Defects in macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) signaling disrupt myeloid cell differentiation in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, blocking myeloid maturation into tolerogenic antigen-presenting cells (APCs). In the absence of M-CSF signaling, NOD myeloid cells have abnormally high granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) expression, and as a result, persistent activation of signal transducer/activator of transcription 5 (STAT5). Persistent STAT5 phosphorylation found in NOD macrophages is not affected by inhibiting GM-CSF. However, STAT5 phosphorylation in NOD bone marrow cells is diminished if GM-CSF signaling is blocked. Moreover, if M-CSF signaling is inhibited, GM-CSF stimulationin vitrocan promote STAT5 phosphorylation in nonautoimmune C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow cultures to levels seen in the NOD. These findings suggest that excessive GM-CSF production in the NOD bone marrow may interfere with the temporal sequence of GM-CSF and M-CSF signaling needed to mediate normal STAT5 function in myeloid cell differentiation gene regulation.

Abstract The effects of mouse L-cell interferon (IFN) on growth of mouse bone marrow cells and their differentiation into macrophages and granulocytes were investigated in a liquid suspension culture system with two different types of colony-stimulating factor (CSF). Within 7 days, most bone marrow cells differentiated into macrophages in the presence of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) derived from mouse fibroblast L929 cells, but into both granulocytes (40%) and macrophages (23%) in the presence of a granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor (GM-CSF) from mouse lung tissue. IFN inhibited growth of bone marrow cells with both M-CSF and GM-CSF, but had 20 times more effect on bone marrow cells stimulated with M-CSF than on those stimulated with GM-CSF. A low concentration of IFN (50 IU/ml) stimulated production of macrophages by GM-CSF in liquid culture medium, whereas it selectively inhibited colony formation of macrophages in semisolid agar culture. IFN caused no detectable block of late stages of differentiation; mature macrophages and granulocytes were produced even when cell proliferation was inhibited by IFN. These results indicate that IFN preferentially affects growth and differentiation of the cell lineage of macrophages among mouse bone marrow cells.

Abstract Abstract SCI-31 Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) represent an intrinsic part of myeloid cell lineage and comprised of myeloid progenitors and precursors of myeloid cells. In healthy host upon generation in bone marrow immature myeloid cells (IMC) quickly differentiate into mature granulocytes, macrophages, or dendritic cells. In a number of pathological conditions (cancer, various infections diseases, sepsis, trauma, bone marrow transplantation, autoimmune abnormalities) increased production of IMC is associated with partial block of their differentiation and most importantly pathological activation of these cells manifests in up-regulation of arginase, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and NO production, increased level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This results in expansion of IMC with immune suppressive activity. Accumulation of MDSC was detected in practically all mouse tumor models and in patients with different types of cancer. In mice, MDSCs are characterized by the co-expression of myeloid lineage differentiation antigen Gr1 and CD11b. In humans, MDSC are currently defined as CD14-CD11b+ cells or more narrowly as cells that express the common myeloid marker CD33 but lack the expression of markers of mature myeloid and lymphoid cells and the MHC class II molecule HLA-DR. Recently, the morphological heterogeneity of these cells in mice was defined more precisely based on the expression of cell-surface markers Ly6G and Ly6C. Granulocytic MDSCs have a CD11b+Ly6G+Ly6Clow phenotype, whereas MDSCs with monocytic morphology are CD11b+Ly6G-Ly6Chigh. These two subpopulations may have different functions. Accumulation of MDSC is caused by different soluble factors. Recent studies have demonstrated that factors implicated in regulating the expansion of MDSCs can be provisionally split into two main groups with partially overlapping activity. The first group includes factors that are produced primarily by tumor cells and promote the expansion of MDSC through myelopoiesis stimulation, which is associated with inhibition of myeloid-cell differentiation. These factors include stem-cell factor (SCF), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), IL-6, granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and others. Signalling pathways triggered by most of these factors in MDSCs converge on signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). One of the potential targets for STAT3 was recently identified as S100A8/A9 proteins. Accumulation of these proteins in myeloid progenitors prevents their differentiation and results in expansion of MDSC. The second group of factors are produced primarily by activated T cells and tumor stroma and directly activate MDSC. These factors, which include IFN gamma, IL-13, IL-4 and TGFβ, among others, activate several different signaling pathways in MDSCs that involve STAT6, STAT1, and NF-kB. Most studies have shown that the immune-suppressive function of MDSCs requires direct cell–cell contact, which indicates that they operate either through cell-surface receptors and/or through the release of short-lived soluble mediators. Currently, a number of clinical trials explores the possibility of regulating immune responses in cancer by depleting ot inactivating MDSC in cancer patients.

