## Abstract The blast cells in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) respond to many of the same regulatory mechanisms that control normal hemopoiesis. These include the growth factors that bind to membrane receptors and steroid hormones or vitamins that have intracellular receptors. We report the effe

โฆ Synopsis
Recombinant hemopoietic colony-stimulating factors (CSFs), including GM-CSF, G-CSF and IL-3, have been shown to be effective stimulators of both self-renewal and terminal differentiation of blast stem cells in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). We have examined the activity of a fourth growth factor, recombinant CSF-1 (or M-CSF), on the growth of leukemic blasts in culture. CSF-1 was found to be active on some, but not all, blast populations. In sensitive cells, CSF-1 often stimulated the production of adherent blast cells incapable of division. This observation leads us to suggest that CSF-1 may be useful in the treatment of selected cases of AML.

Myelopoietic growth factors are known to influence the growth in culture of malignant blast cells from human Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML). We have used cDNA clones for the factor CSF-1 and its receptor fms to study DNA and RNA from the blasts of 25 AML patients. The CSF-1 gene was always in the
