Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor reduces striatal dopamine accumulation caused by cerebral ischemia

Systemic capillary leak syndrome caused by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.

In the background section of their abstract, Woei-Cherng Shyu and associates state that because granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties and the capacity to mobilize stem cells, it has the potential to be used in treatment of stroke. However, there are limited data about the effects of G-CSF on hemostasis. It has been suggested that G-CS...

Granulocyte colony stimulating factor.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was discovered during attempts to define the normal regulators present in cell supernatants that could induce terminal differentiation of the murine myeloid leukemic cell line WEHI-3B D+. The purification and subsequent cloning of both murine and human G-CSF allowed the normal functions of this molecule to be elucidated and indicated that it was a relativel...

Regulation of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor expression by oncostatin M.

Oncostatin M (OM) is structurally and functionally related to a subclass of hematopoietic cytokines including leukemia-inhibitory factor (LIF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Using human endothelial cells (HEC) as a model for cytokine regulation of hematopoietic growth factor expression, we tested OM as an inducer of ...

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor: signals for its mRNA accumulation.

Granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is an important hematopoietic growth factor. Mesenchymal cells produce abundant GM-CSF in response to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF). We wished to determine (1) what cellular pathways enhanced levels of GM-CSF mRNA, and (2) if TNF used any of these pathways. Modulation in levels of GM-CSF mRNA in human fibroblasts (WI-38) was studied by...
