    Abstract:
    The effects of indomethacin (6 mg/kg daily, orally, for 4 days) or cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg, a single dose, intraperitoneally) on myelopoiesis were studied in mice. A hyperplasia of the committed stem cell compartment (rise in the recognizable myeloid precursors, increase of both colony forming capacity and number of CFU-GM in S-phase) associated to an increase of cyclic AMP and GMP amounts in bone marrow cells of treated mice were observed. These results suggest a possible relationship between the in vitro enhancement of proliferative activity of CFU-GM and the in vivo increase of both cyclic nucleotide levels in medullary environment.
