Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is a critical cytokine in the development of monocytic lineage and may have immunoregulatory properties. Here we show that peritoneal antigen presenting cells (APCs) treated with M-CSF produced decreased levels of proinflammatory cytokines IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and IL-12. These APCs treated with M-CSF+autoantigen peptide significantly suppressed antigenspecific T cell proliferation, induced regulatory CD4(+), and CD8(+) T cells in vitro and in vivo, and significantly suppressed experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Thus, in vitro treatment of APCs with M-CSF+autoantigen can be a novel therapeutic option for autoiinmune diseases. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
