title: [Prolonged stimulation of hematopoiesis in mice with chemotactic peptide N-f-met-leu-phe-gly incorporated into liposomes].
abstract: The experimental study of macrophage-activating chemotactic peptide N-f-met-leu-phe-gly (chemotaxic peptide), as well as its liposomal form, on the proliferation and migration of colony-forming precursor cells in mice was carried out. The study revealed that the subcutaneous injection of chemotaxic peptide into mice in a dose of 20 Mg led to a pronounced, but short-term increase in the proliferation of such precursor cells in the marrow: as shown by the hydroxyurea "suicide" method, a day after the injection almost 50% of hematopoietic stem cells entered the S-phase of the cellular cycle; in addition, an increase in the content of colony-forming precursor cells in the peripheral blood and the spleen was observed. The injection of chemotaxic peptide, incapsulated into liposomes, led to a considerable increase in the duration of the stimulating effect, manifested by the maintenance of a stable proliferative state of the pool of hematopoietic stem cells during 4 weeks (the term of observation). This effect could be attributed to the formation of the liposomal "depot" and the gradual liberation of chemotaxic peptide from it.
