Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor is not responsible for the correction of hematopoietic deficiencies in the maturing op/op mouse.

چکیده
Osteopetrotic (op/op) mice are characterized by an autosomal recessive inactivating mutation resulting in the absence of biologically active colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1). Consequently, young op/op mice have a severe deficiency of macrophages and osteoclasts resulting in excessive bone formation, occlusion of the marrow cavity, and reduced marrow hematopoietic activity. Recently, we showed that the osteopetrosis and hematopoietic deficiencies evident in young op/op mice are not permanent but are progressively corrected with age. There are increases in osteoclast activity; bone resorption; femoral marrow space; and marrow hematopoietic activity, cellularity, and macrophage content. In the present study we show that CSF-1-/- granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)(-/-)-deficient mice also undergo the same pattern of hematopoietic correction as the op/op mouse. Also, like the op/op mouse, the peritoneal cellularity and macrophage content of CSF-1/GM-CSF-deficient mice remains severely reduced. Our data show that the "knockout" of GM-CSF does not change the op/op phenotype, and that GM-CSF is not essential for the correction of the hematopoietic deficiencies in the op/op mouse. Importantly, the data also show that neither GM-CSF nor CSF-1 is an absolute requirement for the commitment of primitive hematopoietic stem cells to the macrophage lineage or for the differentiation of at least some classes of macrophages. This finding suggests that an alternate regulatory factor can be involved in macrophage and osteoclast commitment, differentiation, and function in vivo.

Macrophage colony stimulating factor modulates the development of hematopoiesis by stimulating the differentiation of endothelial cells in the AGM region.
Definitive hematopoietic stem cells arise in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region from hemangioblasts, common precursors for hematopoietic and endothelial cells. Previously, we showed that multipotential hematopoietic progenitors and endothelial cells were massively produced in primary culture of the AGM region in the presence of oncostatin M. Here we describe a role for macrophage-colony-s...

متن کاملImprovement 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...

Differentiation of dendritic cell populations in macrophage colony-stimulating factor-deficient mice homozygous for the osteopetrosis (op) mutation.
In op/op mice, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic techniques were used to examine the effects of the OP mutation on dendritic cell populations in lymphoid tissues and skin. In the thymic medulla, T cell zone of lymph nodes, and splenic white pulp of op/op mice, numbers of NLDC-145-positive dendritic cells were not decreased. Compared to the normal littermates, numbers of BM8-positive ...
