The present study examined the effects of subcutaneous injection of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (50 pg/kg) over 5 days in a model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion with intraluminal filament occlusion in rats. The results indicated that recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor reduced brain infarct volume following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats, down-regulated the expression of caspase-3 mRNA (a key protease for apoptosis in the cerebral ischemia zone), lowered the rate of neuronal apoptosis in the cerebral ischemia zone, and notably ameliorated neurological function. These results indicate that recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor has anti-apoptotic effects on neurons following focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, and exerts neuroprotective effects.展开更多

Three days after B16F10 inoculation,WGM-CSF or VVTK, a thymidine kinase gene deficient control vaccinia virus, were injected intraperitoneally twice weekly for 2 weeks. Two weeks later, the mice were sacrificed and pulmonary metastasis fool counted.The results demonstrated that VVGM-CSF treatment significantly decreased the number of pulmonary metastasis and prolonged the survival time of tumorbearing mice. Cytotoxic and phagocytic activities of the peritoncal macrophages were found to be markedly elevated in mice treated with WGM-CSF. Nitric oxide released from the macrophages was also found to be increased. These data, together with our other results,strongly demonstrated that continuous secretion of GMCSF and activation of macrophages might pal-tially explain the therapeutic effects of VVGM-CSF on murine pulmonary metastasis.展开更多

This s...The dysfunction of vascular endothelial cells plays a key role in startingand facilitating restenosis. The acceleration of intima repair and the recovery of endothelialfunction would reduce the restenosis rate. This study was undertaken to assess the effect ofgranulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor ( GM-CSF) on the repair of damaged iliac arteries.Twenty-four male New Zealand white rabbits undergoing primary iliac artery deendothelialization wererandomly divided into two groups ( GM-CSF group and control group) . The GM-CSF group received asubcutaneous injection of GM-CSF (10 μg ? kg^(-1) ? d^(-1) ) , and the control groupwas given a subcutaneous injection of equivalent saline. The iliac arteries of all animals weredamaged by balloon after 7 days. The levels of nitric oxide ( NO) were detected before, 1 week, 2weeks and 4 weeks after angioplasty. The repair and hyperplasia of the intima were observedmicroscopically and the indices of stenosis were evaluated by computerized planimetry after 4 weeksof angioplasty. The NO levels of the GM-CSF group were higher than those of the control group 2weeks and 4 weeks after angioplasty [91.92 +-11.57) μmol/L vs. (81. 67 +- 12. 18) μmol/L; (97. 67+- 10. 13 ) ( μmol/L vs. (83. 16 +-12. 64) μmol/L]. Four weeks after balloon damage,histological examination showed that neointima formation, vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroustissue of the GM-CSF group were less than those of the control group. The endothelium of the GM-CSFgroup was more integrated, and stenosis of lumen was slighter than that of the control group.Morphometry showed the lumen area of the GM-CSF group was larger than that of the control group[(1.27 +-0. 31) mm^2 vs. (0. 92 +- 0. 24) mm^2 ] , the neointimal area and percent of intimahyperplasia were significantly smaller than those of the control group [ (0. 85 +-0. 34) mm vs. (1.18 +-0. 38) mm^2; (40 +- 7)% vs. (55 +- 6)%]. GM-CSF could facilitate the repair of the intima,reduce neointima formation, better the function of the endothelium, and decrease the rate ofrestenosis.展开更多

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

文摘The neuroprotective effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury are currently contentious. The present study examined the effects of subcutaneous injection of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (50 pg/kg) over 5 days in a model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion with intraluminal filament occlusion in rats. The results indicated that recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor reduced brain infarct volume following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats, down-regulated the expression of caspase-3 mRNA (a key protease for apoptosis in the cerebral ischemia zone), lowered the rate of neuronal apoptosis in the cerebral ischemia zone, and notably ameliorated neurological function.

