Abstract
Addition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to the culture of mouse myeloid stem cells (CFUc) increased the incidence of compact colonies and decreased that of dispersed ones in the presence of colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) which had not such an effect by itself even in high concentrations. Although colony morphology was thus changed, nearly all colonies were composed of monocytes. The incidence of compact colonies increased with the increase of LPS concentration but plateaued at about 50%. Bone marrow cells of LPS-tolerant mice responded to LPS in vitro to a slightly decreased extent. The activity of LPS was decreased by alkaline or acid hydrolysis of the LPS molecule and inhibited by polymixin B, but not by indomethacin, alpha-L-fucose, nor by alpha-methyl-D-mannoside. Other immunopotentiating substances, such as OK-432, Lentinan, and Levamisole, had no effect on the colony morphology. Both muramyl dipeptide and poly(I).poly(C) were also ineffective. Furthermore, the action of LPS was not abolished by the use of heat-inactivated serum in the culture. LPS was no longer stimulative for the induction of lysosomal enzymes in the CSF-stimulated culture, although it greatly enhanced the enzyme induction in the unstimulated culture.
