Purified preparations of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte CSF (G-CSF), and interleukin 3 (IL-3 or multi-CSF) alone and in combination, have been compared for their stimulatory effects on human granulocyte-macrophage colony forming cells (GM-CFC). In cultures of unseparated normal human bone marrow, the combinations of G-CSF plus IL-3 and G...

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) are used to ameliorate cancer therapy-induced neutropenia and mucositis. Yet, first data in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) indicate an impaired long-term prognosis on G-CSF treatment, and previous studies showed a contribution of both factors to the progression of human epi...

The present study aimed at investigating the beneficial effects of co-administering granulocyte colony–stimulating factor (G-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF) in a model of chronic liver injury induced by thioacetamide (TAA). Biochemical and histopathology- cal examinations were performed on serum and liver specimens. At the end of the treatment period, the rats were anesthetized with ether, seru...

Human granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) has many therapeutic applications.In this study, in order to verify the purification process, the effect of carbon source, IPTG concentration andpost-induction time on the secretion of recombinant hGM-CSF into the culture medium by recombinantEscherichia coli during high cell density cultivation were evaluated by...

Proliferative glomerulonephritis in humans is characterized by the presence of leukocytes in glomeruli. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) can potentially stimulate or affect T cell, macrophage, and neutrophil function. To define the roles of GM-CSF and G-CSF in leukocyte-mediated glomerulonephritis, glomerular injury was ...

BACKGROUND Pleomorphic lung cancer cells have been reported to produce cytokines, resulting in systemic reactions. Recently, the autonomous production of hematopoietic cytokines (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF], granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF], and interleukin-6 [IL-6]) was observed in some of these patients. CASE PRESENTATION We herein report a case of...

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...
