Myeloid cell kinetics in mice treated with pure hematopoietic growth factors have been investigated using tritiated thymidine labeling and autoradiography. Mice were injected subcutaneously with 125 micrograms/kg granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (in some cases 5 micrograms/kg), or 10 micrograms/kg of granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF), or interleukin-3 (IL-3) every 12 hours for 84 hours. 3HTdR labeling was performed in vivo after 3 days of treatment. G-CSF increased the peripheral neutrophil count 14-fold and increased the proportion and proliferation rate of neutrophilic cells in the marrow, suppressing erythropoiesis at the same time. Newly produced mature cells were released into the circulation within 24 hours of labeling, compared with a normal appearance time of about 96 hours. By contrast, GM-CSF and IL-3 had little effect on either marrow cell kinetics or on the rate of release of mature cells, although GM-CSF did stimulate a 50% increase in peripheral neutrophils. Monocyte production was also increased about eightfold by G-CSF and 1.5-fold by GM-CSF, but their peak release was only slightly accelerated. While the peripheral half- lives of the neutrophilic granulocytes were normal, those of the monocytes were dramatically reduced, perhaps due to sequestration in the tissues for functional purposes. The stimulated monocyte production in the case of G-CSF required an additional five cell cycles, a level that might have repercussions on the progenitor compartments.

Synergistic Increase

Abstract Recombinant rat stem cell factor (rrSCF) and recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) coinjected for 1 week in rats cause a synergistic increase in mature marrow neutrophils accompanied by a striking decrease in erythroid and lymphoid marrow elements. The spleens of the same rats show increased granulopoiesis as well as increased erythropoiesis as compared with the spleens of rats treated with either growth factor alone. Splenic extramedullary erythropoiesis may act to compensate for the decrease in marrow erythropoiesis. The coinjection of rrSCF and G-CSF causes an increase in marrow mast cells at the end of 1 week, but the increase is much less than in rrSCF-alone-treated rats. The combination of rrSCF and G- CSF increases the rate of release of marrow neutrophils into the circulation and causes a dramatic synergistic peripheral neutrophilia, beginning especially after 4 days of treatment. Colony-forming assays of all experimental groups showed a synergistic increase in colony- forming unit granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) in the marrow, but not in peripheral blood, after coincubation with SCF plus granulocyte- macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) as opposed to GM-CSF alone, showing anatomic compartmentalization between a more primitive marrow CFU-GM subset and a more mature peripheral blood CFU-GM subset. In vivo daily administration of SCF plus GM-CSF results in a synergistic increase in marrow neutrophils, but not the striking synergistic increase in circulating neutrophils that is observed with SCF plus G-CSF.

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 The number and growth factor requirements of committed progenitor cells (colony-forming units-granulocyte/macrophage and burst-forming units- erythroid) in three patients with cyclic neutropenia (two congenital, one acquired) were studied before and during therapy with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF; 3 to 10 micrograms/kg/d). When the patients with congenital disease were treated with G-CSF, the cycling of blood cells persisted, but the cycle length was shortened from 21 days to 14 days, and the amplitude of variations in blood counts increased. There was a parallel shortening of the cycle and increase of the amplitude of variations (from two- to three-fold to 10- to 100-fold) in the number of both types of circulating progenitor cells in these two patients. In the patient with acquired cyclic neutropenia, cycling of both blood cells and progenitors could not be seen. In cultures deprived of fetal bovine serum, erythroid and myeloid bone marrow progenitor cells from untreated patients and from normals differed in growth factor responsiveness. As examples, maximal growth of granulocyte/macrophage (GM) colonies was induced by granulocyte/macrophage (GM)-CSF plus G-CSF in the patients, whereas a combination of GM-CSF, G-CSF and interleukin- 3 (IL-3) was required in the normals, and erythropoietin alone induced fourfold more erythroid bursts from cyclic neutropenic patients than from normal donors (46% versus 11% of the maximal colony number, respectively). The growth factor responsiveness of marrow progenitor cells slightly changed during the treatment toward the values observed with normal progenitors. These results indicate that treatment with G- CSF not only ameliorated the neutropenia, but also increased the amplitude and the frequency of oscillation of circulating progenitor cell numbers. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that G-CSF therapy affects the proliferation of the hematopoietic stem cell.

Erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor (EPOR) are critical for definitive erythropoiesis, as mice lacking either gene product die during embryogenesis with severe anemia. Here we demonstrate that mice expressing just one functional allele of the EpoR have lower hematocrits and die more frequently than do wild-type littermates on anemia induction. Furthermore, EpoR+/−erythroid colony-forming unit (CFU-E) progenitors are reduced both in frequency and in responsiveness to EPO stimulation. To evaluate the interaction between EPO and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or interleukin 3 (IL-3),GM-CSF−/− orIL-3−/− mice were interbred withEpoR+/− mice. Deletion of either GM-CSF or IL-3 also leads to reduction in CFU-E numbers and hematocrits but does not significantly alter steady-state erythroid burst-forming unit numbers. These results suggest EpoR haploinsufficiency and promotion of in vivo erythropoiesis by GM-CSF and IL-3.

