title: Colony-stimulating factor 1-induced Na+ influx into human monocytes involves activation of a pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP-binding protein.
abstract: Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) regulates the survival, growth, and differentiation of monocytes through binding to a single class of high affinity receptors. The present studies demonstrate that the interaction of CSF-1 with monocyte membranes is associated with a 2.4-fold increase in specific binding of the GTP analogue, GTP gamma S. Scatchard analysis of the GTP gamma S binding data indicated that CSF-1 stimulates GTP binding by increasing the affinity, rather than the number, of available sites. This stimulation of GTP binding by CSF-1 was also associated with an increase in GTPase activity. Furthermore, the CSF-1-induced stimulation of GTPase activity was sensitive to pertussis toxin. We also demonstrate that CSF-1 stimulates Na+ influx into monocytes by an amiloride-sensitive mechanism, presumably the Na+/H+ antiport. This CSF-1-stimulated influx of Na+ was further associated with an increase in Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Moreover, this stimulation of Na+ influx and Na+,K+-ATPase activity by CSF-1 was sensitive to pertussis toxin. Finally, we demonstrate that CSF-1-induced proliferation is also a pertussis toxin-sensitive event. The present findings thus suggest: 1) that the CSF-1 receptor is linked to a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein; and 2) that a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein is involved in the induction of Na+ influx by CSF-1.
