Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the mobilization effect of HS6101 on hematopoietic cells of mice.
Methods: The normal ICR mice were injected subcutaneously once or twice with HS6101 at 9 µg/d/mouse, or a single dose of HS6101 3, 9, 27 and 81 µg/mouse was administrated, and the mobilization effect of HS6101 in different administration times and different dosage was observed, and compared with the synergistic effects of administration of single dose of HS6101 combined with rhG-CSF (2 µg/d/mouse was injected subcutaneously for 5 consecutive days). The peripheral blood cell counts of mice were detected at different time after administration. The hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells of bone marrow and peripheral blood were detected at day 5 and 10 after administration.
Results: There was no significant difference in peripheral blood cell counts after once or twice injections of HS6101 9 µg/mouse. The peripheral platelet counts dose-dependently increased in ICR mice, which accounted for 121.1% to 118.0%, 138.7% to 123.1%, 146.4% to 139.2%, and 156.2% to 168.7% (P < 0.001) after HS6101 (3, 9, 27 and 81 µg/mouse) treatments at 5 and 7 d, respectively. HS6101 (3, 9, 27 and 81 µg/mouse) showed dose-response relationship to platelets, with R value of 0.777 and 0.954 at day 5 and 7 after administration, respectively. HS6101 significantly increased numbers of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in both bone marrow and peripheral blood, and elevated peripheral blood leukocytes at 27 µg/mouse dose at day 5 after administration.
Conclusion: HS6101 has significant mobilization effect on hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, platelets and leukocytes in mouse.
