Background
G-CSF is secreted by monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils after cell activation. It is produced also by stromal cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, epithelial carcinomas, acute myeloid leukemia cells and various tumor cell lines. The synthesis of G-CSF can be induced by bacterial endotoxins, TNF, IL1 and GM-CSF. Comparison of the primary sequence of G-CSF with those of the two other colony stimulating factors, GM-CSF and M-CSF, shows that the three factors are not related to each other. Murine and human G-CSF show a sequence homology of approximately 70% at the DNA level and of 72% at the protein level. The G-CSF receptor, CD114, is expressed on all cells of the neutrophils and granulocytes lineage, as well as placenta cells, endothelial cells and various carcinoma cell lines .Human G-CSF is active in murine cells and vice versa. G-CSF stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells committed to the neutrophils and granulocytes lineage in a dose-dependent manner. G-CSF synergises with some other cytokines, including GM-CSF and IL-4, for example, GM-CSF and G-CSF are required to develop neutrophilic colonies in vitro. The concerted action of G-CSF and Epo is required to support the growth of mixed colonies of the early erythroid progenitors. A combination of IL-4 with G-CSF has been shown to lead to synergistic suppression of the growth of some human leukemic cell lines.
