Pharmacological and transcriptome profiling analyses of Fufang E'jiao Jiang during chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in mice

ConclusionFEJ has the hematopoietic effect in chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression mice. It might be achieved by improving the proliferative capacity of HSCs and the differentiation ability of HPCs. The molecular mode of action of FEJ might be the improvement of the bone marrow microenvironment via ECM-receptor interaction, the promoted proliferation of HSC through regulation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, and the involvement of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. MMP2 and COL1A1 appear to be the key relevant regulatory molecules. These results provide significant insight into the hematopoietic effects of FEJ in myelosuppression and point out novel targets for future validating analyses.Graphical abstract
