The distribution of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in human long-term bone marrow cultures (HLTBMC) was examined using two monoclonal antibodies raised using purified recombinant GM-CSF and a third commercially available GM-CSF antibody. The antibodies were able to bind to purified recombinant GM-CSF and showed inhibition of GM-CFC colonies in the presence of both recombinant and native protein. All antibodies displayed similar patterns of distribution in both permeabilised and non-permeabilised stromal cell preparations. Fibroblasts were labelled at their periphery in early cultures and both endothelial cells and fibroblasts showed cytoplasmic labelling with anti-GM-CSF. The fact that GM-CSF appears to be sequestered by cells of the bone marrow stroma raises the possibility that it is synthesized by these cells and may regulate activity of the progenitor cells in the haemopoietic foci. In contrast, early progenitor cells within the foci did not stain with any of the anti-GM-CSF antibodies. Adipocytes, which differentiate from fibroblasts in these cultures, showed a diffuse staining pattern. Two types of macrophage staining were observed in the non-permeabilised cells; those exhibiting only autofluorescence and those that bound the antibody. Intracellular staining was apparent in a small sub-population. Generally, the staining persisted up to eight weeks of culture and thereafter declined, becoming virtually undetectable after 12 weeks. This correlates with the pattern of GM-CFC production in long-term bone marrow cultures.

Defects in macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) signaling disrupt myeloid cell differentiation in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, blocking myeloid maturation into tolerogenic antigen-presenting cells (APCs). In the absence of M-CSF signaling, NOD myeloid cells have abnormally high granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) expression, and as a result, persistent activation of signal transducer/activator of transcription 5 (STAT5). Persistent STAT5 phosphorylation found in NOD macrophages is not affected by inhibiting GM-CSF. However, STAT5 phosphorylation in NOD bone marrow cells is diminished if GM-CSF signaling is blocked. Moreover, if M-CSF signaling is inhibited, GM-CSF stimulationin vitrocan promote STAT5 phosphorylation in nonautoimmune C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow cultures to levels seen in the NOD. These findings suggest that excessive GM-CSF production in the NOD bone marrow may interfere with the temporal sequence of GM-CSF and M-CSF signaling needed to mediate normal STAT5 function in myeloid cell differentiation gene regulation.

Abstract The effects of mouse L-cell interferon (IFN) on growth of mouse bone marrow cells and their differentiation into macrophages and granulocytes were investigated in a liquid suspension culture system with two different types of colony-stimulating factor (CSF). Within 7 days, most bone marrow cells differentiated into macrophages in the presence of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) derived from mouse fibroblast L929 cells, but into both granulocytes (40%) and macrophages (23%) in the presence of a granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor (GM-CSF) from mouse lung tissue. IFN inhibited growth of bone marrow cells with both M-CSF and GM-CSF, but had 20 times more effect on bone marrow cells stimulated with M-CSF than on those stimulated with GM-CSF. A low concentration of IFN (50 IU/ml) stimulated production of macrophages by GM-CSF in liquid culture medium, whereas it selectively inhibited colony formation of macrophages in semisolid agar culture. IFN caused no detectable block of late stages of differentiation; mature macrophages and granulocytes were produced even when cell proliferation was inhibited by IFN. These results indicate that IFN preferentially affects growth and differentiation of the cell lineage of macrophages among mouse bone marrow cells.

We have examined the biologic and physical properties of a human T- lymphocyte granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF). The source of the factor is a T-lymphoblast cell line (Mo) that was derived from a patient with a T-cell variant of hairy-cell leukemia. The Mo line constitutively produces a number of lymphokines that are normally produced by mitogen-stimulated T lymphocytes. Medium conditioned by Mo cells grown in the absence of serum is especially rich in CSF activity, and using this source we have purified the CSF to a specific activity of about 3.5 x 10(6) colonies per 10(5) Ficoll-Hypaque-separated human bone marrow cells plated per mg protein. The Mo CSF stimulates the formation of both granulocyte and macrophage colonies in vitro (in about equal numbers) and it has a relatively steep dose-response curve. Both the crude and purified preparations stimulated the formation of eosinophil as well as neutrophil colonies; it is unclear whether this is due to the presence of multiple factors with similar physical properties or a single factor with multiple activities. The CSF has little stimulating activity for mouse bone marrow progenitors. Physically, the Mo CSF is an acidic glycoprotein of molecular weight about 34,000. It binds to concanavalin A-Sepharose, is unusually resistant to denaturing agents and heat treatment, and is not inactivated in the presence of sulfhydryl reagents. The Mo CSF is distinct from factors stimulating erythroid colony formation and inhibiting neutrophil migration that are also produced by Mo cells. It differs in several physical and biologic properties from other human CSFs that have been characterized.
