title: Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor induces neutrophils to secrete macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
abstract: In this work we provide evidence showing that granulocytes produce macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) from the band cell stage and secrete this factor when induced to differentiate into polymorphonuclear cells by recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF). Using an enriched population of myeloid band cells from murine bone marrow, we identified the presence of M-CSF with a chromophore-labelled monoclonal anti-M-CSF antibody. Using ELISA we detected the secretion of M-CSF in the supernatants of cultures of enriched band cells when induced with rhG-CSF to differentiate into mature neutrophils. We also found that M-CSF is the only factor responsible for the colony forming activity in the supernatants and lysates of band cells treated with rhG-CSF.
