Abstract

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) mainly stimulates proliferation and maturation of myeloid progenitor cells. Although the signal transduction pathways triggered by GM-CSF receptor (GMR) have been extensively characterized, the roles of GMR signals in differentiation have remained to be elucidated. To examine the relationship between receptor expression and differentiation of hemopoietic cells, we used transgenic mice (Tg-mice) that constitutively express human (h) GMR at almost all stages of hemopoietic cell development. Proliferation and differentiation of hemopoietic progenitors in bone marrow cells from these Tg-mice were analyzed by methylcellulose colony formation assay. High affinity GMR interacts with GM-CSF in a species-specific manner, therefore one can analyze the effects of hGMR signals on differentiation of mouse hemopoietic progenitors using hGM-CSF. Although mouse (m) GM-CSF yielded only GM colonies, hGM-CSF supported various types of colonies including GM, eosinophil, mast cell, erythrocyte, megakaryocyte, blast cell, and mixed hemopoietic colonies. Thus, the effects of hGM-CSF on colony formation more closely resembled mIL-3 than those of mGM-CSF. In addition, hGM-CSF generated a much la...Continue Reading
