We analyzed the effect of the two quinolones moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin on the repopulation of hematopoietic organs and on the production of cytokines by various organs of cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced leukopenic mice. The effect was compared to that of G-CSF. Cyclophosphamide injection induced a severe leukopenia, with nadir at day 4 post-injection. All the quinolone and G-CSF-treated animals showed WBC>500/microL at the nadir, compared to 50% of saline-treated mice. Cyclophosphamide induced a marked decrease in the number of myeloid progenitors (CFU-C) in bone marrow (BM) and spleen. Quinolone or G-CSF treatment resulted in a 1.4-4.3-fold increase in CFU-C numbers in the BM; no enhancement was observed in the spleen. Treatment with CP resulted in enhanced colony-stimulating activity (CSA) in bone shaft and spleen and decreased activity in bladder and lung. Treatment of CP-injected mice with quinolones significantly enhanced CSA in the bone shaft, spleen, lung and bladder on different days. In normal mice the highest levels of GM-CSF and IL-6 were observed in lung-conditioned medium (compared to bone shaft, spleen and bladder). Injection of CP resulted in a 22.5- and 93-fold decrease in GM-CSF and IL-6 levels, respectively, in lung-conditioned medium, while treatment with quinolones resulted in 2-4-fold increase in GM-CSF with no effect on IL-6 production. G-CSF treatment had no enhancing effect on GM-CSF nor on IL-6 production. We conclude that moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin administered to CP-injected mice revert some of the immune suppressive effects of cyclophosphamide.  相似文献

Endogenous plasma levels of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IL-6 and IL-10 were measured in a total of 70 patients undergoing cytoreductive chemotherapy for treatment of acute leukaemia or non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. The diagnoses were acute myeloid leukaemia (AML; n = 30), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL; n = 6), non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL; n = 11) and other malignant haematological disorders including myelodysplastic syndromes (n = 23). After chemotherapy, plasma G-CSF was elevated (mean 5.6 ng/ml; range 1.2–10 ng/ml), and was inversely correlated with white blood cell counts (WBC) (r = ?0.7, P < 0.001). Occurrence of fever (T>38.0°C) during severe myelosuppression (WBC<1 × 109/l) was associated with an additional increase of G-CSF levels (P < 0.001). Plasma IL-6 correlated significantly with fever (range <1 to 1100 pg/ml, mean 130 pg/ml; r = 0.5, P < 0.001) but revealed only a weak association with WBC or platelet counts. In patients treated with recombinant G-CSF (n = 9), an association between IL-6 and fever was still observed after chemotherapy. During the nonfebrile status (total n = 242; AML n = 124), IL-6 levels remained <9 pg/ml in 90% of cases, whereas G-CSF increased with leucopenia (r = ?0.72; P < 0.001). In contrast, endogenous GM-CSF remained normal and IL-10 showed only a slight increase (21% of samples; maximum 22 pg/ml) in severe leucopenia. In particular, IL-10 levels did not correlate with G-CSF or IL-6 levels. We conclude that systemic release of G-CSF and IL-6 is obviously not abrogated by cytoreductive chemotherapy in acute leukaemia and NHL and may add to the therapeutic efficacy of recombinant cytokines. Also, plasma levels of G-, GM-CSF or IL-6 appear to be regulated by separate mechanisms.  相似文献

