TMIC-24. COLONY STIMULATING FACTOR 1 INHIBITION DECREASES TUMOR GROWTH AND MACROPHAGE INFILTRATION, AND INCREASES NEUTROPHIL INFILTRATION IN XENOGRAFT MICE MODELS OF GLIOBLASTOMA

Colony-stimulating Factor-1, and Recombinant Murine Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-stimulating Factor on Myelopoiesis in Mice

Purified murine colony-stimulating factors (CSF) recombinant interleukin 3 (IL-3), natural CSF-1, and recombinant granulocyte-macrophage (GM) CSF were assessed in vivo for their effects on BDF, mouse bone marrow and spleen granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM), erythroid (BFU-E), and multipotential (CFU-GEMM) progenitor cells in untreated mice and in mice pretreated with purified iron-saturated human...

Osteopontin is up-regulated and associated with neutrophil and macrophage infiltration in glioblastoma.

Osteopontin (OPN) is a glycophosphoprotein with multiple intracellular and extracellular functions. In vitro, OPN enhances migration of mouse neutrophils and macrophages. In cancer, extracellular OPN facilitates migration of cancer cells via its RGD sequence. The present study was designed to investigate whether osteopontin is responsible for neutrophil and macrophage infiltration in human canc...

Factors regulating macrophage production and growth: identity of colony- stimulating factor and macrophage growth factor

The activities of a colony-stimulating factor (CSF), which stimulates granulocyte-macrophage colony formation by mouse hemopoietic cells, and macrophage growth factor (MGF), which stimulates proliferation of activated peritoneal macrophages, have been demonstrated by various criteria to reside in the same molecular species. These criteria include occurrence in various sources and copurification...

Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor

Improvement in Development and Quality of 8 Cell Mouse Embryos in Presence of Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor

Purpose: Granulose Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) is a lympho- heamatopoietic actor, secreted in the reproductive system. Murine pre- implantation embryos express GM-CSF receptors. In his study, the capacity of eight cell mouse embryos was studied in the presence and absence of GM-CSF. Materials and Methods: Female NMRI mice were super ovulated using Pregnant Mare Serum gonadotr...
