before and after whole body Co γ-ray irradiation, it was analyzed and compared that the difference of peripheral hemogram, bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells conts in IL-6 gene knockout (IL-6) and wild-type (IL-6) mice and serum IL-6 and G-CSF expression levels in above- mentioned mouse were detected. Moreover, 30 days survival rate of IL-6 and IL-6 mice after 8.
