cellular
• increased cell death in GMPs and their progeny during culture with GM-CSF up to the fifth generation
|
• no elevation of neutrophils 18 days after induced myelosuppression by 5-FU injection
• severely impaired GM-CSF-induced increase of peripheral blood neutrophils
|
• longer generation times in every generation (F1 through F4) during culture with GM-CSF compared with control cells
|
hematopoietic system
• decreased absolute number of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) from both femora and tibiae per mouse
• decreased absolute number of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMPs) from both femora and tibiae per mouse
• impaired colony formation of GMPs
• reduced numbers of mutant colonies by more than 50% in the presence of GM-CSF
• the average cell number of a mutant GMP-derived colony is only 11% of that from control GMPs
• normal percentage of GMPs in BMMNCs
|
• no elevation of neutrophils 18 days after induced myelosuppression by 5-FU injection
• severely impaired GM-CSF-induced increase of peripheral blood neutrophils
|
• decreased white blood cell counts
|
• decreased absolute number of peripheral neutrophils by 50% in homeostasis 3 weeks after PolyIC injection
|
• decreased lymphocytes counts (70% decrease)
|
• decreased monocytes counts (44% decrease)
|
• only 65% of mutant bone marrow neutrophils, compare with virtually all cells from control animals survive for 36 hours in the presence of GM-CSF
