Abstract Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) enhanced superoxide release and membrane depolarization in parallel in human granulocytes stimulated by the receptor-mediated agonists, N- formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine and wheat germ agglutinin, but not by the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin and phorbol myristate acetate, which bypass the receptors to stimulate the cells. The optimal effect was obtained by pretreatment of cells with 25 to 50 ng/mL (1.3 to 2.6 nmol/L) rhG-CSF for 10 minutes at 37 degrees C. rhG-CSF produced by bacteria and mammalian cells had identical biological effects on a molar basis. rhG-CSF neither affected stimulus-induced increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ nor changed the number and affinity of N-formyl- methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine receptors. The priming effect of rhG-CSF was temperature dependent and did not require new protein synthesis. rhG-CSF increased the expression of C3bi receptors on human granulocytes and enhanced granulocyte adherence to nylon fiber. The optimal effect was obtained by pretreatment of cells with 25 to 50 ng/mL rhG-CSF for 30 minutes at 37 degrees C. rhG-CSF had no effect on human monocytes. These findings demonstrate that rhG-CSF can selectively stimulate mature granulocyte functions.

To understand the effects of v-myb expression on mammalian hematopoietic cell differentiation, we have constructed a retroviral vector which can efficiently express v-myb gene product in mammalian cells. Infection of interleukin-3-dependent murine progenitor cell line 32D Cl3, which undergoes terminal differentiation to mature granulocytes in the presence of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF), with this recombinant retrovirus does not abrogate its requirement of interleukin-3 for growth. However, expression of v-myb in these cells blocks their ability to differentiate in response to GCSF. Instead, the v-myb-infected cells proliferate indefinitely in the presence of GCSF. 32D Cl3 cells infected with empty vector carrying only the neomycin resistance gene responded to the addition of GCSF in a manner identical to that of the uninfected cells and underwent terminal differentiation into granulocytes. These results suggest that oncogenic forms of myb gene bring about transformation by blocking the differentiation signal derived by cytokines while promoting the proliferative signal transduction pathways.

A decrease in responsiveness to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of cyclic hematopoiesis. Using the canine model of cyclic neutropenia, we examined the response of neutrophil precursors to G-CSF in vitro and G- CSF receptor expression in neutrophils from grey collie dogs to determine whether the abnormal response observed to G-CSF in vivo in this disorder is present at the level of the progenitor cell and is caused by defective G-CSF receptor expression. Bone marrow mononuclear cells from grey collie dogs required sevenfold higher G-CSF concentrations than normal dog cells to achieve half-maximal colony growth [56 pmol/L v 8 pmol/L). Receptor binding assays with 125I- labeled G-CSF and Scatchard analyses of the equilibrium binding data were consistent with expression of a single class of high-affinity receptors for G-CSF on neutrophils from both normal dogs and grey collies with similar receptor numbers (56 to 446 sites/cell v 78 to 199 sites/cell) and binding affinities (28 to 206 pmol/L v 84 to 195 pmol/L). Chemical cross-linking studies identified a G-CSF binding protein of approximately 120 kD on neutrophils from grey collies, similar in size to that on normal dog neutrophils. No abnormal G-CSF receptor mRNA transcripts were detected in neutrophils from grey collie dogs by Northern blot analysis. Treatment of both normal and grey collie neutrophils with G-CSF rapidly induced tyrosine phosphorylation of an 80-kD protein that behaved like canine c-rel. These results demonstrate that the abnormal responsiveness to G-CSF in canine cyclic hematopoiesis is present in neutrophil precursors and is not associated with demonstrable alterations in the number, binding affinity, or overall size of the G-CSF receptor in neutrophils, or with defective tyrosine phosphorylation of p80. These data suggest that cyclic hematopoiesis is caused by a defect in the G-CSF signal transduction pathway at a point distal to G-CSF receptor binding that does not involve the early biochemical events leading to p80 tyrosine phosphorylation.
