Abstract Pure murine colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) was assessed for its effects in vivo in mice pretreated seven days earlier with a sublethal dosage of cyclophosphamide. The multipotential (CFU-GEMM), erythroid (BFU-E), and granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) progenitor cells in these mice were in a slowly cycling or noncycling state. Intravenous administration of 20,000 units of CSF-1 to these mice stimulated the hematopoietic progenitors into a rapidly cycling state in the marrow and spleen within three hours. Significant increases in absolute numbers of marrow and spleen CFU-GM and spleen BFU-E and CFU-GEMM were also detected. No endotoxin was detected in the CSF-1 preparation by Limulus lysate assay, and treatment of CSF-1 at 100 degrees C for 20 to 30 minutes completely inactivated the in vitro and in vivo stimulating effects. The effects of CSF-1 were not mimicked by the in vivo administration of 0.1 to 10 ng Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide. These results suggest that the effects of CSF-1 in vivo were not due to contaminating endotoxin or to a nonspecific protein effect. CSF-1 did not enhance colony formation by BFU-E or stimulate colony formation by CFU-GEMM in vitro, thus suggesting that at least some of the effects of CSF-1 noted in vivo are probably indirect and mediated by accessory cells.

The activity of protein kinase C (PK-C) has been implicated in the regulation of the growth and differentiation of both normal and neoplastic hematopoietic cells. We have examined the effects of the PK- C-activating agents phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), mezerein, and bryostatin 1 on the proliferation and lineage commitment of CD34+ human myeloid progenitor cells stimulated by recombinant interleukin-3 (rIL- 3) and/or recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rGM-CSF). Although each of the PK-C activators administered alone induced no colony formation, coadministration of these agents with plateau concentrations of each cytokine (eg, 50 ng/mL) increased the number of day 14 granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units by 100% to 150%. The number of pure and mixed neutrophil and macrophage colonies was substantially enhanced in the presence of PK-C activators, whereas the percentage and, in most cases, the absolute number of eosinophilic colonies was significantly reduced. The inhibition of eosinophilic colony formation was not overcome by the addition of rIL-5. Although addition of bryostatin 1 24 hours before rIL-3 abrogated the increase in total colony formation observed with simultaneous administration of factors, the inhibition of eosinophilic colonies and the increase in neutrophil/macrophage colonies persisted under these conditions. The addition of bryostatin 1 for up to 144 hours after rIL-3 continued to potentiate total colony formation, whereas the inhibition of eosinophilic commitment was lost after 120 hours. Together, these results suggest that pharmacologic interventions at the level of PK-C may regulate both the proliferation as well as the lineage commitment of human hematopoietic progenitors exposed to rGM-CSF and rIL-3.

Abstract We performed a detailed kinetic study on the in vivo effect of a single subcutaneous dose of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF; 300 micrograms) in four healthy individuals on the expression and function of neutrophil Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma R). G-CSF did not induce Fc gamma RI (CD64) on circulating neutrophils. However, neutrophils newly formed in response to G-CSF were Fc gamma RI positive and were able to perform antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in an Fc gamma RI- dependent way. Fc gamma RII (CD32) expression was not changed significantly. Fc gamma RIII (CD16, phosphatidylinositol-linked) expression, slightly increased immediately (30 minutes) postinjection, was found to be strongly decreased on the newly formed population. For comparison, we studied the expression of the PI-linked proteins leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) and CD14. Intracellular levels of LAP mirrored the biphasic expression pattern as membrane-bound Fc gamma RIII. In contrast, CD14 expression on neutrophils was initially constant, followed by high levels on the newly formed neutrophils. Soluble CD14 levels were found to be elevated transiently, whereas peak levels of soluble Fc gamma III were observed as late as 6 days postinjection. In conclusion, we have shown that G-CSF results in an immunophenotypically and functionally altered neutrophil population for an important part as a result of its effect on myeloid precursor cells.

