Endogenous GM-CSF is involved as an autocrine growth factor for human osteoblastic cells

Abstract: Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is an important modulator of hematopoietic cells. However, the role of GM-CSF in nonhematopoietic cells remains unclear. We have determined whether GM-CSF is an autocrine mitogenic factor for human osteoblastic (hOB) cells. We found by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) that hOB cells express constitutively both GM-CSF and the alpha and beta chains of the GM-CSF receptor (GMR). Immunocytochemistry showed that serum-starved hOB cell… Show more

“…The cells were cultured in serum-free medium in the presence or absence of AS or R oligonucleotides alone for 2 days, and then rhGM-CSF and/or heparin or FCS were added for 3 days. Consistent with our previous findings (31,32), hOB cells proliferated in the absence of exogenous mitogenic factors, and the basal proliferation rate was enhanced in the presence of rhGM-CSF. The rate of proliferation was similar in R-treated cells and in cells cultured in the absence of oligonucleotides.…”

“…The effect of syndecan-2 inhibition on the expression of GM-CSF receptor was also examined by immunochemistry in the same conditions. To assess that AS effectively reduced syndecan-2 levels, we used a quantitative method previously shown to be accurate in determining precise changes in protein levels under AS treatment (31,38). The number of cells expressing syndecan-2, GMR␣, and GMR␤ in the presence of AS or R oligonucleotides was counted in 3-4 wells, and the results were reported as % of total number of cells.…”

“…Conversely, however, GM-CSF seems to limit the formation of the more mature, multinucleated osteoclasts (33,65,66,76). Since osteoblasts can also be stimulated to secrete GM-CSF (21,32,51,80), it is also possible that osteoblast-derived GM-CSF contributes to the regulation of osteoclastogenesis.…”

“…[11] Increased GM-CSF also induces dose-related increases in the proliferation rate of human osteoblasts. [12] IL-18 can inhibit osteoclastogenesis by increasing osteoprotegerin in stromal or osteoblastic cells. [10] In addition to its physiological interactions with osteogenic cells, IL-18 also plays a role in pathological processes.…”
