| Popis: | We have investigated the stimulative effects of mast cell growth factor (MGF) in primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in vitro. MGF stimulated DNA synthesis of purified leukemic blasts in eight out of 10 cases and colony formation in four cases in serum-free (SF) culture. MGF synergized with interleukin-3 (IL-3; four out of 10 cases), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF; three out of 10 cases), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF; six out of 10 cases), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF; one out of 10 cases) and erythropoietin (EPO; one out of 10 cases) when added to culture in combination. Synergistic effects of MGF in combination with other CSFs were also seen in the colony assay. Antibodies against GM-CSF, M-CSF, G-CSF, and IL-6 did not inhibit the MGF response, suggesting that the stimulative effect of MGF was not mediated through autocrine release of those cytokines. Cell recovery data in liquid cultures that contained MGF, IL-3, or MGF + IL-3, indicated that both MGF and IL-3 augmented the maintenance of clonogenic cells as compared to nonsupplemented cultures, but the effect of the combination of IL-3 + MGF did not show synergy. In contrast, activation of DNA synthesis by MGF was abrogated in the presence of tumor necrosis factor (TNF; four out of 10 cases) and interleukin-4 (IL-4; two out of 10 cases). Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis with anti c-kit antibodies revealed MGF receptor expression in eight out of nine cases, often in a subpopulation of the cells. Scatchard analysis of MGF receptors in two cases indicated the presence of 1460 and 41,500 (mean) binding sites, respectively, of high affinity (Kd 40-160 pmol/l). The MGF dose-response curve in the presence of IL-3 or GM-CSF resulted in a higher plateau of DNA synthesis, however no shift in the dose response was apparent. The respective reciprocal dose response relations to GM-CSF, IL-3, or G-CSF were similarly elevated when MGF was added. MGF did not alter IL-3 and GM-CSF receptor expression, nor did IL-3, GM-CSF, G-CSF, TNF, or IL-4 influence MGF binding to AML cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) |
