Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1 ) is a member of the
chemokine family of proinflammatory mediators. In addition to its
inflammatory roles, MIP-1 has been shown to be active as an
inhibitor of primitive hemopoietic cell proliferation. Indeed, a
dysfunction in this inhibitory process has been postulated to contribute to leukemogenesis. Research has been aimed at characterizing the receptor involved in cellular inhibition by MIP-1 . This study demonstrates that of all the -chemokines tested, only MIP-1 is
capable of inhibiting primitive hemopoietic cell proliferation. Because
no MIP-1 -specific receptors have been identified, this suggests
that inhibition is mediated by an uncharacterized receptor. Further
evidence for the involvement of a novel receptor in this process is the
equivalent potencies of MIP-1 S and MIP-1 P variants of human
MIP-1 and the fact that primitive cells from bone marrow derived
from individual MIP-1 receptor null mice display a full response to
MIP-1 inhibition.
