Correction of canine cyclic hematopoiesis with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.

چکیده
Canine cyclic hematopoiesis (CH) is an autosomal recessive disease of gray collie dogs that is characterized by neutropenic episodes at 14-day intervals. The biochemical basis for CH is not known but may involve a regulatory defect of the response to or production of a hematopoietic growth factor. Administration of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) to two CH and one normal dog caused a marked leukocytosis (greater than 50,000 WBCs) in all three dogs. The leukocytosis was due largely to a greater than tenfold increase in neutrophils. Less pronounced but significant elevations in monocytes occurred during G-CSF treatment. The elevated WBC count was maintained for more than 20 days in all three dogs, and two predicted neutropenic episodes were prevented in both CH dogs during rhG-CSF treatment. A decline in the WBC count occurred simultaneously in all three dogs during the last five treatment days and was presumably associated with the development of neutralizing antibodies to the heterologous rhG-CSF protein. Bone marrow evaluation indicated that the swings in the myeloid/erythroid progenitor cells that are characteristic of CH were eliminated by rhG-CSF treatment in both CH dogs. These results suggest that the regulatory defect in canine CH can be temporarily alleviated by treatment with rhG-CSF and point to the potential treatment of human cyclic neutropenia with this agent.

Cyclic hematopoiesis in gray collie dogs is a stem cell disease in which abnormal regulation of cell production in the bone marrow causes cyclic fluctuations of blood cell counts. In vitro studies demonstrated that recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) all stimulated increases in colon...

Bakground: Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a cytokine that stimulates hematopoiesis and induces proliferation and differentiation of granulocyte progenitor cells as well as production of bone marrow neutrophilic granulocyte colonies. Nowadays, human recombinant G-CSF(hr G-CSF)is used for the treatment of chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced neutropenia, and also in patients ...

Grey collie dogs have cyclic fluctuations in their blood cell counts caused by a regulatory defect of hematopoietic stem cells. To examine the role of stem cell factor (SCF) or its receptor in this disorder, we investigated the stimulatory effects of recombinant canine SCF (rc-SCF) on in vitro marrow cultures, cloned and sequenced the grey collie SCF gene, and treated three grey collies with rc...

Two dogs with generalized seizures were evaluated. The dogs were diagnosed with traumatic intracranial hemorrhages based on the history, neurological examinations, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Treatment was started with oxygen, prednisolone and anticonvulsant agents. No further seizure activity was observed after treatment in both dogs, however cushing reflex was detected ...
