The effects of interferon on granulopoiesis in vitro. 1984

M R Müller, and V Hofmann, and M Cogoli, and J Erni, and S Arrenbrecht

Colony formation by myeloid progenitor cells (CFU-c) in agar was inhibited to the same extent by heterogeneous human leucocyte IFN (IFN-Le) and 2 different cloned IFN-alpha 2 preparations, but approximately 10 times less by cloned IFN-alpha 1; cluster formation remained unaffected by any of the interferons. An anti-proliferative effect is suggested by both lower cell yield and DNA synthesis in IFN containing liquid cultures. Incubation of cells with IFN for 18 h prior to plating with colony stimulating factor (CSF) reduced colony formation, indicating an altered responsiveness of CFU-c to CSF. In IFN treated cultures no consistent block of morphological differentiation occurred, but granulocyte alkaline phosphatase activity was reduced. Thus, IFN may play a modulatory role on functional markers. Our results indicate that the effects observed with heterogeneous preparations are due to IFN and not to impurities and that various differentiation parameters are unequally affected by IFN.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
