Improvement in Development and Quality of 8 Cell Mouse Embryos in Presence of Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor

Purpose: Granulose Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) is a lympho- heamatopoietic actor, secreted in the reproductive system. Murine pre- implantation embryos express GM-CSF receptors. In his study, the capacity of eight cell mouse embryos was studied in the presence and absence of GM-CSF. Materials and Methods: Female NMRI mice were super ovulated using Pregnant Mare Serum gonadotr...

Cytosine arabinoside reduces the numbers of granulocyte macrophage colony forming cells (GM-CFC) and high proliferative potential colony forming cells (HPP-CFC) in vivo in mice.

BACKGROUND Cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) is an S-phase specific cytotoxic drug used in the treatment of malignancies. It is converted to Cytosine Arabinoside triphosphate (Ara-CTP) in the cell. Cytosine Arabinoside triphosphate, reversibly displaces deoxy cytidine triphosphate from DNA polymerase for incorporation into DNA. This process leads to cell death. OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vivo...

Radiosensitivity of macrophage colony-forming cells-implications for their heterogeneity.

We compared the radiosensitivity of macrophage (M) colony-forming cell (CFC) in and outside the hemopoietic bone marrow. Murine bone marrow cells (BMC) are stimulated by either macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) or murine recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rGM-CSF) to form M- and granulocyte- macrophage (GM) colonies on soft agarose medium, whereas both peri...

Enhancement of colony-forming activity of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor by monocytes in vitro.

Human recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hrGM-CSF) stimulated granulocyte-macrophage (GM) colony formation from human marrow mononuclear cells (MMCs) in a dose-dependent manner in methylcellulose culture. When phagocytes were depleted from MMCs, GM colony formation from the phagocyte-depleted (PD) MMCs by hrGM-CSF markedly decreased. Experiments in which PD-MMCs were ...

Does the granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit content in ex vivo-expanded grafts predict the recovery of the recipient leukocytes?

We have investigated the leukocyte-repopulating-predictive value of granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit (CFU-GM) analyses in ex vivo-expanded versus fresh murine bone marrow (BM) grafts. After the transplantation of graded numbers of normal BM cells (from 15 to 5 x 10(3) CFU-GMs/mice), a dose-dependent increase in the recipient leukocytes was observed between the first and third weeks po...
