title: Expression of hematopoietic growth factor RNAs in human mesenchymal cells from various organs.
abstract: Experiments were undertaken to study expression of hematopoietic growth factor RNAs in mesenchymal cells from a variety of organs including bone marrow, foreskin, gingiva, and lung. Cells from each organ had negligible expression of RNAs coding for granulocyte (G), macrophage (M), and granulocyte-macrophage (GM) colony stimulating factor (CSF), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), and IL-6. Fibroblasts from each tissue had a comparable ability to express the same cytokine RNAs. Surprisingly, the stimuli for expression of G-CSF RNA was disparate from the stimuli for expression of the other cytokine RNAs. While IL-1 beta enhanced accumulation of G-CSF RNA, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) did not. In contrast, IL-1 beta, TNF, and TPA equally stimulated increased levels of M-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-1 beta and IL-6 RNAs.
