Effect of angelica polysaccharide on bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 on the surface of stromal cells in mice / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Angelica polysaccharide has the function of enriching blood and promoting blood circulation, but how to improve the hematopoietic microenvironment and promote hematopoiesis has become one of the hot topics. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of angelica polysaccharide on Sca-1+, CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 level in bone marrow stromal cells in mice. METHODS:Mouse models of hemorrhagic anemia were made and then randomly divided them into control group, low-concentration angelica polysaccharide group and high-concentration angelica polysaccharide group. Angelica polysaccharide groups were intraperitoneally injected with the corresponding concentration of angelica polysaccharide (4, 6 mg/kg) for continuous 6 days, while the control group was injected with equal amount of normal saline. General conditions of the model mice were observed. Peripheral blood red cells were counted by automatic blood cell analyzer. Bone marrow hematopoietic stem cels were counted by magnetic bead sorting technique and flow cytometry. Proliferation of bone marrow stromal cells was detected by MTT method. Expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in bone marrow stromal cells was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Angelica polysaccharide had no obvious effect on the body mass of hemorrhagic anemia mice (P > 0.05). The number of peripheral blood cells, the percentage of bone marrow CD34+ and Sca-1+ cells, the number of bone marrow stromal cells and the level of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 were ranked as follows high-concentration group > low-concentration group > control group (P < 0.05). To conclude, angelica polysaccharide could promote the proliferation of bone marrow stromal cells and increase the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1, thereby promoting the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and regulating their functional activities.