Steel factor (SLF) is a hematopoietic cytokine that synergizes with other growth factors to induce a greatly enhanced proliferative state of hematopoietic progenitor cells and factor-dependent cell lines. Even though the in vivo importance of SLF in the maintenance and responsiveness of stem and progenitor cells is well documented, the molecular mechanism involved in its synergistic effects are mainly unknown. Some factor-dependent myeloid cell lines respond to the synergistic proliferative effects of SLF plus other cytokines in a manner similar to that of normal myeloid progenitor cells from bone marrow and cord blood. We show here that SLF can synergize with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to induce an enhanced phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma gene product and a synergistic increase in the total intracellular protein level of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p21cip-1, which is correlated with a simultaneous decrease in p27kip-1 in the human factor-dependent myeloid cell line, M07e. Moreover, these cytokines synergize to increase p21cip- 1 binding and decrease p27kip-1 binding to cyclin-dependent kinase-2 (cdk2), an enzyme required for normal cell cycle progression; these inverse events correlated with increased cdk2 kinase activity. It is also shown that exogenous purified p21cip-1 can displace p27kip-1 already bound to cdk2 in vitro. These data implicate increased p21cip-1 and decreased p27kip-1 intracellular concentrations and their stoichiometric interplay in the enhanced proliferative status of cells stimulated by the combination of SLF and GM-CSF. In support of these findings, it is shown that hematopoietic progenitor cells from mice lacking p21cip-1 are defective in SLF synergistic proliferative response in vitro. Moreover, the cycling status of marrow and spleen progenitors and absolute numbers of marrow progenitors were significantly decreased in the p21cip-1 -/-, compared with the +/+ mice. We conclude that the cdk threshold regulators p21cip-1 and p27kip- 1 play a critical role in the normal mitogenic response of M07e cells and murine myeloid progenitor cells to these cytokines and particularly in the SLF synergistic proliferative response that is important to the normal maintenance of the stem/progenitor cell compartment.

Expansion of mature neutrophils has been observed in mice lacking the murine interleukin (IL) 8 receptor homolog [mIL-8Rh(-/-)], and human (hu) IL-8 suppresses proliferation of primitive myeloid cells in vitro and in vivo. To evaluate involvement and relevance of murine IL-8 receptor homolog (mIL-8Rh) in negative regulation of myelopoiesis, we studied mIL-8Rh(-/-) and (+/+) mice raised in a normal or germ-free environment. Immature myeloid progenitors from mIL-8Rh(+/+) mice bred under normal or germ-free conditions were significantly suppressed in vitro by recombinant huIL-8, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1 alpha, platelet factor (PF) 4, interferon inducible protein (IP) 10, monocyte chemotactic peptide (MCP) 1, and H-ferritin. In contrast, progenitors from mIL-8Rh(-/-) mice were insensitive to inhibition by IL-8, but not to these other chemokines and H-ferritin. Mouse MIP-2, a ligand for mIL-8Rh, suppressed progenitors from normal but not mIL-8Rh(-/-) mice. Under normal environmental conditions, enhanced numbers of myeloid progenitors were found in femur, spleen, and blood of mIL-8Rh(-/-) compared with mIL-8Rh(+/+) mice. Numbers of myeloid progenitors were greatly decreased in mIL-8Rh(-/-)and (+/+) mice in germ-free conditions, and were either not significantly enhanced in mIL-8Rh(-/-) mice compared with (+/+) mice or were only moderately so. Differences in progenitors/organ between a germ-free and normal environment were greater for the mIL-8Rh(-/-) mice. These results document selective insensitivity of myeloid progenitor cells from mIL-8Rh(-/-) mice to inhibition by huIL-8 and mouse MIP-2 and a large expansion of myeloid progenitors in these mice, the latter effect being environmentally inducible. This provides strong support for a negative myeloid regulatory role played by the mIL-8Rh in vivo, whose active ligand may be MIP-2.
