Osteocytes are the most abundant (90% to 95%) cells in bone and have emerged as an important regulator of hematopoiesis, but their role in neutrophil development and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Interleukin 19 (IL-19) produced predominantly by osteocytes stimulated granulopoiesis and neutrophil formation, which stimulated IL-19 receptor (IL-20Rβ)/Stat3 signaling in neutrophil progenitors to promote their expansion and neutrophil formation. Mice with constitutive activation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex (mTORC1) signaling in osteocytes (Dmp1-Cre) exhibited a dramatic increase in IL-19 production and promyelocyte/myelocytic expansion, whereas mTORC1 inactivation in osteocytes reduced IL-19 production and neutrophil numbers in mice.

Aplastic anemia, life-threatened disease, is a hematologic disorder characterised by bone marrow hypoplasia. Multiple modalities such as bone marrow transplantation and immunosuppression treatment have been proposed to ameliorate this entity, however it remains ineffective. , a group of herb plants, possesses a broad spectrum of medicinal properties such as antioxidant, insulin-like activity, anticancer and antiviral.

Chloramphenicol (CAP), a board spectrum antibiotic widely used in many developing countries, has toxic side effects on bone marrow, the most serious of which is aplastic anemia. Recent studies suggest that effects of CAP on suppressing hematopoietic colony formation may be abrogated by antioxidants. In addition, there is preliminary evidence that CAP induces apoptosis in hemopoietic stem cells, leading to aplastic anemia.

1. Chloramphenicol has been widely used in the treatment of serious infections including typhoid fever and meningitis. However, the drug is haemotoxic in man inducing firstly, a reversible, dose-dependent anaemia which develops during treatment, secondly, an often fatal aplastic anaemia with pancytopenia and acellular marrow, and thirdly, leukaemia.

Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that consistently suppresses the bone marrow and induces sideroblastic anemia. It is also a rare cause of aplastic anemia. These toxicities are thought to be related to mitochondrial dysfunction, since chloramphenicol inhibits mitochondrial protein synthesis.
