Abstract

gp130, a signal-transducing receptor component of interleukin 6 (IL-6), associates with an IL-6 and IL-6 receptor (IL-6) complex and transduces signals. To examine the role of gp130 signaling in the expansion of human hemopoietic progenitor cells, we tested the effects of a recombinant soluble human IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) and/or IL-6 in combination with other cytokines on purified human umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells, using methylcellulose clonal assay and suspension culture in the presence or absence of serum. A combination of sIL-6R and IL-6 (sIL-6R/IL-6), but not sIL-6R or IL-6 alone, was found to dramatically stimulate expansion of hemopoietic progenitor cells as well as CD34+ cells in the presence of stem cell factor. Significant generation of multipotential hemopoietic progenitors over a period of 3 weeks in suspension culture and efficient formation of colonies, especially multilineage and blast cell colonies, in methylcellulose assay supplemented with a combination of sIL-6R/IL-6 together with stem cell factor were observed in serum-containing and serum-free culture. Addition of anti-gp130 monoclonal antibodies or anti-IL-6R monoclonal antibodies to the above cultures dose-dependently inhibited the expansion of progen...Continue Reading

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer.
