From: NOS2 deficiency has no influence on the radiosensitivity of the hematopoietic system
NOS2 knockout did not influence the IR-induced HSC function decrease. NOS2−/− mice and WT mice exposure to 6 Gy irradiation. The bone marrow cells were harvested and planted on the FBMD1 stromal cells. The clonogenic function of HPCs and HSCs in BM-MNCs was measured after 2 and 5 weeks, respectively. The CAFCs were calculated in 105 BMCS. A The number of CAFCs at week 2. B The number of CAFCs at week 5; the results are presented as the mean ± SE. aP < 0.05 vs. 0 Gy (n = 4)
