Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is one of several hemopoietic growth factors produced by stromal cell lines derived from the adherent layer of long-term bone marrow cultures (LTBMCs). To evaluate the potential role of IL-6 in stromal cell-dependent myelopoiesis, we established LTBMCs and verified that IL-6 mRNA is transcribed by heterogeneous adherent cell layers and that IL-6 protein is present in culture supernatants. Established LTBMCs were then depleted of IL-6 by using a specific neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb). Cultures treated for 2-3 weeks with anti-IL-6 mAb showed decreased production of maturing myeloid cells and colony-forming progenitor cells (colony-forming units in culture, CFU-c) but not stem cells (spleen colony-forming units, CFU-s). In parallel experiments, it was also found that the addition of IL-6 to LTBMCs stimulated a marked increase in total cell production, CFU-c, and day-8 CFU-s. In sum, it appears that endogenous production of IL-6, although limiting, is essential for the normal level of myelopoiesis associated with stromal cell function in LTBMCs.
