Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been found to act
on the neutrophilic lineage. We recently showed that human G-CSF
(hG-CSF) has effects similar to early-acting cytokines such as
interleukin-3 (IL-3) in the development of multipotential hematopoietic progenitors in transgenic (Tg) mice expressing receptors (R) for hG-CSF. In the present study, we examined the effects of hG-CSF on more
mature hematopoietic cells committed to megakaryocytic lineage in these
Tg mice. The administration of hG-CSF to the Tg mice increased the
numbers of both platelets in peripheral blood and megakaryocytes in the
spleen, indicating that hG-CSF stimulates megakaryopoiesis in the Tg
mice in vivo. The stimulatory effect of hG-CSF was also supported by
the results of studies in vitro. hG-CSF supported megakaryocyte colony
formation in a dose-dependent fashion in clonal cultures of bone marrow
cells derived from the Tg mice. Direct effects of hG-CSF on
megakaryocytic progenitors in the Tg mice were confirmed by culture of
single-cell sorted from bone marrow cells. hG-CSF showed a stronger
effect on maturation of megakaryocytes in the Tg mice than that of IL-3 alone, but weaker than that of TPO alone. In addition, hG-CSF induced
phosphorylation of STAT3 but not Jak2 or STAT5, while TPO induced
phosphorylation of both. In contrast to TPO, hG-CSF did not enhance
ADP-induced aggregation. Thus, hG-CSF has a wide variety of functions
in megakaryopoiesis of hG-CSFR-Tg mice, as compared with other
megakaryopoietic cytokines, but the activity of hG-CSF in
megakaryocytes and platelets does not stand up to a comparison with
that of TPO. Specific signals may be required for the full maturation
and activation of platelets.
