چکیده

Colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) regulates the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of mononuclear phagocytes. To determine whether CSF-1 plays a role in the perinatal development of these cells, CSF-1 protein and mRNA expression in tissues and serum from fetal/neonatal mice and their mothers was analyzed. As fetal/neonatal age increased, CSF-1 concentrations rose in liver, kidney, and lung, declined in brain and serum, and did not change in intestine and heart. Concurrently, fetal/neonatal CSF-1 concentrations were higher in liver, kidney, and serum and lower in lung, brain, intestine, and heart than maternal tissue/serum concentrations, which showed no correlations with gestational or postpartum stage. CSF-1 mRNA was detected in all tissues examined and its expression increased in lung and heart and decreased in brain with increasing fetal/neonatal age. The developmental regulation of mouse CSF-1 expression appears to he important for mononuclear phagocyte development during this period.

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,...

Improvement in Development and Quality of 8 Cell Mouse Embryos in Presence of Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor

Purpose: Granulose Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) is a lympho- heamatopoietic actor, secreted in the reproductive system. Murine pre- implantation embryos express GM-CSF receptors. In his study, the capacity of eight cell mouse embryos was studied in the presence and absence of GM-CSF. Materials and Methods: Female NMRI mice were super ovulated using Pregnant Mare Serum gonadotr...

Regulated control by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor AU-rich element during mouse embryogenesis.

In vitro studies have indicated that the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene expression is regulated at the posttranscriptional level by the AU-rich element (ARE) sequence present in its 3' untranslated region (UTR). This study investigated the importance of the ARE in the control of GM-CSF gene expression in vivo. For this purpose, transgenic mice bearing GM-CSF gene...

Expression and Secretion of Human Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor Using Escherichia coli Enterotoxin I Signal Sequence

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 ...
