Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor induces neutrophil sequestration in rabbit lungs.

چکیده
The effects of intravenous injection of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) on circulating neutrophil numbers, pulmonary vascular permeability, and morphologic changes in the lung were examined in rabbits. Intravenous injection of rhG-CSF caused a rapid, profound neutropenia due to neutrophil sequestration primarily within capillaries but also in larger microvessels of the lungs. Examination of neutrophil deformability using microfilters revealed that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment caused a rapid stiffening of neutrophils through the polymerization of F-actin but not microtubule assembly. The expression of CD11b, CD11c, and CD18 on human neutrophils after G-CSF treatment increased, but CD11a did not. Intravenous injection of rhG-CSF did not induce neutrophil emigration or albumin leakage into alveolar space, wet/dry lung weight ratios were unchanged, and no pathologic changes in lung histology were observed. These studies indicate that injection of rhG-CSF caused a rapid neutropenia and neutrophil sequestration in the lungs that is likely to be mediated through a G-CSF-induced decrease in neutrophil deformability, although neutrophil-endothelial cell adhesion may also play a role. However, this G-CSF-induced neutrophil sequestration did not induce a massive lung injury.

THE ROLE OF ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES IN THE PRODUCTION OF COLONY –STIMULATING FACTOR BY THE LUNG
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...
