Abstract:
Objective To observe the protective function of dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA) on hematopoietic in C57BL/6 mouse induced by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Methods Constructing the animal models with hematopoietic injury by 8.0 Gy 137Cs γ ray and cyclophosphamide respectively. Observe the changes of colony-forming unit-spleen(CFU-S), populations of peripheral WBC and bone marrow nucleated cells and index of spleen in all DHEA treated groups.
Results DHEA can reduce injury of 137Cs γ ray and cyclophosphamide induced hematopoietic function injury of C57BL/6 mouse. Compared with the blank control group, the DHEA group can significantly increase the number of peripheral blood leukocyte, bone marrow nucleated cells and CFU-S, and there is statistically difference between DHEA treated group and the blank control group. Index of spleen in the high dose group is higher than that in the blank control group.
Conclusion DHEA have protection function on hematopoietic in C57BL/6 mouse induced by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
