RESUMO
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) plays a critical role in growth and differentiation of myeloid cells. We previously reconstituted high-affinity human GM-CSF receptor (hGM-CSFR) in a pro-B cell line, BA/F3, by cotransfecting alpha- and beta-chain cDNA clones and showed that the reconstituted receptor could transduce growth-promoting signals. The high-affinity hGM-CSFR was also reconstituted in mouse NIH 3T3 cells, but its ability to transduce signals in fibroblasts remained undetermined. In the present study, we further characterized signal transduction by the reconstituted hGM-CSFR in both NIH 3T3 cells and BA/F3 cells. We found that the reconstituted hGM-CSFR transduces signals in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and BA/F3 cells in response to hGM-CSF to activate transcription of the c-fos, c-jun, and c-myc proto-oncogenes. hGM-CSF also induces protein tyrosine phosphorylation and DNA synthesis in both cell types. These results indicated that hGM-CSFR is functional in fibroblasts, that signal transduction via hGM-CSFR in fibroblasts involves tyrosine kinase(s), and that association of hGM-CSFR with a factor(s) specific to hematopoietic cell lineage is not essential to transduce growth-promoting signals.
