title: [M-CSF levels during peripheral blood stem cell harvest and autologous stem cell transplantation].
abstract: Plasma macrophage colony-stimulating factor(M-CSF) levels were determined during peripheral blood stem cell harvest and autologous stem cell transplantation(PBSCT). Plasma of 10 patients were analyzed by using ELISA system. The average peak values during PBSCT were quite higher than those during harvest(20,092 vs 1,681 pg/ml). Peak values were observed mainly around leukocyte nadir(Phase II) during harvest. On the other hand, they were detected just after pretreatment(Phase I) during PBSCT courses. Moreover, samples showing extremely high M-CSF values(Phase I) were associated with increase in serum LDH levels. These data suggest that plasma M-CSF in Phase I are mainly derived from chemotherapy-induced cellular damage during PBSCT courses, and there might be different mechanisms to raise M-CSF around the nadir of leukocytes. It is necessary to elucidate the biological meanings of M-CSF.
