Flt-3 ligand synergizes with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to
increase neutrophil numbers and to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells
with long-term repopulating potential

Flt-3 ligand (FL) shares many features with stem cell factor (SCF), a
widely documented cofactor for peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC)
mobilization. We investigated the mobilization of PBPCs by FL in
combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). As a single
agent, FL was a relatively modest mobilizer of PBPCs, resulting in 360
granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming cells (GM-CFCs)/mL blood (control,
155 GM-CFCs/mL blood) and no advantage in leukocyte recovery when these
PBPCs were transplanted to irradiated recipient mice. G-CSF, on the other
hand, mobilized over 20,000 GM-CFCs/mL blood, and the combination of G-CSF
+ FL resulted in over 100,000 GM-CFCs/mL blood. The combination of G-CSF +
FL stimulated increased levels of monocytes and basophils in the peripheral
blood. The performance of the mobilized PBPC product in irradiated hosts
correlated with progenitor numbers resulting in long-term engraftment in
association with accelerated short-term recovery of both leukocytes and
platelets. These data demonstrate the potential of FL to synergize with
G-CSF to mobilize PBPCs with both short- and long-term engraftment
potential. The effect is similar to the synergistic interaction of G-CSF
and SCF on PBPC mobilization. The use of FL as opposed to SCF may elicit a
different spectrum of toxicities including lymphoid proliferation effects,
in contrast to the mast cell degranulation effects of SCF. Clinical studies
of FL are needed to evaluate its usefulness in man.
