✦ Synopsis


Background:

Intestinal inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) is typically characterized by an inflammatory cell infiltrate and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. of particular interest, the frequency of colony stimulating factor-1 (csf-l)-expressing cells is increased in active lesions. in this study, we have investigated the role of csf-1 in mucosal inflammation, using a murine model of colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (dss).

Methods:

A neutralizing anti-csf-1 antibody was administered to balb/c mice that received dss in their drinking water. signs of colitis, such as clinical disease score, cellular infiltrate, and cytokine production, were assessed.

Results:

Administration of a neutralizing anti-csf-1 antibody significantly inhibited dss-induced colitis. clinical symptoms, such as weight loss and the appearance of diarrhea or fecal blood, were reduced by csf-1 blockade; histologic scores were also improved. the cellular infiltrate of macrophages and t cells was inhibited and a trend toward reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines was noted.

Conclusions:

This is the first study to demonstrate that csf-1 plays an important role in mediating intestinal mucosal inflammation and therefore may prove to be an attractive therapeutic target for intestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) has long been known as an antiproliferative cytokine. The mechanism of its action, however, remains elusive. Monocytes and macrophages are primary targets of IFN-gamma. To understand the antiproliferative signaling of IFNgamma, we studied the effect of IFNgamma on expres

The human leukemic cell line AML-193 was tested for its proliferative response to endogenously produced autocrine factors and to a variety of cytokines and colony-stimulating factors. Cells grown in the absence of GM-CSF incorporated tritiated thymidine, and this was partially reversed by adding neu