Cumulative thrombocytopenia is a dose-limiting toxicity of dose- intensive chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer. In this phase I study, we have studied the hematologic toxicity associated with sequential interleukin-3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor (GM-CSF; molgramostim) administration after multiple cycles of FLAC (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy compared with that after concurrent cytokine administration or to each cytokine administered alone. Ninety- three patients with advanced breast cancer were treated with five cycles of FLAC chemotherapy and either IL-3 alone, GM-CSF alone, sequential IL-3 and GM-CSF administered by schedule A (5 days of IL-3 followed by 10 days of GM-CSF) or schedule B (9 days of IL-3 followed by 6 days of GM-CSF), or concurrent administration of IL-3 and GM-CSF for 15 days. Cohorts of patients were treated with one of four dose levels of IL-3 (1,2.5, 5, and 10 micrograms/kg) administered subcutaneously for each schedule of cytokine administration. The GM-CSF dose in all schedules was 5 micrograms/kg/day. Sequential IL-3 and GM- CSF (schedule B) was associated with higher platelet nadirs, shorter durations of platelet counts less than 50,000/microL, and the need for fewer platelet transfusions over five cycles of FLAC chemotherapy compared with concurrent cytokines, sequential IL-3 and GM-CSF schedule A, and GM-CSF alone. Concurrent IL-3 and GM-CSF was associated with unexpected platelet toxicity. The duration of granulocytopenia after FLAC chemotherapy was significantly worse with IL-3 alone compared with each of the GM-CSF-containing cytokine regimens. Although no cycle 1 maximum tolerated dose for IL-3 was defined in this study, 5 micrograms/kg was well tolerated over multiple cycles of therapy and is recommended for future studies. The data from this phase I study suggest that sequential IL-3 and GM-CSF with IL-3 administered for 9 days before beginning GM-CSF may be superior to shorter durations of IL- 3 administered sequentially with GM-CSF, to concurrent IL-3 and GM-CSF, and to either colony-stimulating factor alone in ameliorating the cumulative hematologic toxicity associated with multiple cycles of FLAC chemotherapy. Additional studies of sequential IL-3 and GM-CSF are warranted.  相似文献

The role of erythropoietin (EPO) plus granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) combination in hemopoietic recovery was studied in patients with high-risk breast carcinoma and compared to a control group of previously treated identical patients who were not given EPO plus G-CSF. Eleven consecutive patients admitted to this study had Stage III or IV breast cancer. They received 6 cycles of intensive chemotherapy (epirubicin 150 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 1300 mg/m2). The 1st cycle served for mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC). At its end leukaphereses collections of PBPC were performed to be used as hematologic support (PBPCT) in the 5 remaining cycles. The administration of EPO plus G-CSF was started when leukocyte (WBC) count in peripheral blood dropped below 1 x 10(9)/l and hemoglobin (Hb) level fell below 100 g/l. The treatment was stopped when leukocyte count rose to 5 x 10(9)/l and Hb to 130 g/l. EPO plus G-CSF combination after PBPCT produced significant effects in terms of hemopoietic recovery, clinical benefit and supportive care requirements when compared with 12 historic control patients: Periods of leukopenia were shorter which resulted in reduced risk of infectious complications. The grades of leukopenia in the study and control groups were as follows: grade 4 (36 vs. 18%), grade 3 (57 vs. 30%), grade 2 (7 vs. 13%) respectively. Significantly shorter was the time of PLT recovery < 50 x 10(9)/l (p < 0.001). The grades of thrombocytopenia were: grade 4 (29 vs. 11%), grade 3 (21 vs. 12%), grade 2 (25 vs. 36%) respectively. The number of necessary transfusions was significantly reduced as well as the length of hospital stay (p < 0.001). In conclusion, our results obtained in this study confirm that combination of EPO plus G-CSF not only increases the rate of hemopoietic recovery, reduces the number of necessary red blood cell and platelet transfusions but, at the same time, simplifies the clinical management and is more tolerable for the patients.  相似文献

Serum levels of GM-CSF are elevated in patients with thrombocytopenia   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Serum levels of GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-6 were measured in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), non-immune thrombocytopenia (NIT), autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) and neutropenia. 8/10 children with ITP had elevated serum levels of GM-CSF (mean 18.4 pg/ml) while thrombocytopenic, but only two had detectable levels (mean 4.5 pg/ml) after normalization of the platelet count. In patients with NIT a significant inverse correlation between platelet count and serum levels of GM-CSF was observed. IL-3 and IL-6 levels were not significantly elevated in thrombocytopenic patients and only two of the nine patients with either AIHA or neutropenia had detectable levels of GM-CSF. Thus, GM-CSF may play a role in the response to severe thrombocytopenia.  相似文献

