Experimental study on expression of GM-CSF, IL-3 from fetal thymocytes and splenocytes
Objective: To explore the effect of Angelica polysaccharide (APS) on the expression of GM-CSF and IL-3 from fetal thymocytes (FTC) and splenocytes (FSC). Methods: Techniques of hematopoietic progenitor cell culture in vitro
biological assay of hematopoietic growth factor (HGF)
immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization were used. Results: The conditioned media of FTC and FSC induced by APS can markedly promote the proliferation and differentiation of early multipotential progenitor cell (CFU-Mix);the expression of GM-CSF
IL-3 protein in FTC and FSC induced by APS were much stronger than that of the control; expression level of GM-CSF and IL-3mRNA showed similar tendency. Conclusion: APS promotes the expression of GM-CSF\IL-3 of FTC andFSC
then proceeds to promote early human hematopoiesis.
