Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and Fas-ligand can mediate potent inhibitory signals in haemopoietic cells. Clinical and laboratory studies have suggested the involvement of these cytokines in the regulation of normal haemopoiesis and in the pathophysiology of bone marrow (BM) failure syndromes. As the effects of cytokines may also be regulated at the cellular receptor level, we studied the expression and modulation of TNF receptor (TNFR), IFN-gammaR and Fas-R on haemopoietic progenitor cells. In freshly isolated BM, using flow cytometry, TNFR1 (p55), TNFR2 (p75), IFN-gammaR, and Fas-R were detected on 5-12% of mononuclear cells. Two-colour staining showed comparable receptor expression on a CD34+ population, which includes haemopoietic progenitor and stem cells. Using reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) transcription of mRNA coding for these receptors was demonstrated in fresh, highly purified CD34+ cells. These findings indicate that the effects of these factors on progenitor cells may be directly mediated. In cultured BM cells, expression of TNFR1 was not influenced by IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha or apoptosis-inducing anti-Fas monoclonal antibody (mAb). IFN-gamma decreased CD34+ cell TNFR2 expression. CD34+ cell Fas-R expression was increased by IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha. IFN-gammaR expression was enhanced by anti-Fas mAb and to lesser degree with TNF-alpha. Similar results were obtained with RT-PCR analysis in cultured CD34+ cells. Potentiation of anti-Fas mAb-mediated inhibition of haemopoietic colony formation by IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha was observed. Similarly, anti-Fas mAb enhanced the inhibitory effects of IFN-gamma. These results suggest that, in addition to interacting at the level of intracellular signalling pathways, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha or Fas-ligand may potentiate or antagonize their effects through modulation of cytokine receptor expression.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D000096743 Interferon gamma Receptor A heterodimeric receptor composed of two subunits IFNGR1 and IFNGR2. Activated IFNGR1 subunit is believed to form a docking site for SIGNAL TRANSDUCER AND ACTIVATOR OF TRANSCRIPTION 1 (STAT1). IFNGR2 associates with IFNGR1 to form a receptor for the cytokine interferon gamma (IFNG).

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
D017471 Receptors, Interferon Specific molecular sites or structures on or in cells with which interferons react or to which they bind in order to modify the function of the cells. Interferons exert their pleiotropic effects through two different receptors. alpha- and beta-interferon crossreact with common receptors, while gamma-interferon initiates its biological effects through its own specific receptor system.