Initiation of DNA synthesis by recombinant colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) was assessed in normal human marrow blast cells isolated by expression of CD34 antigen (tritiated thymidine incorporation). Continuous exposure to CSF was required. A mild increase in DNA synthesis was initiated by granulocyte CSF (G-CSF; greater than or equal to 1 ng/ml), to approximately 1.5 times control levels. A greater increase was initiated by granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF), with a threshold of approximately 0.1 ng/ml and a plateau increment 2.5 times control levels. CD34+ cells were stimulated by interleukin 3 (IL-3) over a wide concentration range: two times control at 0.1/ml, three times control at 1 ng/ml, and four times control at 10 ng/ml. Overlap between responding populations was analyzed. G-CSF plus GM-CSF induced DNA synthesis greater than GM-CSF alone and supported the growth of much larger granulocyte-monocyte colonies. At saturating IL-3 concentrations, neither G-CSF nor GM-CSF induced additional DNA synthesis; at lower concentrations of IL-3, however, GM-CSF recruited additional cells into DNA synthesis. Using CD10 and CD19 antibodies to separate B-lineage cells, the CD34+ cells responding to CSF were observed to be in the non-B-lineage subset. Therefore 1) the response of CD34+ cell subsets CSFs is IL-3 greater than GM-CSF greater than G-CSF, and the IL-3-responsive population is heterogeneous for dose requirement; 2) a CD34+ subpopulation responding to concurrent G-CSF and GM-CSF includes increased proliferative potential cells; 3) IL-3-responsive cells include GM-CSF- and G-CSF-responsive cells, but cells responding to lower IL-3 concentration do not respond to GM-CSF; and 4) B-cell precursors do not respond to GM-CSF or IL-3 in this assay.  相似文献

Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF) is a viral disease caused by Junin virus and characterized by hematologic and neurological involvement. The main hematologic features are leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and bone marrow hypoplasia. Hematopoietic growth factors serum levels were measured by ELISA technique in forty-eight patients with confirmed diagnosis of AHF. Patients were classified according to the clinical picture in 15 severe (SCF), 17 moderate (MoCF), and 16 mild (MiCF) cases. Erythropoietin levels were decreased in 28 of 45 patients and raised in 4 SCF patients. Twenty-four of 38 patients had high G-CSF levels at admittance in accordance with clinical picture severity, while IL-3, GM-CSF, and TGF-beta were normal in most cases. A direct correlation was found between G-CSF and TNF-alpha levels. Thrombopoietin levels were found to be raised in 19 of 21 patients. In conclusion, the low levels of Epo may contribute to the severe bone marrow erythroblastopenia described in AHF patients, while G-CSF seems to be a marker of illness severity.  相似文献

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recombinant erythropoietin (r-EPO) induces erythroid responses in patients affected by myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). However, the response rate declines to 10-15% in MDS with substantial transfusion needs. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have suggested that the addition of growth factors (G-CSF, GM-CSF) or interleukin-3 (IL-3) may potentiate the effect of r-EPO on dysplastic erythropoiesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the combination of r-EPO with G-CSF, GM-CSF or IL-3 on the anemia of heavily transfusion-dependent MDS patients, previously unresponsive to r-EPO alone. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty patients with transfusion-dependent MDS, already treated without significant erythroid response with r-EPO alone, were scheduled to receive, for at least 8 weeks, r-EPO subcutaneously at the dose of 300 U/kg t.i.w. in combination with G-CSF (300 microcg s.c. t.i.w., 27 patients), or GM-CSF (300 microcg s.c. t.i.w., 23 patients), or IL-3 (5 microcg/kg s.c. t.i.w., 10 patients), after a two-week pre-phase during which G-CSF, GM-CSF and IL-3 were administered daily at the same dose, as single drugs. RESULTS: Ten patients were not evaluable for erythroid response because of relevant side effects related to GM-CSF or IL-3 administration. Overall, among 50 patients who completed the study, there were 3 erythroid responses (as determined by complete abolition of red-cell transfusions): 1 (4%) in the G-CSF + r-EPO and 2 (10.5%) in the GM-CSF + r-EPO treated groups. No patient responded to the combination of r-EPO + IL-3. All responders had inappropriate serum levels of endogenous EPO and a relatively short disease duration. Both responders to GM-CSF + r-EPO developed acute myeloid leukemia 2-9 months after the start of the combined therapy. A third elderly patient, treated with the same association, developed marrow hypoplasia. A significant increase in leukocyte count occurred in 96% of patients who received r-EPO + G-CSF, 78.9% of those treated with r-EPO + GM-CSF and 66% of subjects receiving r-EPO + IL-3. A significant increase in platelet count was observed in a single patient receiving r-EPO and GM-CSF, while a slight decrease in platelet count with respect to baseline levels occurred in about 20% of patients. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that the combination of r-EPO with G-CSF, GM-CSF or IL-3, at least at the doses and schedules employed in the present study, has limited efficacy on the anemia of heavily transfusion-dependent MDS patients previously unresponsive to r-EPO alone. However, in this setting of patients, the combination of G-CSF or GM-CSF + r-EPO may occasionally be effective in subjects with low circulating levels of serum EPO and short disease duration.  相似文献

