Abstract

There has been considerable interest in using hormone replacement therapy to rejuvenate the involuted thymus during aging. GH and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), a mediator of GH actions, have been of particular interest because of their thymopoietic effects and the fact that their serum concentrations decline during aging. However, treatment of aging rodents with either GH or IGF-I does not restore thymus cellularity to levels present in young animals, suggesting that additional defects might limit the magnitude of their effects. In particular, deficiencies have been reported to accumulate in the bone marrow T cell precursor compartment during aging. In view of this, 18-month-old mice were administered either recombinant IGF-I, bone marrow cells from young mice, or a combination of IGF-I and young bone marrow cells. Thymus cellularity in the latter group of mice was significantly higher than in animals treated with hormone or bone marrow transplantation alone, suggesting that optimal therapies for restoring thymus cellularity must address both endocrine and hematopoietic defects that accumulate during aging. Results from in vitro studies using fetal thymic organ cultures suggest that IGF-I acts by potentiating thymic colonization by bone marrow T cell precursors and/or that the hormone affects some other event soon after thymus colonization.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