文摘Objective To observe the efficacy of treating intrauterine infected chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier children with a combination of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM CSF) or hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) plus recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (rHBvac) Methods A total of 27 chronic HBV infected children, who were born to HBV carrier mothers and received hepatitis B immunoprophylaxis at birth, were randomized into 2 groups: one receiving a combined therapy of 50 μg of GM CSF plus 10 μg of rHBvac injected intramuscularly at the same location (GM CSF group, 14 children) or 200 IU HBIG and 10 μg rHBvac in different muscles (HBIG group, 13 children) on a monthly four dose schedule HBV DNA quantification and other HBV serological markers were tested before and after the four dose therapy Results Twelve children in each group completed the study Of them, 3 children in the GM CSF group and 4 in the HBIG group had elevated serum alanine transaminase (ALT) before the trial, and then 2 in each group became ALT normal after the treatment Before the therapy, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positivity was found in nine children in the GM CSF group and 10 in the HBIG group One from each group had an HBeAg/anti HBe seroconversion after the treatment The quantity of HBV DNA was significantly lower after the treatment ( P =0 023) in GM CSF group, but was not significantly reduced in HBIG group No subjects were found to be negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) after the treatment, and no serious adverse events occurred in either group Conclusion Combined GM CSF and rHBvac therapy inhibit HBV replication in carrier children who were not protected after treatment with immunoprophylaxis
文摘The dysfunction of vascular endothelial cells plays a key role in startingand facilitating restenosis. The acceleration of intima repair and the recovery of endothelialfunction would reduce the restenosis rate. This study was undertaken to assess the effect ofgranulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor ( GM-CSF) on the repair of damaged iliac arteries.Twenty-four male New Zealand white rabbits undergoing primary iliac artery deendothelialization wererandomly divided into two groups ( GM-CSF group and control group) . The GM-CSF group received asubcutaneous injection of GM-CSF (10 μg ? kg^(-1) ? d^(-1) ) , and the control groupwas given a subcutaneous injection of equivalent saline. The iliac arteries of all animals weredamaged by balloon after 7 days. The levels of nitric oxide ( NO) were detected before, 1 week, 2weeks and 4 weeks after angioplasty. The repair and hyperplasia of the intima were observedmicroscopically and the indices of stenosis were evaluated by computerized planimetry after 4 weeksof angioplasty. The NO levels of the GM-CSF group were higher than those of the control group 2weeks and 4 weeks after angioplasty [91.92 +-11.57) μmol/L vs. (81. 67 +- 12. 18) μmol/L; (97. 67+- 10. 13 ) ( μmol/L vs. (83. 16 +-12. 64) μmol/L]. Four weeks after balloon damage,histological examination showed that neointima formation, vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroustissue of the GM-CSF group were less than those of the control group. The endothelium of the GM-CSFgroup was more integrated, and stenosis of lumen was slighter than that of the control group.Morphometry showed the lumen area of the GM-CSF group was larger than that of the control group[(1.27 +-0. 31) mm^2 vs. (0. 92 +- 0. 24) mm^2 ] , the neointimal area and percent of intimahyperplasia were significantly smaller than those of the control group [ (0. 85 +-0. 34) mm vs. (1.18 +-0. 38) mm^2; (40 +- 7)% vs. (55 +- 6)%]. GM-CSF could facilitate the repair of the intima,reduce neointima formation, better the function of the endothelium, and decrease the rate ofrestenosis.
文摘AIMS To study the regulatory effects of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in murine macrophage proliferation . 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.
文摘Background:Steady-state bone marrow (SS-BM) and granulocyte colony-stimulating growth factor-primed BM/peripheral blood stem-cell (G-BM/G-PBSC) are the main stem-cell sources used in allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.Here,we evaluated the treatment effects of SS-BM and G-BM/G-PBSC in human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling transplantation.Methods:A total of 226 patients (acute myelogenous leukemia-complete remission 1,chronic myelogenous leukemia-chronic phase 1) received SS-BM,G-BM,or G-PBSC from an HLA-identical sibling.Clinical outcomes (graft-versus-host disease [GVHD],overall survival,transplant-related mortality [TRM],and leukemia-free survival [LFS]) were analyzed.Results:When compared to SS-BM,G-BM gave faster recovery time to neutrophil or platelet (P 〈 0.05).Incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute GVHD and extensive chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was lower than seen with SS-BM (P 〈 0.05) and similar to G-PBSC.Although the incidence of cGVHD in the G-BM group was similar to SS-BM,both were lower than G-PBSC (P 〈 0.05).G-BM and G-PBSC exhibited similar survival,LFS,and TRM,but were significantly different from SS-BM (P 〈 0.05).There were no significant differences in leukemia relapse rates among the groups (P 〉 0.05).Conclusions:G-CSF-primed bone marrow shared the advantages of G-PBSC and SS-BM.We conclude that G-BM is an excellent stem-cell source that may be preferable to G-PBSC or SS-BM in patients receiving HLA-identical sibling hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.