We analyzed the relationship between the reinfusion of large or very large amounts of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) and hematologic toxicity in twenty-one advanced breast cancer patients subjected to a myeloablative dose of melphalan at the end of a high-dose sequential chemotherapy (HDSC) program. We also evaluated the influence of the white blood cell (WBC) count to predict an optimal PBPC harvest after high-dose chemotherapy and growth factor priming. Twenty-one patients with high-risk or metastatic breast cancer sequentially received: high-dose cyclophosphamide (HD-Cy) and G-CSF followed by PBPC harvest, HD-methotrexate plus vincristine, HD-doxorubicin, cisplatin and finally HD-melphalan 200 mg/m2 (HD-L-PAM) followed by PBPC reinfusion. No growth factor was administered after HD-L-PAM. CD34+ cytofluorimetric analysis, WBC count and clonogenic assays were employed to monitor circulating cells and to analyze the PBPC harvest. Correlation between different PBPC doses and hematologic toxicity as well as leukocyte and platelet recovery time was attempted. Patients received a median number of 16 (4-25.1) x 10(6)/kg CD34+ cells, 81.3 (30.8-228) x 10(4)/kg CFU-GM and 4.2 (1.3-7.3) x 10(8)/kg nucleated cells (NC) after HD-L-PAM. The number of days with fewer than 1 x 10(9)/l leukocytes and 20 x 10(9)/l platelets were 6 (range 4-9) and 0 (range 0-3), respectively. The CD34+ cell dose significantly correlated with both platelet count nadir (r = 0.73) and time to 50 x 10(9)/l platelets (r = 0.7), but did not correlate with time to reach more than 1 x 10(9)/l WBC count (r = 0.2). In particular, we found that in 12 patients given very large amounts of CD34+ cells, ranging between 15.8 and 25. 1 x 10(6)/kg (V-LA-CD34+), the platelet nadir count never fell below 20 x 10(9)/l and platelet transfusions were not required. Conversely, nine patients who received only large amounts of CD34+ cells, ranging between 4 and 12 x 10(6)/kg (LA-CD34+), experienced a platelet nadir lower than 20 x 10(9)/l and required 2 days (range 1-4) to achieve independence from platelet transfusions (P = 0.001 and P = 0. 0005). The requirement for packed red blood cells (RBC) was 1.5 vs 3 units in the V-LA-CD34+ and LA-CD34+ groups respectively (P = 0.063). The analysis of 44 PBPC collections demonstrated that 29 aphereses performed with a WBC count <20 x 10(9)/l yielded a mean of 312 +/- 43 x 10(6) CD34+ cells and 1831 +/- 201 x 10(4) CFU-GM, whereas 15 collections performed with WBC count >20 x 10(9)/l yielded 553 +/- 64 x 10(6) CD34+ cells and 3190 +/- 432 x 10(4) CFU-GM (P = 0.004). In conclusion, our data suggests that V-LA-CD34+ eliminates severe thrombocytopenia and platelet transfusion requirements in breast cancer patients subjected to HD-L-PAM, and higher PBPC collections seems to coincide with WBC count higher than 20 x 10(9)/l after HD-Cy and G-CSF mobilization. These results justify a prospective study to establish whether large doses of CD34+ cells result in significant clinical benefits.  相似文献

