Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) plays a critical role in the regulation of endothelial cell survival and vascular maturation and stability. However, its role in hematopoiesis is not clear. Here, we determined effect of Ang-1 on the recovery of hematopoiesis in radiated mice. By injecting an Ang-1 plasmid, we found that Ang-1 was preferentially expressed in bone marrow (BM) of femur from radiated mice. This injection resulted in elevated blood counts and serum VEGF level. The blockade in S phase of cell cycle in mouse BM stromal cells following radiation was attenuated by injection of Ang-1 plasmid. In addition, injection of Ang-1 plasmid attenuated the radiation-mediated inhibition of Tie2 expression. Furthermore, through analyzing Notch1 expression, we found that injection of Ang-1 plasmid increased Notch mRNA expression in radiated mice. In conclusion, these findings suggest that Ang-1 facilitates the recovery of hematopoiesis in radiated mice with the involvement of Notch signaling pathway.
