Summary
The effects on murine hemopoietic cell proliferation of hemoregulatory peptide 5b, a synthetic factor which inhibits granulopoiesis, have been studied in vivo by3H-thymidine labeling, cell cycle analyses by flow cytometry and total cell counts per femur.
Single injections of the peptide seemed to obliterate the normal circadian rhythm of bone marrow cell proliferation. By autoradiography, the main effect was an inhibition of myelopoietic cell proliferation, although erythropoiesis was also affected. This occurred in two ways: a) an immediate effect observed in the first 24 h after a single injection, and b) a delayed effect observed 6–12 days after a week of peptide infusion which could be a result of stem cell inhibition. A secondary accumulation of cells with G2 phase DNA content was seen regularly. Thus the hemoregulatory peptide seems to influence hemopoietic cell proliferation and has its main effect on myelopoiesis. However, inhibition is less marked than observed previously in stem cells.