Single cytokine therapy with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or interleukin-3 (IL-3) has been shown to be effective in decreasing the respective periods of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia following radiation- or drug-induced marrow aplasia. The combined administration of IL-3 and GM-CSF in normal primates suggested that a sequential protocol of IL-3 followed by GM-CSF would be more effective than that of GM-CSF alone in producing neutrophils (PMN). We investigated the therapeutic efficacy of two combination protocols, the sequential and coadministration of recombinant human IL- 3 and GM-CSF relative to respective single cytokine therapy, and delayed GM-CSF administration in sublethally irradiated rhesus monkeys. Monkeys irradiated with 450 cGy (mixed fission neutron:gamma radiation) received either IL-3, GM-CSF, human serum albumin (HSA), or IL-3 coadministered with GM-CSF for days 1 through 21 consecutively postexposure, or IL-3 or HSA for days 1 through 7 followed by GM-CSF for days 7 through 21. All cytokines and HSA were injected subcutaneously at a total dose of 25 micrograms/kg/d, divided twice daily. Complete blood counts (CBC) and platelet (PLT) counts were monitored over 60 days postirradiation. The respiratory burst activity of the PMN was assessed flow cytometrically, by measuring hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production. Coadministration of IL-3 and GM-CSF reduced the average 16-day period of neutropenia and antibiotic support in the control animals to 6 days (P = .006). Similarly, the average 10-day period of severe thrombocytopenia, which necessitated PLT transfusion in the control animals, was reduced to 3 days when IL-3 and GM-CSF were coadministered (P = .004). The sequential administration of IL-3 followed by GM-CSF had no greater effect on PMN production than GM-CSF alone and was less effective than IL-3 alone in reducing thrombocytopenia. PMN function was enhanced in all cytokine-treated animals.  相似文献

Purified preparations of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte CSF (G-CSF), and interleukin 3 (IL-3 or multi-CSF) alone and in combination, have been compared for their stimulatory effects on human granulocyte-macrophage colony forming cells (GM-CFC). In cultures of unseparated normal human bone marrow, the combinations of G-CSF plus IL-3 and GM-CSF plus IL-3 stimulated additive numbers of GM colonies, while GM-CSF plus G-CSF stimulated greater than additive numbers of GM colonies, compared with the sum of the colony formation obtained with each factor alone. Cultures of unseparated bone marrow, harvested from patients four to six days after administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), resulted in additive GM colony formation with GM-CSF plus G-CSF, GM-CSF plus IL-3, and G-CSF plus IL-3. In order to address the possibility of secondary factor involvement in the synergistic interaction of GM-CSF and G-CSF, CD33+/CD34+ colony forming cells were separated from normal and post FU marrow by two color fluorescence activated cell sorting. In cultures of CD33+/CD34+ cells the combination of GM-CSF plus G-CSF stimulated a synergistic increase in GM colonies while GM-CSF plus IL-3 stimulated additive numbers of colonies. These results suggest that GM-CSF, G-CSF, and IL-3 stimulate distinct populations of GM-CFC. Furthermore GM-CSF and G-CSF interact synergistically and this action is a direct effect on progenitor cells not stimulated by GM-CSF or G-CSF alone.  相似文献

In order to determine the effect of GM-CSF plus G-CSF in combination in breast cancer patients receiving an effective induction regimen, we compared hematological recovery and peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) mobilization according to colony-stimulating factor (CSF) support. Forty-three breast cancer patients were treated by TNCF (THP-doxorubicin, vinorelbine, cyclophosphamide, fluorouracil, D1 to D4) with CSF support: 11 patients received GM-CSF (D5 to D14); 16 patients G-CSF (D5 to D14) and 16 patients GM-CSF (D5-D14) plus G-CSF (D10-D14). Between two subsequent cycles, progenitor cells were assessed daily, from D13 to D17. The WBC count was similar for patients receiving G-CSF alone or GM-CSF plus G-CSF, but significantly greater than that of patients receiving GM-CSF alone (P<0.001). The GM-CSF plus G-CSF combination led to better PBPC mobilization, with significantly different kinetics (P<0.001) and optimal mean values of CFU-GM, CD34+ cells and cells in cycle, at D15 compared to those obtained with G-CSF or GM-CSF alone. The significantly greater PBPC mobilization obtained with a CSF combination by D15 could be of value for PBPC collection and therapeutic reinjection after high-dose chemotherapies.  相似文献

