In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study, 10 healthy men received either a single dose of 480 mu g granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or saline. Blood taken from the volunteers was stimulated with 10 mu g/mL endotoxin and released cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Expression of G-CSF receptors on leukocytes was examined by flow cytometry and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Functional activity of these receptors was tested by challenging isolated leukocyte populations to release cytokines with endotoxin in the presence of G-CSF. The G-CSF treatment attenuated the release of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-12, IL-1 beta, and interferon (IFN)-gamma in ex vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated whole blood, In blood from untreated volunteers the presence of G-CSF in vitro also attenuated the LPS-stimulated release of these cytokines. G-CSF in vitro also attenuated TNF-alpha release from elutriation-purified monocytes, In the presence of 10 ng/mL recombinant TNF-alpha, the attenuation of LPS-inducible lFN-gamma release by G-CSF was blunted in whole blood. However, G-CSF had no such effect on IFN-gamma release from isolated lymphocytes stimulated with anti-CDS or a combination of TNF-alpha and IL-12, G-CSF receptor expression was detected in human neutrophils and monocytes but not in lymphocytes by means of RT-PCR as well as flow cytometry, These results indicate that G-CSF receptors expressed on monocytes are functional in modulating monokine release. We conclude that the attenuation of IFN-gamma release from lymphocytes is not a direct effect of G-CSF on these cells but is rather due to the inhibition of monocytic IL-12 and TNF-alpha release by G-CSF.
