PG - 1459-66 AB - BACKGROUND: We investigated the effects of ovarian allograft in conjunction with intra-bone marrow-bone marrow transplantation (IBM-BMT) on estrogen deficiency in mice. METHODS: Female C57BL/6 mice underwent ovariectomy (OvX). After 3 months, the mice were irradiated at 9.5 Gy, and the bone marrow cells (BMCs) of female BALB/c mice (8 weeks old) were then injected into the bone cavity of the B6 mice. Simultaneously, allogeneic ovaries from BALB/c mice were transplanted under the renal capsules of the B6 mice. RESULTS: Three months after the transplantation, the hematolymphoid cells were found to be completely reconstituted with donor-derived cells. The transplanted ovary tissues under the renal capsules were accepted without using immunosuppressants; there were a large number of growing follicles at different stages of development. Atrophic endometrium and its glands were also recovered by ovarian transplantation (OT). The transplanted allogeneic ovaries secreted estrogen at normal levels. Furthermore, bone loss was prevented to a certain extent. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that IBM-BMT+OT will become a valuable strategy for young women with malignant tumors to prevent premature senescence, including hypogonadism and osteoporosis, after radiochemotherapy.
