Human granulocyte-macrophage progenitors and their sensitivity to cytotoxins: analysis by limiting dilution.

چکیده
Limiting dilution analysis of granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells was performed by using adherent and T cell-depleted normal human bone marrow and the recombinant human growth factors, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Estimated frequencies for progenitor cells responding to G-CSF were one in 489 for colonies scored at day 7, and one in 1,015 for day 14 colonies. For GM-CSF the frequencies were one in 1,407 (day 7) and one in 574 (day 14). The effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lymphotoxin (LT) on the frequency of progenitors responding to either G-CSF or GM-CSF was determined. Both TNF and LT inhibited the response of cells to G-CSF, and in these cultures the frequency of progenitor cells that responded to G-CSF was reduced to less than one in 100,000 cells. In contrast, the frequency of cells able to form colonies in cultures stimulated with GM-CSF was unaltered by either cytotoxin. This differential sensitivity to cytotoxins suggests that either G-CSF and GM-CSF are acting on separate granulocyte progenitor populations or that TNF and LT selectively influence the biochemical pathways associated with the activation of receptors for G-CSF.

With the aim of the secretion of human granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) in Escherichia coli, hGM-CSF cDNA was fused in-frame next to the signal sequence of ST toxin (ST-I) of exteroxigenic E. coli, containing 53 or 19 amino acids of signal peptide. The fused STsig::hGM-CSF coding fragments were inserted into a T7-based expression plasmid. The recombinant plasmids were ...

We have used antisense oligonudeotides to study the roles of transforming growth factor fl (TGF-fl) and the two antioncogenes, retinoblastoma susceptibility (Rb) and p53, in the negative regulation of proliferation of early hematopoietic cells in culture. The antisense TGF-3 sequence significantly enhanced the frequency of colony formation by multi-lineage, early erythroid, and granulomonocytic...

Fusion of two genes at DNA level produces a single protein, known as a chimeric protein. Immunotoxins are chimeric proteins composed of specific cell targeting and cell killing moieties. Bacterial or plant toxins are commonly used as the killing moieties of the chimeric immunotoxins. In this investigation, the catalytic domain of Shiga-like toxin (A1) was fused to human granulocyte macrophage ...

A self-regulated high-copy number plasmid containing chloramphenicol resistant gene, for the production of recombinant proteins under the regulation of bacteriophage ?pL promoter, was constructed. The designed 5024 base pair expression plasmid contained a heat sensitive repressor cI857 coding gene to regulate the function of ?pL promoter under heat shock induction. Using the constructed vector,...