Cyclic hematopoiesis in gray collie dogs is a stem cell disease in which abnormal regulation of cell production in the bone marrow causes cyclic fluctuations of blood cell counts. In vitro studies demonstrated that recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) all stimulated increases in colony formation by canine bone marrow progenitor cells. Based on these results, gray collie dogs were then treated with recombinant human (rh) GM-CSF, IL-3, or G-CSF subcutaneously to test the hypothesis that pharmacologic doses of one of these hematopoietic growth factors could alter cyclic production of cells. When recombinant canine G-CSF became available, it was tested over a range of doses. In vivo rhIL-3 had no effect on the recurrent neutropenia but was associated with eosinophilia, rhGM-CSF caused neutrophilia and eosinophilia but cycling of hematopoiesis persisted. However, rhG-CSF caused neutrophilia, prevented the recurrent neutropenia and, in the two animals not developing antibodies to rhG-CSF, obliterated periodic fluctuation of monocyte, eosinophil, reticulocyte, and platelet counts. Recombinant canine G-CSF increased the nadir neutrophil counts and amplitude of fluctuations at low doses (1 micrograms/kg/d) and eliminated all cycling of cell counts at high doses (5 and 10 micrograms/kg/d). These data suggest significant differences in the actions of these growth factors and imply a critical role for G-CSF in the homeostatic regulation of hematopoiesis.  相似文献

Severe thrombocytopenia in association with G-CSF therapy is extremely rare. Here we report a case of profound thrombocytopenia in a 57-year-old male with refractory cardiac ischemia, who received G-CSF during an angiogenesis trial. After 5 days of G-CSF therapy (10 microg/kg/day) the platelet count fell progressively to a nadir of 5x10(9)/L. The patient received steroid, immunoglobulin and platelet support and recovered without sequelae. Subsequent investigations suggested an underlying immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, which we hypothesize was exacerbated by G-CSF therapy.  相似文献

Summary Hematopoietic recovery in 115 patients with metastatic breast cancer or metastatic melanoma, enrolled in phase-I studies of recombinant growth factors while undergoing treatment with high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow support, was examined with assays of bone marrow progenitor cells and peripheral blood progenitor cells, and by evaluation of peripheral blood counts. Groups of patients receiving hematopoietic cytokine support [with interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-2 (IL-2), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF), or monocyte CSF (M-CSF)] post marrow infusion were compared with contemporaneous control patients not receiving growth factor support. Patients receiving GM-CSF demonstrated statistically significant increases in the growth of granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM) in the bone marrow and peripheral blood compared with control patients. The effect of GM-CSF was dose dependent in the early period post marrow infusion (day +6) with bone marrow CFU-GM colonies at doses 8–16 g/kg/ day 34 times those measured in controls. Significant increases in bone marrow multipotential progenitor cells (CFU-GEMM) were seen in patients receiving GMCSF day + 21 post marrow infusion. Patients receiving IL-1 demonstrated significant increases in bone marrow CFU-GM at day +21, maximal at dosages of 24–32 ng/kg/day. There were no significant increases in burst forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) among any study group. Patients receiving G-CSF had significantly increased absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) and total white blood cell counts (WBC) by day +11 post transplant compared with control patients. Patients receiving GM-CSF demonstrated significantly increased WBC (greater than 2000/mm3) at day +11 and ANC greater than 500/mm3 at day +16. Optimal dose of GCSF and GM-CSF to stimulate neutrophil recovery post transplant was 4–8 g/kg/day and 8–16 g/kg/day, respectively. Platelet recovery did not differ among the six study groups. These data demonstrate accelerated myeloid recovery after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow support in patients receiving either G-CSF or GM-CSF. Moreover, GM-CSF and IL-1 stimulate myelopoiesis at the level of bone marrow CFU-GM, while G-CSF causes earlier neutrophil recovery peripherally.This work has been supported in part by The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, grant P01CA47741.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate 1) the effects of lineage-specific cytokines (G-CSF and EPO) combined with ligands for different classes of cytokine receptors (common beta chain, gp130, and tyrosine kinase) on proliferation by human myeloid and erythroid progenitor cells; and 2) the signal transduction pathways associated with combinatorial cytokine actions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: CFU-GM and BFU-E were cloned in vitro. Secondary colony formation by replated CFU-GM and subcolony formation by BFU-E provided measures of progenitor cell proliferation. Studies were performed in the presence of cytokine combinations with and without signal transduction inhibitors. RESULTS: Proliferation by CFU-GM and BFU-E was enhanced synergistically when common beta chain receptor cytokines (IL-3 or GM-CSF) were combined with G-CSF or EPO, but not with gp130 receptor cytokines (LIF or IL-6) or tyrosine kinase receptor cytokines (SCF, HGF, Flt-3 ligand, or PDGF). Delayed addition studies with G-CSF+IL-3 and EPO+IL-3 demonstrated that synergy required the presence of both cytokines from the initiation of the culture. The Jak2-specific inhibitor, AG490, abrogated the effect of combining IL-3 with EPO but had no effect on the enhanced CFU-GM proliferation stimulated by IL-3+G-CSF. The PI3 kinase inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin substituted for G-CSF in combination with IL-3 since proliferation in the presence of LY294002/wortmannin+IL-3 was enhanced to the same extent as in the presence of G-CSF+IL-3. In contrast, LY294002 and wortmannin inhibited proliferation in the presence of EPO and in the presence of EPO+IL-3. CONCLUSION: 1) IL-3 may activate different signal transduction pathways when combined with G-CSF and when combined with EPO; 2) different signal transducing intermediates regulate erythroid and myeloid progenitor cell proliferation; and 3) inhibition of the PI3 kinase pathway suppresses myeloid progenitor cell differentiation and thereby increases proliferation.  相似文献

