title: Diversity and similarity in signaling pathways of hematopoietic growth factors in human leukemia cell lines.
abstract: Diversity and similarity in signaling pathways of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and stem cell factor (SCF) in five human factor-responsive leukemia cell lines were investigated by immunoblotting to detect tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins. G-CSF induced tyrosine phosphorylation of a set of proteins with few different components according to the cell lines. IL-3 also induced phosphorylation of several proteins. In a lymphoid cell line, phosphorylation patterns induced by IL-3 were somewhat different from that in myeloid cell lines. Phosphorylation patterns by G-CSF and those by IL-3 were similar in myeloid cell lines. In a cell line which responded to both IL-3 and SCF, almost similar sets of proteins were phosphorylated by each, although phosphorylation of a 92-KDa protein was specific to IL-3 and that of a 140-200-KDa protein was specific to SCF. Taken together, proliferative growth factors induced tyrosine phosphorylation of similar sets of proteins with little difference according to each growth factor and each target cell line.