Abstract Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF ) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the fatal childhood disease termed juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). We used a severe combined immunodeficient/nonobese diabetic (SCID/NOD) mouse model of JMML and examined the effect of inhibiting these cytokines in vivo with the human GM-CSF antagonist and apoptotic agent E21R and the anti-TNFα monoclonal antibody (MoAb) cA2 on JMML cell growth and dissemination in vivo. We show here that JMML cells repopulated to high levels in the absence of exogeneous growth factors. Administration of E21R at the time of transplantation or 4 weeks after profoundly reduced JMML cell load in the mouse bone marrow. In contrast, MoAb cA2 had no effect on its own, but synergized with E21R in virtually eliminating JMML cells from the mouse bone marrow. In the spleen and peripheral blood, E21R eliminated JMML cells, while MoAb cA2 had no effect. Importantly, studies of mice engrafted simultaneously with cells from both normal donors and from JMML patients showed that E21R preferentially eliminated leukemic cells. This is the first time a specific GM-CSF inhibitor has been used in vivo, and the results suggest that GM-CSF plays a major role in the pathogenesis of JMML. E21R might offer a novel and specific approach for the treatment of this aggressive leukemia in man.

Impaired host defense post-bone marrow transplant (BMT) is related to overproduction of prostaglandin E2(PGE2) by alveolar macrophages (AMs). We show AMs post-BMT overproduce granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), whereas GM-CSF in lung homogenates is impaired both at baseline and in response to infection post-BMT. Homeostatic regulation of GM-CSF may occur by hematopoietic/structural cell cross talk. To determine whether AM overproduction of GM-CSF influenced immunosuppression post-BMT, we compared mice that received BMT from wild-type donors (control BMT) or mice that received BMT from GM-CSF−/− donors (GM-CSF−/− BMT) with untransplanted mice. GM-CSF−/− BMT mice were less susceptible to pneumonia with Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared with control BMT mice and showed antibacterial responses equal to or better than untransplanted mice. GM-CSF−/− BMT AMs displayed normal phagocytosis and a trend toward enhanced bacterial killing. Surprisingly, AMs from GM-CSF−/− BMT mice overproduced PGE2, but expression of the inhibitory EP2receptor was diminished. As a consequence of decreased EP2receptor expression, we found diminished accumulation of cAMP in response to PGE2stimulation in GM-CSF−/− BMT AMs compared with control BMT AMs. In addition, GM-CSF−/− BMT AMs retained cysteinyl leukotriene production and normal TNF-α response compared with AMs from control BMT mice. GM-CSF−/− BMT neutrophils also showed improved bacterial killing. Although genetic ablation of GM-CSF in hematopoietic cells post-BMT improved host defense, transplantation of wild-type bone marrow into GM-CSF−/− recipients demonstrated that parenchymal cell-derived GM-CSF is necessary for effective innate immune responses post-BMT. These results highlight the complex regulation of GM-CSF and innate immunity post-BMT.

