Human leukocyte interferon preparation blocks granulopoietic differentiation.

چکیده
Since interferon administration in the treatment of some malignant conditions has been reported to cause leukopenia, we studied the effects of human leukocyte interferon preparation (HLIF) on myelopoiesis in vitro. The continual presence of HLIF in semisolid agar cultures caused a progressive decline in colony and a rise in cluster incidence with increasing concentrations of interferon. The total plating efficiency, however, remained nearly constant, regardless of the HLIF doses used. Morphological examination of the clusters demonstrated a progressively increasing percentage of immature granulocytic precursors with increasing HLIF concentrations. This suggests that HLIF causes leukopenia by blocking differentiation of marrow myeloid precursors.

Rat leukocyte interferons: production of an acid-labile interferon after induction with Newcastle disease virus.
Rat leukocytes produce three interferon species after infection with Newcastle disease virus. Two of the three interferon species (22-24,000 and 30,000 daltons) were acid and heat stable, protected rat and mouse cells from virus-mediated cytopathic effect (CPE), and were neutralized by antisera to mouse L-cell (alpha/beta) interferon. The third, 30,000-dalton interferon species was heat and aci...
متن کاملStimulation of natural killer cell activity and inhibition of proliferation of various leukemic cells by purified human leukocyte interferon subtypes.
One of several human leukocyte interferon subtypes A (LeIF-A), obtained in purified form from a gene cloned in Escherichia coli, stimulated human peripheral blood natural killer cell activity, whereas another human leukocyte interferon subtype D (LeIF-D) had no effect with the use of K562 as target cells. With Daudi as target cells, both LeIF-A and LeIF-D stimulated natural killer cell activity...
متن کاملModulation of p210(BCR-ABL) activity in transduced primary human hematopoietic cells controls lineage programming.
Retroviral transduction of primary hematopoietic cells with human oncogenes provides a powerful approach to investigating the molecular mechanisms controlling the normal proliferation and differentiation of these cells. Here we show that primitive human CD34(+) cord blood cells, including multipotent as well as granulopoietic- and erythroid-restricted progenitors, can be efficiently transduced ...
متن کاملGranulopoietic differentiation in AML blasts in culture.
A newly described monoclonal antibody detected an antigen (My-1) that is expressed on the cell surface during normal granulopoietic differentiation. The kinetics of expression of My-1 and NASD chloracetate esterase were studied during the formation in culture of blast colonies and normal granulopoietic colonies. My-1-positive cells increased during blast colony formation in 6 of 9 experiments, ...
متن کاملA computational model of human granulopoiesis to simulate the hematotoxic effects of multicycle polychemotherapy.
Moderate intensification of conventional multicycle chemotherapy has recently been shown to improve treatment results in malignant lymphomas and might prove to be beneficial also in other malignancies. However, the feasibility of such regimens is mainly limited by their granulopoietic toxicity. To identify and quantify the basic cell kinetic mechanisms of damage and stimulation caused by cytoto...
