Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor enhances selective effector functions of tissue-derived macrophages.

چکیده
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is produced by a variety of cells at sites of exposure to antigens. GM-CSF has a stimulatory effect on a number of neutrophil functions, but the effect on macrophage function is less clear. We investigated the effect of purified murine recombinant GM-CSF on murine peritoneal macrophage oxidative metabolism, Fc-dependent phagocytosis, anti-Toxoplasma activity, and expression of class II major histocompatibility antigen (Iad). GM-CSF significantly increased phorbol myristate acetate- and zymosan-elicited H2O2 release by resident and thioglycollate-elicited macrophages after 48 hours in vitro. The effect of recombinant GM-CSF was blocked by polyclonal anti-GM-CSF antibody and was not altered by lipopolysaccharide (0.01 to 1.0 microgram/mL). GM-CSF also stimulated Fc-dependent phagocytosis by peritoneal macrophages, although the stimulation of resident macrophages (1.4-fold) was less dramatic than that of thioglycollate-elicited cells (2.1-fold). GM-CSF (at doses up to 100 U/mL) had no effect on macrophage anti-Toxoplasma activity or on expression of Iad. In addition to stimulating macrophage growth, GM-CSF selectively promotes the functional capacity of tissue-derived macrophages.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection inhibits granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-induced activation of STAT5A in human monocyte-derived macrophages.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infects cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. While infection of macrophages by HIV-1 is generally not cytopathic, it does impair macrophage function. In this study, we examined the effect of HIV-1 infection on intracellular signaling in human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) stimulated with the growth factor granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimul...

Glucocorticoids are effective repressors of the immune system. We have examined the effect of glucocorticoids on the proliferation of murine macrophages. Dexamethasone by itself did not affect proliferation of differentiated or undifferentiated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) and elicited peritoneal macrophages. However, dexamethasone enhanced the proliferation induced by macrophage colon...

The role of alveolar macrophages in the production of granulocyte/ macrophage colony-stimulating factor(s) by the rat lung was investigated. Lavaged lungs, when incubated at proper weight per volume of culture medium, produced the same amount of colony-stimulating factor as unlavaged ones. Both lavaged and unlavaged lungs produced similar types of colony-stimulating factor (s). Prolonged i...

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a protein produced by activated macrophages in response to endotoxin. The effect of recombinant murine TNF (rMuTNF) on the growth of murine tissue-derived macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-M) which are responsive to both macrophage and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factors (M-CSF and GM-CSF), was studied. TNF alone did not stimulate macrophage proli...
