Secretion of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor by human blood monocytes is stimulated by engagement of Fc gamma receptors type I by solid-phase immunoglobulins requiring high-affinity Fc-Fc gamma receptor type I interactions. 1992

Despite reports on the secretion of granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) by murine peritoneal macrophages in response to inflammatory stimuli, the ability of human monocytes to generate this growth factor has remained doubtful. Neither endotoxin, phorbol compounds, nor inflammatory cytokines have been shown to elicit GM-CSF by these cells. Our present studies indicate that exposure of monocytes to solid-phase murine IgG2a, but not to murine IgG1 and thus cross-linkage of the 72-kDa Fc gamma RI results in transcription of the GM-CSF gene, accumulation of stable GM-CSF mRNA and finally in release of biologically active GM-CSF protein. Cross-linking of Fc gamma RI by a murine anti-Fc gamma RI monoclonal antibody and goat anti-mouse antibody failed, however, to stimulate GM-CSF release. This suggests that high affinity Fc-Fc gamma RI interactions are required for induction of expression of GM-CSF by monocytes.

D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B.

D007141 Immunoglobulin Fc Fragments Crystallizable fragments composed of the carboxy-terminal halves of both IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fc fragments contain the carboxy-terminal parts of the heavy chain constant regions that are responsible for the effector functions of an immunoglobulin (COMPLEMENT fixation, binding to the cell membrane via FC RECEPTORS, and placental transport). This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.

D011961 Receptors, Fc Molecules found on the surface of some, but not all, B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, and macrophages, which recognize and combine with the Fc (crystallizable) portion of immunoglobulin molecules. Fc Receptors,Fc Receptor,Receptor, Fc

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000943 Antigens, Differentiation Antigens expressed primarily on the membranes of living cells during sequential stages of maturation and differentiation. As immunologic markers they have high organ and tissue specificity and are useful as probes in studies of normal cell development as well as neoplastic transformation.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016178 Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor An acidic glycoprotein of MW 23 kDa with internal disulfide bonds. The protein is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the hemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. GM-CSF is able to stimulate the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from fetal liver progenitor cells. GM-CSF can also stimulate some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages.
