Apoptosis is accelerated in the myeloid progenitor cells of patients with severe congenital neutropenia (CN). Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) increases neutrophil numbers in most CN patients. The effect of G-CSF on apoptosis in CN was analysed by apoptosis rate and expression of anti- and pro-apoptotic factors. G-CSF-treated patients showed higher apoptosis frequency, lower expression of bcl-2 and bcl-xL, but higher expression of bfl-1/A1 and mcl-1. Caspase 9 was highly expressed in patients and controls after G-CSF administration. Thus, G-CSF acts on apoptosis regulation, but additional mechanisms leading to the increase of neutrophil numbers must be assumed.
