The growth of the human leukemia cell line AML-193 in a serum-free medium is strictly dependent o n the presence of the cytokine granulocyte-macrophage COIL ony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which is one of the major regulators of the myelomonocytic lineage. At present, little is known about the mech

โฆ Synopsis
The SV40 transformed murine macrophage cell line, BACl, proliferates in response to the colony stimulating factor, CSF-1 (Schwarzbaum et al., J. Immunol., 7321158, 1984). In order to obtain a cell line suitable for biochemical and genetic studies of CSF-1 signal transduction, clones of BACl were established. Clones ranged from being completely autonomous to being completely dependent on CSF-1 for growth. Cells of one clone (2F5), which proliferated in response to either CSF-1 or granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) were characterized in detail. The kinetics of receptor-mediated internalization and intracellular destruction of CSF-1 were comparable to the kinetics observed with peritoneal exudate macrophages. CSF-1 was shown to regulate cell spreading, cell survival, protein degradation, and the duration of the GI and S phases of the cell cycle. The 2F5 clone therefore exhibits a number of CSF-1 stimulated responses and is being used for genetic and biochemical studies of CSF-1 action.
