title: Colony stimulating factor-1 stimulates diacylglycerol generation in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages, but not in resident peritoneal macrophages.
abstract: Colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) stimulates DNA synthesis in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM); however, unlike BMM, murine resident peritoneal macrophages (RPM) undergo a poor proliferative response. It has previously been shown that phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis is not associated with CSF-1 action in BMM. In this report we demonstrate that, despite a lack of inositol trisphosphate generation, CSF-1 transiently elevated both [3H]myristoyl- and [3H]arachidonyl-diacylglycerol (DAG) in BMM in a dose-dependent fashion. CSF-1 failed, however, to stimulate an increase in either species of DAG in RPM. Thus, DAG could be a second messenger for the proliferative action of CSF-1 in macrophages. Other mitogenic agents, 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and exogenous phospholipase C, also increased BMM levels of [3H]myristoyl- and [3H]arachidonyl-DAG. The nonmitogenic agents, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and zymosan, had different effects on the generation of either species of DAG in BMM. LPS failed to elevate either form, TNF-alpha increased only [3H]arachidonyl-DAG, while zymosan stimulated levels of both species of DAG. It therefore appears that increased diacylglycerol generation may be necessary, but perhaps not sufficient, for macrophage proliferation.
