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

چکیده
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 cultured with hrGM-CSF and adherent cells showed that 94% (on day 7 and day 14) of the colonies from PD-MMCs were dependent on the presence of adherent cells. In contrast, the ability of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to form colonies was not affected by phagocyte depletion. To check for the presence or absence of progenitors that could form GM colonies in direct response to hrGM-CSF, single-cell culture of hematopoietic progenitor cell surface antigen (My-10)-positive PD-MMCs was carried out using a flow cytometer and an Autoclone System. In duplicate experiments, 0.7% and 3.5% (day 7) or 3.6% and 3.9% (day 14) of My-10-positive PD-MMCs formed GM colonies in response to hrGM-CSF and 5.1% and 6.0% (day 7) of My-10-positive PD-MMCs formed GM colonies in response to G-CSF. This was clear evidence for the presence of progenitors directly responding to hrGM-CSF. Also observed was a synergistic effect on GM colony formation in which more My-10-positive PD-MMCs stimulated by hrGM-CSF and G-CSF could form GM colonies than the sum of those stimulated by each separately. This enhancing effect of colony-forming activity of hrGM-CSF by adherent cells and the single cell culture experiment were reproduced in serum-free culture system.

The Expression of Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor by Heat-Induction in Escherichia coli
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,...

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 ...

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 ...

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...
