✦ Synopsis
Purified colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) (or macrophage colony stimulating factor [M-CSF]) stimulated the glucose uptake of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) and resident peritoneal macrophages (RPM) as measured by 3H-2-deoxyglucose (2-DOG) uptake. Similar concentrations of CSF-1 stimulated the 2-DOG uptake and DNA synthesis in BMM. Other purified hemopoietic growth factors, granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) and interleukin-3 (IL-3) (or multi-CSF), and the tumor promoter, 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), even though differing in their mitogenic capabilities on BMM, were also stimulators of 2-DOG uptake in BMM and RPM.
