Effect of salidroside on bone marrow haematopoiesis in a mouse model of myelosuppressed anaemia.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of salidroside (SAL) on bone marrow haematopoiesis in a mouse model of myelosuppressed anemia. After the mouse model was established by 60Co γ irradiation and cyclophosphamide, pancytopenia and a sharp reduction in bone marrow stromal cells and bone marrow haematopoietic stem cells (lineage-Sca1+c-kit+) were observed. This was greatly alleviated by SAL (25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg) in a dose-dependent manner (50% effective dose value of 35.