CD34+ cells isolated from bone marrow or umbilical cord blood from healthy donors were studied for proliferation and differentiation in liquid cultures in the presence of recombinant human granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte CSF (G-CSF), monocyte CSF (M-CSF), and interleukin-3 (IL-3), followed by immunophenotyping for myeloid and myeloid-associated cell surface markers. IL-3, either alone or together with GM-CSF, G-CSF, or M-CSF, induced, on average, 50-fold cell multiplication, GM-CSF five fold to 10-fold, and G-CSF and M-CSF less than fivefold. Cells from cultures stimulated with GM-CSF, G-CSF, or M-CSF alone contained cells with a "broad" myeloid profile, "broader" than observed in cultures with IL-3. However, since IL-3 induced rapid cell multiplication, high numbers of cells expressing early (CD13, CD33) and late myeloid markers (CD14, CD15) were recovered. The presence of other CSFs together with IL-3 did not alter the IL-3-induced effect on the cells. When 5,000 CD34+ cells were cultured with IL-3 alone, the cultures still contained 2,000 to 5,000 CD34+ cells after 14 days of culture, while cells cultured with GM-CSF, G-CSF, or M-CSF contained less than 1,000 CD34+ cells. Furthermore, 1,000 to 3,000 cells were positive for the megakaryocytic lineage marker CD41b after cultures with GM-CSF or IL-3, while cultures with G-CSF or M-CSF did not contain detectable numbers of CD41b+ cells. Finally, erythroid cells could also be generated from purified CD34+ cells. The results show that IL-3 and GM-CSF can induce rapid proliferation of purified CD34+ cells in vitro with differentiation to multiple myeloid lineages, while certain subsets maintain expression of CD34.  相似文献

