Abstract
The regulation of myelopoiesis in vivo most likely entails a complex set of interactions between cell-derived biomolecules and their target cells: hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and accessory cells. Stimulating and suppressing factors have been characterized through in vitro studies, and their mechanisms of action in vitro and in vivo have begun to be elucidated. Among those factors being studied are the hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors (CSF): interleukin-3 (multi-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage-CSF, granulocyte-CSF, and macrophage-CSF; other molecules include erythropoietin, B-cell-stimulating factor-1, interleukin-1, interleukin-2, prostaglandin E, leukotrienes, acidic ferritins, lactoferrin, transferrin, the interferons-gamma, -alpha, and -beta, and the tumor necrosis factors-alpha and -beta (lymphotoxin). These factors interact to modulate blood cell production in vitro and in vivo. The proposed review characterizes these biomolecules biochemically and functionally, including receptor-ligand interactions and the secondary messengers within the cell which mediate their functional activity. The production and action of the molecules are described under conditions of hematopoietic disorders, as well as under normal conditions. Studies in vitro are correlated with studies in vivo using animal models to give an overall view of what is known about these molecules and their relevance physiologically and pathologically.
