METHODS Using murine peritoneal exudate macrophage (PEM) and macrophage cell line J 774 A.1 as targets, LPS effects on M CSF and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM CSF) stimulated macrophage colony forming cells (CFU M) were detected. 125 I GM CSF receptor binding assay was used to examine LPS regulation on GM CSF receptor expression. RT PCR was employed to test TGF β 1 inhibition on IFN γ mRNA expression on macrophage induced by LPS. RESULTS Without direct effect on macrophage proliferation, LPS could inhibit the macrophage proliferation stimulated by GM CSF. However, with the concomitant existence of GM CSF and TGF β 1, the LPS inhibitory effect was eliminated. RT PCR analysis indicated that the strongest macrophage growth inhibitory factor IFN γ mRNA expression in macrophage induced by LPS was remarkably suppressed by TGF β 1, 125 I GM CSF receptor binding assay showed that LPS could enhance GM CSF receptor expression likewise as TGF β 1 . CONCLUSIONS LPS is involved in the network of macrophage proliferative regulation by multiple cytokines, displaying inhibitory and stimulatory effects based on the coexisting cytokines.展开更多