The discovery of the haematopoietic growth factor granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has reduced infection-related morbidity in cancer patients by alleviating post-chemotherapy neutropenia. Two formulations of recombinant human (rh) G-CSF, one glycosylated and one non-glycosylated, are available. The glycosylated form, lenograstim, possesses at least 25% greater bioactivity in vitro. Some comparative studies into the preparation's potential to mobilise haematopoietic stem cells suggest a similar advantage. In the light of the great clinical importance of G-CSF, we have performed the first prospective, randomised, crossover study on children with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. G-CSF (250 microg/m(2)) was started 1 day after the chemotherapy block, and was administered until a WBC >1500/microl was achieved on 3 successive days. Thirty-three G-CSF cycles from 11 patients (16 lenograstim, 17 filgrastim) were studied. They were investigated for duration of very severe (WBC <500/microl, 9 vs 9.5 days, lenograstim vs filgrastim, median) and severe leukopenia (WBC <1000/microl, 11 vs 11 days), infections (CRP >5 mg/dl, 5 vs 5.5 days), infection-related hospital stay (11 vs 9 days) and antibiotic treatment (9 vs 9 days). Statistical evaluation by paired analysis could not detect any difference between treatment groups; the median difference for all end-points was zero. In summary, at least at 250 microg/m(2), in terms of their clinical effect on neutropenia, the two G-CSF preparations appear to have identical activity.  相似文献

Two hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors, granulocyte colony- stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF), have been shown to accelerate leukocyte and neutrophil recovery after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow (BM) support. Despite their use, a prolonged period of absolute leukopenia persists during which infections and other complications of transplantation occur. We collected large numbers of peripheral blood (PB) progenitors after CSF administration using either G-CSF or GM-CSF and tested their ability to affect hematopoietic reconstitution and resource utilization in patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous BM support. Patients with breast cancer or melanoma undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous BM support were studied in sequential nonrandomized trials. After identical high-dose chemotherapy, patients received either BM alone, with no CSF; BM with either G-CSF or GM-CSF; or BM with G-CSF or GM-CSF and G-CSF or GM-CSF primed peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC). Hematopoietic reconstitution, as well as resource utilization, was monitored in these patients. The use of CSF- primed PBPC led to a highly significant reduction in the duration of leukopenia with a white blood cell (WBC) count under 100 and 200 cells/mL, and neutrophil count under 100 and 200 cells/mL with both GM- and G-CSF primed PB progenitor cells, compared with the use of the CSF with BM or with historical controls using BM alone. In addition, the use of CSF-primed PBPC resulted in a significant reduction in median number of antibiotics used, days in the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit, and hospital resources used. Patients receiving G-CSF primed PBPC also experienced a reduction in the median number of days in the hospital, red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, platelet transfusions, days on antibiotics, and discounted hospital charges. Phenotypic analysis of the CSF-primed PBPC indicated the presence of cells bearing antigens associated with both early and late hematopoietic progenitor cells. The use of CSF-primed PBPC can significantly improve hematopoietic recovery after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous BM support. In addition, the use of G-CSF-primed PBPC was associated with a significant reduction in hospital resource utilization, and a reduction in hospital charges.  相似文献

Mononuclear cell preparations from peripheral blood after mobilization with hematopoietic growth factors have been shown to induce accelerated neutrophil and platelet recovery as compared with that induced by autologous bone marrow transplantation after myeloablative chemotherapy. Because these mononuclear cell products contain many immunocompetent cells other than hematopoietic progenitors, these accessory cells might contribute to the rapid immunohematopoietic reconstitution. We have monitored the concentrations of soluble CD4 (sCD4), sCD8, and sCD25; the recovery of the lymphocyte subsets and of natural killer (NK) cells; and the endogenous levels of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-6, and granulocyte-macrophage-CSF (GM-CSF) in 12 patients who underwent high- dose chemotherapy supported by blood stem cells that were obtained by mobilization with chemotherapy and GM-CSF. The concentrations of both G- CSF and IL-6 peaked at 7 days after reinfusion of stem cells, and this transient elevation preceded the increase in the white blood cell count by approximately 5 to 7 days. The levels of sCD4 and sCD8 increased to a maximum on day 21, and the time to peak levels coincided with the maximum increase in white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, or lymphocytes. The levels of sCD25 were found to be elevated from day 7 to day 21. Statistically, the increases in sCD4, sCD8, sCD25, G-CSF, and IL-6 were highly significant, whereas there were no significant changes in IL-3 and GM-CSF. A rapid recovery of the NK activity was found in all 8 of the patients who could be monitored for this assay. Therefore, our study suggests that recovery of CD4+ cells, CD8+ cells, and NK activity coincided with that of neutrophils, which is preceded by a marked, but transient, elevation of IL-6 and G-CSF.  相似文献