Abstract The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF ) receptor is expressed on normal and malignant hematopoietic cells as well as on cells from other organs in which it transduces a variety of functions. Despite the widespread expression and pleiotropic nature of the GM-CSF receptor, little is known about its assembly and activation mechanism. Using a combination of biochemical and functional approaches, we have found that the human GM-CSF receptor exists as an inducible complex, analogous to the interleukin-3 (IL-3) receptor, and also as a preformed complex, unlike the IL-3 receptor or indeed other members of the cytokine receptor superfamily. We found that monoclonal antibodies to the GM-CSF receptor α chain (GMRα) and to the common β chain of the GM-CSF, IL-3, and IL-5 receptors (βc ) immunoprecipitated both GMRα and βc from the surface of primary myeloid cells, myeloid cell lines, and transfected cells in the absence of GM-CSF. Further association of the two chains could be induced by the addition of GM-CSF. The preformed complex required only the extracellular regions of GMRα and βc , as shown by the ability of soluble βc to associate with membrane-anchored GMRα or soluble GMRα. Kinetic experiments on eosinophils and monocytes with radiolabeled GM-CSF, IL-3, and IL-5 showed association characteristics unique to GM-CSF. Significantly, receptor phosphorylation experiments showed that not only GM-CSF but also IL-3 and IL-5 stimulated the phosphorylation of GMRα-associated βc . These results indicate a pattern of assembly of the heterodimeric GM-CSF receptor that is unique among receptors of the cytokine receptor superfamily. These results also suggest that the preformed GM-CSF receptor complex mediates the instantaneous binding of GM-CSF and is a target of phosphorylation by IL-3 and IL-5, raising the possibility that some of the biologic activities of IL-3 and IL-5 are mediated through the GM-CSF receptor complex.

Abstract Interactions between different cytokines, extracellular matrix components, and various cell types inside the bone marrow microenvironment are believed to play important roles in the regulation of hematopoiesis. We observed that both interleukin-1 (IL-1) and 12-O- tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) can stimulate the expression of IL-11 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) genes in a primate bone marrow stromal fibroblast cell line, PU-34. We also found that IL-1 or TPA-stimulated IL-11 and GM-CSF expression in PU-34 cells can be abolished by heparin, a class of molecules related to extracellular matrix components, glycosaminoglycans. Because the growth inhibitory signals provided by extracellular factors were less understood, the mechanisms of heparin inhibition of IL-11 and GM-CSF gene expression were further investigated. Our data demonstrate for the first time that heparin did not alter the transcription of endogenous IL-11 and GM-CSF genes or an exogenous IL-11 promoter construct containing an AP-1 sequence. Instead, heparin facilitated the degradation of the corresponding mRNAs. Through RNA gel shift assays, heparin-mediated mRNA destabilization was tentatively linked to its competition for mRNA binding proteins both in the cell-free system and in intact cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that varying degrees of heparin inhibition may provide a novel mechanism for the regulation of cytokine expression during the growth and differentiation of different lineages of hematopoietic cells.

Arginase I

l-Arginine transport is crucial for macrophage activation because it supplies substrate for the key enzymes nitric oxide synthase 2 and arginase I. These enzymes participate in classic and alternative activation of macrophages, respectively. Classic activation of macrophages is induced by type I cytokines, and alternative activation is induced by type II cytokines. The granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), in addition to inducing proliferation and differentiation of macrophages, activates arginase I, but its action on l-arginine transport is unknown. We studied the l-arginine transporters that are active in mouse primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) and examined the effect of GM-CSF treatment on transport activities. Under basal conditions, l-arginine entered mainly through system y+L (>75%). The remaining transport was explained by system y+ (<10%) and a diffusion component (10–15%). In response to GM-CSF treatment, transport activity increased mostly through system y+ (>10-fold), accounting for about 40% of the total l-arginine transport. The increase in y+ activity correlated with a rise in cationic amino acid transporter (CAT)-2 mRNA and protein. Furthermore, GM-CSF induced an increase in arginase activity and in the conversion of l-arginine to ornithine, citrulline, glutamate, proline, and polyamines. BMM obtained from CAT2-knockout mice responded to GM-CSF by increasing arginase activity and the expression of CAT1 mRNA, which also encodes system y+ activity. Nonetheless, the increase in CAT1 activity only partially compensated the lack of CAT2 and l-arginine metabolism was hardly stimulated. We conclude that BMM present mainly y+L activity and that, in response to GM-CSF, l-arginine transport augments through CAT2, thereby increasing the availability of this amino acid to the cell.
