BRIEF REPORT

Macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha uses a novel receptor for primitive hemopoietic cell inhibition

From the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, CRC Beatson Laboratories, Glasgow, Scotland; Schering-Plough Research Institute, Kenilworth, NJ; Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology and Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology, University of Texas, Austin; The Ina Sue Perlmutter Laboratory, Childrens Hospital, Boston, MA; and Serono Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Geneva, Switzerland.

Macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha ) is a member of the chemokine family of proinflammatory mediators. In addition to its inflammatory roles, MIP-1alpha 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-1alpha . This study demonstrates that of all the beta -chemokines tested, only MIP-1alpha is capable of inhibiting primitive hemopoietic cell proliferation. Because no MIP-1alpha -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-1alpha S and MIP-1alpha P variants of human MIP-1alpha and the fact that primitive cells from bone marrow derived from individual MIP-1alpha receptor null mice display a full response to MIP-1alpha inhibition.
