We studied phenotype, function and differentiation of mononuclear phagocytes in 11 cancer patients treated subcutaneously with 10O microg/kg recombinant human (rhu) GM-CSF for 7 d. The rhuGM-CSF treatment induced (1) a 5.9-fold increase in the number of blood monocytes (MO), (2) a decrease of CD14bright/CD16bright cells with a diminution of the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD14, and (3) a decrease of MO cellular cytotoxicity. In patients' sera, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-10, IL-12, neopterin, macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) increased, whereas GM-CSF and granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) decreased after an initial peak. In whole blood samples the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated release of TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1RA increased initially, whereas IL-1beta, IL-10 and IL-12 decreased. During differentiation from MO to macrophages (MAC), interferon (IFN)-gamma-stimulated tumour cytotoxicity increased, but both MO and MAC were less cytotoxic upon rhuGM-CSF treatment. The differentiation-associated increase of LPS-induced TNF-alpha, IL-1RA and IL-10 secretion was reduced by the rhuGM-CSF treatment, and the expression of CD14 on MAC as well as the proportion of CD14+/CD16+, CD14+/MAX.1+ and CD14+/CD71+ cells in 7-d cultured MAC declined. We interpret these findings as (1) an increase of immature MO upon rhuGM-CSF therapy, (2) a priming effect on the LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokine repertoire of MO, and (3) an impact of rhuGM-CSF on the capacity of MO to differentiate to MAC in vitro.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
