hematopoietic system
• 2-fold increase in frequency
|
• 2-fold decrease in the bone marrow and spleen
• however, late subtypes of erythroid differentiation is normal
|
• however, the percentage of B220+ B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes are normal
|
• in the bone marrow
|
• enhanced egress from the bone marrow with reduced fibronectin adhesion
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice treated with 5-fluorouracil exhibit increased neutrophils likely due to increased hematopoietic stem cells but decreased colonies forming units (CFU-GEMM, combined number of CFU-GM, CFU-G and CFU-M, and BFU-E) in the bone marrow and hematocrit compared with wild-type mice

immune system
