Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is an inhibitor of the growth and differentiation of immature hematopoietic progenitors in vitro; however, we have demonstrated that TGF-beta 1 can promote granulopoiesis in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in vitro. We therefore examined the effect of the combined administration of TGF-beta 1 and GM-CSF in vivo. First, TGF-beta 1 enhanced the specific binding of GM-CSF (2.0-fold) on bone marrow cells, reaching a maximum 40 hours after injection, while the specific binding of interleukin-3 (IL-3) was unaffected. Using GM-CSF-specific binding to determine the optimal regimen for cytokine administration in vivo, we found that the administration of TGF-beta 1 and GM-CSF in sequence increased myelopoiesis. Total numbers of colony-forming units-granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM) and myeloblasts per femur were increased above the level obtained with the simultaneous injection of TGF-beta 1 plus GM-CSF, GM-CSF alone or TGF-beta 1 alone. Further, the sequential administration of TGF-beta 1 and GM-CSF resulted in enhanced numbers of mature granulocytes in both the bone marrow and peripheral blood. In contrast, the sequential combination of TGF-beta 1 and GM-CSF did not enhance the numbers or increase the recovery of erythroid cells in the bone marrow. These results show that TGF-beta 1 in vivo as in vitro has a multifunctional effect on bone marrow progenitors, and by using an optimal combination of TGF-beta 1 and GM-CSF in vivo, one can selectively increase both the central and peripheral granulopoietic compartments.

D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
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.
