Parathyroid hormone mediates hematopoietic cell expansion through interleukin-6.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates hematopoietic cells through mechanisms of action that remain elusive.Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is upregulated by PTH and stimulates hematopoiesis.The purpose of this investigation was to identify actions of PTH and IL-6 in hematopoietic cell expansion.Bone marrow cultures from C57B6 mice were treated with fms-like ty
