Stem cell factor and basic fibroblast growth factor are synergistic in augmenting committed myeloid progenitor cell growth.
Stem cell factor (SCF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) are hematopoietic cytokines produced by bone marrow stromal cells. It is known that, although SCF and bFGF have limited clonogenic activity on their own, they can augment colony-stimulating factor (CSF)-mediated progenitor cell growth. Because these factors are both sequestered by stromal cells, we examined their interaction on pr...
متن کاملThe mouse int-2 gene exhibits basic fibroblast growth factor activity in a basic fibroblast growth factor-responsive cell line.
The int-2 protein is related to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by amino acid sequence homology. To assess its biological activity, we constructed retroviral vectors containing four variants of mouse int-2 complementary DNA under the transcriptional control of the beta-actin promoter and tested their effects on human SW13 adrenal cortical tumor cells. This cell line specifically requires ...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor counteracts the suppressive effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 on human myeloid progenitor cells.
We have previously shown that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is mitogenic for human bone marrow stromal cells and enhances myelopoiesis in human long-term bone marrow culture. In the present study, we examined the mechanism by which bFGF enhances granulopoiesis. We observed that bFGF significantly abrogated the inhibitory effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) on granul...
متن کاملBasic Fibroblast Growth Factor Counteracts the Suppressive Effect of Transforming Growth Factor-pl on Human Myeloid Progenitor Cells
We have previously shown that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is mitogenic for human bone marrow stromal cells and enhances myelopoiesis in human long-term bone marrow culture. In the present study, we examined the mechanism by which bFGF enhances granulopoiesis. We observed that bFGF significantly abrogated the inhibitory effect of transforming growth factor-j3l (TGF-PI) on granulocyte-m...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor is essential to maintain endothelial progenitor cell phenotype in TR-BME2 cells.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) can differentiate into both endothelial cells and contractile smooth muscle cells (SMC). Previously we reported that TR-BME2 cells, a model for EPC, developed contractile SMC-like characteristics in culture medium deprived of endothelial cell growth factors (ECGF). The aim of the present study was to clarify the effect of one of these factors, basic fibroblast...
