Colony-stimulating factors as promoters of ameboid microglia.
Immunomodulators were tested for their ability to stimulate proliferation and biologic activity of ameboid microglia. Only the colony-stimulating factors (CSFs), multipotential-CSF (multi-CSF) and granulocyte/macrophage-CSF (GM-CSF), were potent mitogens for microglia. Other immunomodulators, including interleukin-1, interleukin-2, interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor, or granulocyte-CSF (G-...
متن کاملMyeloid Colony-Stimulating Factors as Regulators of Macrophage Polarization
The scope of functional heterogeneity in macrophages has been defined by two polarized end states known as M1 and M2, which exhibit the proinflammatory activities necessary for host defense and the tissue repair activities required for restoration of homeostasis, respectively. Macrophage populations in different tissue locations exist in distinct phenotypic states across this M1/M2 spectrum and...
متن کاملColony Stimulating Factors: Regulation of Production
Life span of mature blood cells is ephemeral, reqUIrIng hematopoiesis throughout life. A complex network of hematopoietic progenitor cells and cytokines maintain an enormous daily production of granulocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes, platelets, and lymphocytes. This population of hematopoietic cells must be able to respond rapidly to changing needs such as bleeding, infections, cancer, or exposu...
متن کاملCharacterization of ameboid microglia isolated from developing mammalian brain.
Ameboid microglia are isolated from the cerebral tissue of neonatal rat by selective cell adhesion to plastic. Histochemical markers show that the microglial preparations are homogeneous (95 +/- 3%) and represent a 10% yield from starting cultures. Isolated ameboid microglia contain nonspecific esterase activity, the macrophage surface antigens MAC-1 and MAC-3, and acetylated low-density lipopr...
متن کاملColony stimulating factors and macrophage heterogeneity
Macrophages or mononuclear phagocytes are heterogeneous populations present throughout the body which can adapt quite dramatically to the surrounding milieu, both in the steady state and during immune/inflammatory responses. To assist in our understanding of this diversity, they have been classified into polarization or “activation” states, termed M1 and M2, respectively. This in vitro classifi...
