G-CSF and GM-CSF in Neutropenia.
G-CSF and GM-CSF are used widely to promote the production of granulocytes or APCs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved G-CSF (filgrastim) for the treatment of congenital and acquired neutropenias and for mobilization of peripheral hematopoietic progenitor cells for stem cell transplantation. A polyethylene glycol-modified form of G-CSF is approved for the treatment of neutropenias. ...
متن کاملGM-CSF action in the CNS decreases food intake and body weight.
Many proinflammatory cytokines, such as leptin, play key roles in dynamic regulation of energy expenditure and food intake. The present work tested a role for the proinflammatory cytokine GM-CSF. Central but not peripheral administration of GM-CSF to adult rats significantly decreased food intake and body weight for at least 48 hours. Similar results were observed following central administrati...
متن کاملGM-CSF regulation in eosinophils.
Allergic asthma is characterized by a temporally and quantitatively inappropriate immunologic response. One of the hallmarks of this response is the accumulation of eosinophils in the airway and lung parenchyma, which results in broncho-constriction, lung damage and, ultimately, fibrosis. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plays a pivotal role in this process by modulatin...
متن کاملPulmonary epithelial cell expression of GM-CSF corrects the alveolar proteinosis in GM-CSF-deficient mice.
Mutation of the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene by homologous recombination caused alveolar proteinosis in mice. To further discern the role of GM-CSF in surfactant homeostasis, the synthesis of GM-CSF was directed to the respiratory epithelium of GM-CSF-hull mutant mice (GM-/-) with a chimeric gene expressing GM-CSF under the control of the promoter from the huma...
متن کاملSurfactant metabolic consequences of overexpression of GM-CSF in the epithelium of GM-CSF-deficient mice.
Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a regulator of surfactant metabolism because GM-CSF-deficient mice have abnormally slow clearance and catabolism of saturated phosphatidylcholine (Sat PC) and surfactant protein (SP)-A in airspaces and lung tissue. Overexpression of GM-CSF only in respiratory epithelial cells of mice deficient in GM-CSF using the SP-C promotor (GM-/-,...
