Biochemical properties of differentiation factors for murine myelomonocytic leukemic cells in organ conditioned media--separation from colony-stimulating factors

Journal of Cellular Physiology
N A Nicola, D Metcalf

Abstract

A number of different organs and tissues from untreated or endotoxin-injected mice were surveyed for their ability to produce conditioned medium that could induce differentiation of the myelomonocytic leukemic cell line WEHI-3B. All organs were able to do this but were much more effective from endotoxin-injected animals. Production of the differentiation factor (DF) was dependent on protein synthesis and occurred throughout the 7-day incubation period. DF produced by the different organs in vitro and found in vivo in endotoxin serum were indistinguishable from each other by several fractionation procedures but could be distinguished from the majority of granulocyte-macrophage and macrophage colony-stimulating factors (GM- and M-CSFs). DF was precipitated by 55% ammonium sulfate whereas CSF required 85% saturation. DF did not bind to Concanavalin A-Sepharose whereas CSF did. DF eluted later than CSF from Phenyl-Sepharose columns. The dissociated molecular weight of DF was 21,000-29,000 and was not greatly affected by neuraminidase treatment. There was no evidence that DF was glycoprotein in nature although this cannot yet be ruled out. Although the DF activity could be clearly separated from the bulk of GM-CSF and M-CSF activiti...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
