CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3), which is known to be expressed predominately on memory and activated T lymphocytes, is a receptor for both interferon γ (IFN-γ)–inducible protein 10 (γIP-10) and monokine induced by IFN-γ (Mig). We report the novel finding that CXCR3 is also expressed on CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors from human cord blood stimulated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) but not on freshly isolated CD34+ progenitors. Freshly isolated CD34+progenitors expressed low levels of CXCR3 messenger RNA, but this expression was highly up-regulated by GM-CSF, as indicated by a real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction technique. γIP-10 and Mig induced chemotaxis of GM-CSF–stimulated CD34+ progenitors by means of CXCR3, since an anti-CXCR3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was found to block γIP-10–induced and Mig-induced CD34+ progenitor chemotaxis. These chemotactic attracted CD34+ progenitors are colony-forming units—granulocyte-macrophage. γIP-10 and Mig also induced GM-CSF–stimulated CD34+ progenitor adhesion and aggregation by means of CXCR3, a finding confirmed by the observation that anti-CXCR3 mAb blocked these functions of γIP-10 and Mig but not of chemokine stromal cell–derived factor 1α. γIP-10–induced and Mig-induced up-regulation of integrins (CD49a and CD49b) was found to play a crucial role in adhesion of GM-CSF–stimulated CD34+progenitors. Moreover, γIP-10 and Mig stimulated CXCR3 redistribution and cellular polarization in GM-CSF–stimulated CD34+progenitors. These results indicate that CXCR3–γIP-10 and CXCR3–Mig receptor-ligand pairs, as well as the effects of GM-CSF on them, may be especially important in the cytokine/chemokine environment for the physiologic and pathophysiologic events of differentiation of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors into lymphoid and myeloid stem cells, subsequently immune and inflammatory cells. These processes include transmigration, relocation, differentiation, and maturation of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors.

Abstract Human monocytes differentiate into dendritic cells (DCs) or macrophages according to the nature of environmental signals. Monocytes stimulated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plus interleukin 4 (IL-4) yield DCs. We tested here whether interferon-γ (IFN-γ), a potent activator of macrophages, may modulate monocyte differentiation. Addition of IFN-γ to IL-4 plus GM-CSF–stimulated monocytes switches their differentiation from DCs to CD14−CD64+ macrophages. IFN-γ increases macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and IL-6 production by IL-4 plus GM-CSF–stimulated monocytes by acting at the transcriptional level and acts together with IL-4 to up-regulate M-CSF but not IL-6 production. IFN-γ also increases M-CSF receptor internalization. Results from neutralizing experiments show that both M-CSF and IL-6 are involved in the ability of IFN-γ to skew monocyte differentiation from DCs to macrophages. Finally, this effect of IFN-γ is limited to early stages of differentiation. When added to immature DCs, IFN-γ up-regulates IL-6 but not M-CSF production and does not convert them to macrophages, even in the presence of exogenous M-CSF. In conclusion, IFN-γ shifts monocyte differentiation to macrophages rather than DCs through autocrine M-CSF and IL-6 production. These data show that IFN-γ controls the differentiation of antigen-presenting cells and thereby reveals a new mechanism by which IFN-γ orchestrates the outcome of specific immune responses.

Blood Stage Malaria

ABSTRACT The contribution of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a hematopoietic and immunoregulatory cytokine, to resistance to blood-stage malaria was investigated by infecting GM-CSF-deficient (knockout [KO]) mice with Plasmodium chabaudi AS. KO mice were more susceptible to infection than wild-type (WT) mice, as evidenced by higher peak parasitemia, recurrent recrudescent parasitemia, and high mortality. P. chabaudiAS-infected KO mice had impaired splenomegaly and lower leukocytosis but equivalent levels of anemia compared to infected WT mice. Both bone marrow and splenic erythropoiesis were normal in infected KO mice. However, granulocyte-macrophage colony formation was significantly decreased in these tissues of uninfected and infected KO mice, and the numbers of macrophages in the spleen and peritoneal cavity were significantly lower than in infected WT mice. Serum levels of gamma interferon (IFN-γ) were found to be significantly higher in uninfected KO mice, and the level of this cytokine was not increased during infection. In contrast, IFN-γ levels were significantly above normal levels in infected WT mice. During infection, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels were significantly increased in KO mice and were significantly higher than TNF-α levels in infected WT mice. Our results indicate that GM-CSF contributes to resistance to P. chabaudi AS infection and that it is involved in the development of splenomegaly, leukocytosis, and granulocyte-macrophage hematopoiesis. GM-CSF may also regulate IFN-γ and TNF-α production and activity in response to infection. The abnormal responses seen in infected KO mice may be due to the lack of GM-CSF during development, to the lack of GM-CSF in the infected mature mice, or to both.