We have studied the effects of recombinant human granulocyte colony- stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), hG macrophage-CSF (hGM-CSF), and gibbon interleukin-3 (gIL-3) on cell proliferation and differentiation in human long-term bone marrow culture (LTBMC). hG-CSF induced a maximal increase of 2.3-fold in both total nonadherent cells and GM cluster- forming cells, but only an increase of 1.7-fold in GM-colony-forming cell (GM-CFC) numbers, influencing mainly neutrophil differentiation. Cultures treated with hGM-CSF demonstrated a peak of 12.8-, 21- and 3.2- fold elevations in total nonadherent cells, cluster, and GM-CFC, respectively, and influenced differentiation of neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, and lymphocytes. Cultures treated with gIL-3 demonstrated the largest expansion in the GM-CFC population, reaching a maximum of 5.3-fold in relation to that of unstimulated controls. IL-3 treatment also increased the numbers of GM clusters and mature cells (including all myeloid cells and lymphocytes) 7.8- and 4.8-fold, respectively. Similar quantitative and qualitative changes were induced by G-CSF, GM- CSF, and IL-3 in LTBMCs of patients in remission after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or Hodgkin's lymphoma. Overall, the expansion of GM progenitor cells in cultures treated with growth factors was larger in the adherent cell layer than in the nonadherent cell fraction. In addition, hGM-CSF, gIL-3, and hG-CSF to a less extent, increased the cycling rates of GM-CFC progenitors located in the adherent layer. These results indicate that hG-CSF is a much less potent stimulus of hematopoiesis in LTBMC than the other CSFs assayed, and that the increases in cell production after treatment with G-CSF, GM-CSF, or IL-3 may be achieved by primary expansion of different cell populations within the hierarchy of the hematopoietic system. The effects of the growth factors were transient and the longevity of hematopoiesis in the cultures was not altered, suggesting that treatment with IL-3, GM-CSF, or G-CSF had not compromised the ability of primitive cells to give rise to mature cells. This indicates that the stromal microenvironment in LTBMC can override potential differentiation-inducing activities of the CSFs.

To investigate the effect of recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor (rGM-CSF) on murine megakaryocytopoiesis in vitro, the factor was added to both serum-free colony assays and liquid marrow cultures. GM-CSF had a significant megakaryocytic colony-stimulating activity. After 2 hours of preincubation with and without 10 ng/mL rGM- CSF, the percentage of megakaryocyte colony-forming cell (CFU-MK) in DNA synthesis was determined by tritiated-thymidine suicide using colony growth. The reduction of CFU-MK colony numbers in marrow culture was 47.5% +/- 9.9%, 20.9% +/- 5.2% (control), respectively, indicating that the factor affected cell cycle at CFU-MK levels. When acetylcholinesterase (AchE) production was measured fluorometrically after 4 days of liquid culture, rGM-CSF elicited an increase in AchE activity in a dose-dependent fashion. To determine if the hematopoietin acts directly on megakaryocytic differentiation, 2 ng/mL rGM-CSF was added to serum-free cultures of 295 single megakaryocytes isolated from CFU-MK colonies. An increase in size was observed in 65% of cells initially 10 to 20 microns in diameter, 71% of cells 20 to 30 microns, and 40% of cells greater than 30 microns. Conversely, in absence of GM- CSF, 17%, 31%, and 10% of cells in each group increased in diameter. These data suggest that rGM-CSF promotes murine megakaryocytopoiesis in vitro and that the response to the factor is direct. To determine if the factor influences megakaryocytic/thrombocytic lineage in vivo, 1 and 5 micrograms of rGM-CSF were administered intraperitoneally every 12 hours for 6 consecutive days. Although a two- to three-fold increase in peripheral granulocytes was observed, neither megakaryocytic progenitor cells or platelets changed. Histologic analysis of bone marrow megakaryocytes showed no increase in size and number. The in vivo studies demonstrated no effect of GM-CSF on thrombocytopoiesis. The discrepancies between the in vitro and in vivo effects of GM-CSF require additional investigations.

Abstract Abstract 3789 Humanized mice, i.e. mice with a functional human immune system, have great potential to study human immunology in vivo and to allow vaccine testing. To this end, mice need to fully support engraftment with human immune cells, allow infection with human pathogens, and mount effective human immune responses to pathogens. A major limitation of current humanized mice is the poor development and function of human myeloid cells. Here we report a novel strategy to overcome this limitation by generating human interleukin-3/granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor knock-in (hIL-3/GM-CSF KI) mice to create a better environment for human myeloid cells. These mice faithfully expressed human GM-CSF and IL-3 and developed pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) due to elimination of mouse GM-CSF. We demonstrate that hIL-3/GM-CSF KI mice engrafted with human CD34+ hematopoietic cells had improved human myeloid cell reconstitution in the lung. In particular, hIL-3/GM-CSF KI mice supported the development of human alveolar macrophages that partially rescued the PAP syndrome. In addition, these mice showed an enhanced systemic inflammatory response to LPS. Finally, humanization of IL-3 and GM-CSF lead to a stronger innate immune response against influenza virus infection. In summary, hIL-3/GM-CSF KI mice represent a new mouse model to study human immune responses in the lung and against pathogens such as influenza.
