Abstract

Stimulatory cytokines, including granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and steel factor (SLF), act in a synergistic manner to stimulate the growth of hematopoietic progenitor cells, an effect also demonstrated for the growth factor-dependent human hematopoietic cell line MO7e. While little is known about the mechanisms responsible for mediating synergistic interactions of cytokines, Raf-1, a component of the MAP kinase signaling pathway, is thought to play a role in the stimulatory response evoked by several cytokines, including SLF and GM-CSF. Interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) are members of the chemokine family of suppressive cytokines. Prior exposure of hematopoietic cells to chemokines, including IP-10 and MIP-1 alpha, inhibits the synergistic action of growth factors on stimulating cell proliferation. We report that treatment of MO7e cells with the combination of GM-CSF and SLF directly stimulates statistically significant synergistic increases in the phosphorylation and activation of Raf-1 kinase, and in cellular protein synthesis levels. Pretreatment of MO7e cells with IP-10 or MIP-1 alpha blocked synergistic growth factor action, resulti...Continue Reading