PURPOSE To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of 4'-epidoxorubicin (EPI) in combination with full dose of ifosfamide (IFO) when granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was used, to estimate its clinical efficacy, and to evaluate the mobilization of hematopoietic progenitors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Previously untreated advanced patients were treated with fixed doses of IFO at 1.8 g/m2/d for 5 days and escalating doses of EPI. The starting dose level of EPI was 50 mg/m2 bolus on days 1 and 2; subsequent levels were 60 mg/m2 and 70 mg/ m2 given on days 1 and 2. GM-CSF (5 micrograms/kg/d) was administered from days +6 to +19. Clinical evaluation of response was performed after three consecutive cycles. Mobilization of hematopoietic progenitors was evaluated as day 14 CFU-GM after the first cycle only. RESULTS Overall, six, 18, and 13 assessable patients were entered onto each EPI dose level, respectively. The first and the second EPI level were considered feasible. Conversely, at the third level, only six of 13 patients [46%] tolerated full EPI doses at the scheduled time. Therefore, the dose-intensity of the three levels was 100%, 99.7%, and 86.1%, respectively. Overall, 20 of 37 patients (54%) obtained an objective response. The response rates for the three EPI dose levels were significantly different [17%, 33%, and 100%, respectively; test for trend, P < .001]. Considering only lung metastases, the overall response rate was 72% (20%, 66%, and 100% for the three EPI levels, respectively). The most relevant mobilization effect was obtained at the third EPI level, when both GM-CSF and IL-3 were used as in vitro-stimulating factors. CONCLUSION The third EPI level (70 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2) is the MTD of this program, since it was administered, without dose reduction or treatment delay, for three consecutive cycles in less than half of the patients. Nevertheless, this level proved to be interesting with regard to response rate (13 of 13 objective responses) and in mobilization of the hematopoietic progenitors.

We analyzed the ability of interferon (IFN)-γ knockout mice (GKO) to reject a colon carcinoma transduced with interleukin (IL)-12 genes (C26/IL-12). Although the absence of IFN-γ impaired the early response and reduced the time to tumor onset in GKO mice, the overall tumor take rate was similar to that of BALB/c mice. In GKO mice, C26/IL-12 tumors had a reduced number of infiltrating leukocytes, especially CD8 and natural killer cells. Analysis of the tumor site, draining nodes, and spleens of GKO mice revealed reduced expression of IFN- inducible protein 10 and monokine induced by γ-IFN. Despite these defects, GKO mice that rejected C26/IL-12 tumor, and mice that were primed in vivo with irradiated C26/IL-12 cells, showed the same cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity but higher production of granulocyte/macrophage colony–stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as compared with control BALB/c mice. Treatment with monoclonal antibodies against GM-CSF abrogated tumor regression in GKO but not in BALB/c mice. CD4 T lymphocytes, which proved unnecessary or suppressive during rejection of C26/IL-12 cells in BALB/c mice, were required for tumor rejection in GKO mice. CD4 T cell depletion was coupled with a decline in GM-CSF expression by lymphocytes infiltrating the tumors or in the draining nodes, and with the reduction and disappearance of granulocytes and CD8 T cells, respectively, in tumor nodules. These results suggest that GM-CSF can substitute for IFN-γ in maintaining the CD8–polymorphonuclear leukocyte cross-talk that is a hallmark of tumor rejection.

PURPOSE We compared hematologic and clinical effects of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) after treatment with high-dose cyclophosphamide (HD-CTX, 7 g/m2), given as the first phase of a high-dose sequential chemotherapy program that includes a myeloablative therapy with mobilized progenitor cell autografting. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-nine consecutive patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, or poor-prognosis breast cancer received GM-CSF (n = 27) or G-CSF (n = 22) after HD-CTX in two consecutive, nonrandomized studies. Cytokines were administered in continuous intravenous (i.v.) infusion for 14 to 15 days at a median dose of 5.5 and 10 micrograms/kg/d, respectively, starting 24 hours after HD-CTX. RESULTS Neutrophil recovery was faster with G-CSF administration (11.5 v 13.2 days; P = .01), whereas platelet counts recovered more rapidly with GM-CSF (13.7 v 16.6 days; P = .01). Prophylactic platelet transfusions were administered more frequently to patients treated with G-CSF than with GM-CSF (66% v 22% of the patients; P = .02). No clinically significant difference was observed between the two groups concerning days of absolute neutropenia or neutropenic fever. Both cytokines reduced the time to eligibility for subsequent chemotherapy administration compared with historical controls not given cytokine (14 to 16 v 20 days). Both cytokines increased circulation of hematopoietic progenitors. Most side effects were World Health Organization (WHO) median grade 1 to 2, were more frequent during GM-CSF than during G-CSF treatment, and were reversible by simple supportive measures and/or by dose reduction or suspension of the cytokine. Permanent suspension of cytokine administration was never required in either group. CONCLUSION GM-CSF or G-CSF administration after HD-CTX reduces hematologic toxicity of high-dose chemotherapy and induces circulation of large amounts of hematopoietic progenitors suitable for autografting in cancer patients.

ObjectiveTo study the immunomodulatory effect of dimethyl fumarate (DF) on granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) production in CD4+ T cells in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).MethodsWe collected splenocytes and CD4+ T cells from C57BL/6 wild-type and interferon (IFN)-γ–deficient mice. For human PBMCs, venous blood was collected from healthy donors, and PBMCs were collected using the Percoll gradient method. Cells were cultured with anti-CD3/28 in the presence/absence of DF for 3 to 5 days. Cells were stained and analyzed by flow cytometry. Cytokines were measured by ELISA in cell supernatants. For in vivo experiments, EAE was induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein35–55 and mice were treated with oral DF or vehicle daily.ResultsDF acts directly on CD4+ T cells and suppresses GM-CSF–producing Th1 not Th17 or single GM-CSF+ T cells in EAE. In addition, GM-CSF suppression depends on the IFN-γ pathway. We also show that DF specifically suppresses Th1 and GM-CSF–producing Th1 cells in PBMCs from healthy donors.ConclusionsWe suggest that DF exclusively suppresses GM-CSF–producing Th1 cells in both animal and human CD4+ T cells through an IFN-γ–dependent pathway. These findings indicate that DF has a better therapeutic effect on patients with Th1-dominant immunophenotype. However, future longitudinal study to validate this finding in MS is needed.
