Normal as well as hypertransfused BDF1 mice were exposed to 300 ppm of benzene, 6 h/day, 5 days per week for 2, 4, and 6 weeks respectively. Erythroid-committed hematopoietic progenitor cells CFU-E were determined in the bone marrow, and 59Fe incorporation was measured in the peripheral blood 48 h after its injection, as an indicator of active erythroid cell production. CFU-E numbers were reduced in benzene-exposed mice at all intervals, as was 59Fe incorporation in the peripheral blood after 2 weeks of exposure. In hypertransfused mice the CFU-E suppression, caused primarily by the hypertransfusion, was aggravated by benzene. After injection of 1 IU Ep 4 days before killing the CFU-E numbers and the 59Fe incorporation increased in controls as well as in benzene-exposed animals, but the difference persisted. After nine consecutive Ep injections the difference concerning the femur disappeared after 2 and 6 weeks of benzene exposure but was still present in the peripheral blood. These results suggest that chronic benzene exposure has a negative effect on early erythroid-committed, Ep-responsive hematopoietic cells.
