Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) binds to a receptor (CSF-1R) encoded by the c-fms proto-oncogene and activates transcription of the urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) gene in murine bone-marrow-derived macrophages. This article demonstrates that the murine macrophage cell line RAW264 responds to CSF-1 with inducible phosphorylation of cytoplasmic proteins on tyrosine residues but fails to induce transcription of uPA. The defect was correlated with a selective failure to maintain CSF-1Rs on the cell surface, whereas all RAW264 cells contained abundant CSF-1Rs within the presumptive Golgi/endoplasmic reticulum compartment. Transfection with a CSF-1R expression plasmid permitted CSF-1-dependent activation of the signalling pathway targeting an Ets/AP1 (activator protein 1) element in the uPA promoter that has been shown previously to be a target of oncogenic ras and protein kinase C pathways. Mutation of the expressed CSF-1R at either Y807 or Y559, sites of receptor tyrosine phosphorylation implicated in signal transduction, reduced but did not abolish uPA promoter activation by CSF-1. Activation by mutant CSF-1R plasmids was additive; there was no evidence of mutual complementation. The results indicate that maintenance of elevated uPA transcription by CSF-1 requires new receptors emerging continuously on the cell surface. Parallel, partly redundant, signalling pathways arising from phosphorylated tyrosines on the CSF-1R activate multiple cis-acting elements on the complex uPA promoter.

The receptor for colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) is a ligand-activated protein-tyrosine kinase. It has been shown previously that the CSF-1 receptor is phosphorylated on serine in vivo and that phosphorylation on tyrosine can be induced by stimulation with CSF-1. We studied the phosphorylation of the CSF-1 receptor by using the BAC1.2F5 murine macrophage cell line, which naturally expresses CSF-1 receptors. Two-dimensional tryptic phosphopeptide mapping showed that the CSF-1 receptor is phosphorylated on several different serine residues in vivo. Stimulation with CSF-1 at 37 degrees C resulted in rapid phosphorylation on tyrosine at one major site and one or two minor sites. We identified the major site as Tyr-706. The identity of Tyr-706 was confirmed by mutagenesis. This residue is located within the kinase insert domain. There was no evidence that Tyr-973 (equivalent to Tyr-969 in the human CSF-1 receptor) was phosphorylated following CSF-1 stimulation. When cells were stimulated with CSF-1 at 4 degrees C, additional phosphotyrosine-containing phosphopeptides were detected and the level of phosphorylation of the individual phosphotyrosine-containing phosphopeptides was substantially increased. In addition, we show that CSF-1 receptors are capable of autophosphorylation at six to eight major sites in vitro.

Abstract To identify domains in hematopoietic growth factor receptors that are important for signal transduction, a hybrid receptor (GMER) was constructed by splicing the DNA of the entire extracellular and transmembrane domains of the human granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor alpha 2 subunit (GMR) to the cytoplasmic domain of the murine erythropoietin receptor (mEpoR). The hybrid receptor was introduced into the interleukin-3 factor-dependent murine hematopoietic cell line Ba/F3. Cells that expressed high receptor numbers were selected by cell sorting using phycoerythrin- labeled human GM-CSF. Immunoprecipitation of GMER from Ba/F3 cells showed a band with an Mr of 105,000 daltons. Human GM-CSF binding to Ba/F3 cells that expressed GMER showed a kd of 3.0 nmol/L and 475 binding sites/cell, while the same cells that expressed GMR had 300 sites/cell and a kd of 3.5 nmol/L. The proliferative response to GM-CSF of Ba/F3 cells that expressed GMER showed 1/2 maximal cell growth (as measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation) at a GM-CSF concentration of 2.5 x 10(-8) mol/L. When cultured in human GM-CSF, Ba/F3-GMER cells expressed cell surface glycophorin. Similar results were obtained with Ba/F3 cells transfected with the mEpoR and cultured in erythropoietin. Expression of GMR plus the human GM-CSF receptor beta chain in the same cell line also resulted in human GM-CSF stimulated proliferation; however, cell surface glycophorin was not detected. These data show that a low-affinity GM-CSF/Epo hybrid receptor can promote GM-CSF- dependent proliferation and can induce the expression of glycophorin, an erythroid-specific protein.

Abstract Recently, a human megakaryoblastic cell line, CMK, was established from the peripheral blood of a megakaryoblastic leukemia patient with Down syndrome. Using this cell line, we studied the proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytic cells in the presence of highly purified human hematopoietic factors and phorbol 12-myristate-13- acetate (PMA). In a methylcellulose culture system, interleukin-3 (IL- 3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) facilitated colony formation by CMK cells in a dose-dependent manner. The maximum stimulating doses of these factors were 10 and 200 U/mL, respectively. These concentrations were comparable to those that stimulate activity in normal hematopoietic cells. In contrast, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), and erythropoietin (EPO) had no effects on the colony formation of CMK cells. In a liquid culture system, 20% of the CMK cells expressed glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) antigen without hematopoietic factors, whereas 40% of the cells expressed GPIIb/IIIa with the addition of IL-3 and GM-CSF. EPO also slightly enhanced expression of GPIIb/IIIa. On the other hand, PMA inhibited growth of CMK cells and induced most of them to express the GPIIb/IIIa antigen. Furthermore, PMA induced CMK cells to produce growth activity toward new inocula of CMK cells. This growth factor (GF) contained colony-stimulating activity (CSA) in normal bone marrow (BM) cells. The activity was believed to be attributable mainly to GM-CSF, since 64% of this activity was neutralized by anti-GM-CSF antibodies and a transcript of GM-CSF was detected in mRNA from PMA-treated CMK cells by Northern blot analysis. These observations suggest that GM-CSF, as well as IL-3, should play an important role in megakaryocytopoiesis.
