摘　　要：Objective：To investigate the potential efficacy of panaxadiol saponins component（PDS-C）,a biologically active fraction isolated from total ginsenosides,to reverse chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression and pancytopenia caused by cyclophamide（CTX）.Methods：Mice with myelosuppression induced by CTX were treated with PDS-C at a low-（20 mg/kg）,moderate-（40 mg/kg）,or high-dose（80 mg/kg） for 7 consecutive days.The level of peripheral white blood cell（WBC）,neutrophil（NEU） and platelet（PLT） were measured,the histopathology and colony formation were observed,the protein kinase and transcription factors in hematopoietic cells were determined by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.Results：In response to PDS-C therapy,the peripheral WBC,NEU and PLT counts of CTX-induced myelosuppressed mice were significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner.Similarly,bone marrow histopathology examination showed reversal of CTX-induced myelosuppression with increase in overall bone marrow cellularity and the number of hematopoietic cells（P〈0.01）.PDS-C also promoted proliferation of granulocytic and megakaryocyte progenitor cells in CTX-treated mice,as evidenced by significantly increase in colony formation units-granulocytes/monocytes and-megakaryocytes（P〈0.01）.The enhancement of hematopoiesis by PDS-C appears to be mediated by an intracellular signaling pathway,this was evidenced by the up-regulation of phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinase（p-MEK） and extracellular signal-regulated kinases（p-ERK）,and receptor tyrosine kinase（C-kit） and globin transcription factor 1（GATA-1） in hematopoietic cells of CTX-treated mice（P〈0.05）.Conclusions：PDS-C possesses hematopoietic growth factor-like activities that promote proliferation and also possibly differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in myelosuppressed mice,probably mediated by a mechanism involving MEK and ERK protein kinases,and C-kit and GATA-1 transcription factors.PDS-C may potentially bObjective：To investigate the potential efficacy of panaxadiol saponins component（PDS-C）,a biologically active fraction isolated from total ginsenosides,to reverse chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression and pancytopenia caused by cyclophamide（CTX）.Methods：Mice with myelosuppression induced by CTX were treated with PDS-C at a low-（20 mg/kg）,moderate-（40 mg/kg）,or high-dose（80 mg/kg） for 7 consecutive days.The level of peripheral white blood cell（WBC）,neutrophil（NEU） and platelet（PLT） were measured,the histopathology and colony formation were observed,the protein kinase and transcription factors in hematopoietic cells were determined by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.Results：In response to PDS-C therapy,the peripheral WBC,NEU and PLT counts of CTX-induced myelosuppressed mice were significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner.Similarly,bone marrow histopathology examination showed reversal of CTX-induced myelosuppression with increase in overall bone marrow cellularity and the number of hematopoietic cells（P〈0.01）.PDS-C also promoted proliferation of granulocytic and megakaryocyte progenitor cells in CTX-treated mice,as evidenced by significantly increase in colony formation units-granulocytes/monocytes and-megakaryocytes（P〈0.01）.The enhancement of hematopoiesis by PDS-C appears to be mediated by an intracellular signaling pathway,this was evidenced by the up-regulation of phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinase（p-MEK） and extracellular signal-regulated kinases（p-ERK）,and receptor tyrosine kinase（C-kit） and globin transcription factor 1（GATA-1） in hematopoietic cells of CTX-treated mice（P〈0.05）.Conclusions：PDS-C possesses hematopoietic growth factor-like activities that promote proliferation and also possibly differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in myelosuppressed mice,probably mediated by a mechanism involving MEK and ERK protein kinases,and C-kit and GATA-1 transcription factors.PDS-C may potentially b
