Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a multifunctional cytokine that has been implicated in the regulation of pre-implantation embryo development across several species. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) on development of porcine parthenotes and nuclear transferred embryos, and on their expression of implantation-related genes. In the presence of bovine serum albumin, mGM-CSF did not increase the percentage of oocytes that developed to the blastocyst stage and at day 7 did not increase oocyte cell number. Addition of 10 mM GM-CSF to protein-free culture medium significantly increased the compaction and blastocoel formation of 1- to 2-cell parthenotes and cloned embryos developing in vitro. However, cell number was not increased when they were cultured in the presence of GM-CSF. Semi-quantitative reverse transcripts polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed that mGM-CSF enhances mRNA expression of the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor, but does not influence interleukin-6 or sodium/glucose co-transporter protein gene expression in blastocyst stage parthenotes. These results suggest that mGM-CSF may enhance viability of porcine embryos developing in vitro in a defined culture medium.

Plant cell culture is emerging to express bioactive foreign proteins because it has several advantages in that it is safe, economical, genetically stable and eukaryotic expression system comparing with other expression systems. However several limitations such as slow growth rate, low expression level and lack of well established down stream process need to be answered. As a preliminary approach to produce the immunologically interested molecules through the plant cell culture, we tested if granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factors (GM-CSFs) from both murine (mGM-CSF) and human (hGM-CSF) are produced as a biologically active form through plant cell culture. The murine and human GM-CSF genes were cloned into the plant expression vector, pBI121, and Ti-plasmid mediated transformation of tobacco leaves was conducted using Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring both recombinant GM-CSF (rGM-CSF) genes. Cell suspension culture was established from the leaf-derived calli of transgenic tobacco plant. Northern blot analysis indicated the expression of the introduced mGM-CSF gene in both transgenic plant and cell suspension cultures. In addition, the biological activities of both murine and human GM-CSF from plant cell culture were confirmed by measuring the proliferation of the GM-CSF dependent FDC-PI and TF-1 cells, respectively.

본 실험에서는 유전자 재조합으로 제조한 [$^{125}$ I]-labeled human GM-CSF을 사용하여 GM-CSF의 HL-60 (promyelocytic leukemic cell)의 표면에 존재하는 GM-CSF의 수용체의 특성을 알고 GM-CSF의 수용체에 어떤 parameter로 결합하는지를 밝히고 나아가 현재 사용되고 있는 유전자 재조합으로 제조된 Prokine(Sargramostim)과 Lucky에서 제조된 GM-CSF (LDB-005)의 수용체에 대한 결합율을 측정, 비교하고자 하였다. 본 실험의 결과를 보면 유전자 재조립으로 제조된 Human[$^{125}$ I] GM-CSF가 HL-60 cell에 대하여 선택적으로 결합하고 표면수용체에 saturable하게 결합함을 알 수 있었으며 scatchard analysis 결과한 종류의 GM-CSF의 K3값은 2.03$\times$$10^{9}$/M로($IC_{50}$/=~493pM) 세포당 결합부위의 수는 75개 정도로 J. DiPersio et al과 Linda S. Park et al.의 보고와 비슷한 결과를 얻었다.

Recombinant Aspergillus niger was constructed to express and secrete a biologically active murine granulaocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF). A 500 bp fragment encoding the signal peptide and terminator of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd). The hygromycin phosphotrasferase gene (hph) was used as a selection marker for the fungal transformants. An expression vector was introduced into A. niger ATCC 9642, and a Northern blot analysis indicated the presence of a considerable amount of transcripts from the introduced mGM-CSF. The biological activity of recombinant mGM-CSF (rmGM-CSF) isolated from the culture filtrate was confirmend by measuring the proliferationof the GM-CSF dependent FDC-P1 cell line. It appeared that rmGM-CSF was amenable to the proteolytic activity produced by A. niger, since biological actibity was only observed when the transformants were grown in a protease-repressing medium, and the activity of rmGM-CSF dramatically decreased with an increase of age of the culture. The yield of rmGM-CSF, as determined by ELISA. was 640 ng/l of culture filtrate. Accordingly, its specific activity is estimated to be approximately two-and-a-half times higher than that of a commercial preparation from E. coli.

형질전환된 담배세포 배양을 이용한 hGM-CSF 생산에 있어 polyurethane foam 내 고정화법을 이용하여 연속배양의 가능성을 확인하였고 spinner flask에서의 배양에 따른 영향을 알아보았다. 16일 동안 3번의 배지교환에도 세포의 활성이 유지되어 hGM-CSF 생산량은 계속적으로 증가하였다. 온도와 교반속도를 동일하게 하였을 때 spinner flask에서의 hGM-CSF 생산량은 17.3 ${\mu}g/L$으로 100-mL flask의 9.8 ${\mu}g/L$보다 증가하였다. 따라서 최적의 배지교환 속도와 양을 결정하여 spinner flask에서 연속배양을 실시할 경우 세포 재사용이라는 경쟁력과 함께 높은 hGM-CSF 생산량이 얻어질 것으로 예상된다.

Sucrose 의 경우 저농도에서는 후반부로 갈수록 세포생장 속도는 현저히 감소하는데 비해 hGM-CSF 생산은 후반부에 급격히 증가함을 확인하였다. 고농도 sucrose를 사용하는 경우에는 lag phase가 길어지는 동안에 hGM-CSF의 생산이 증가하였다. 따라서 배양 초기에는 고농도 sucrose가, 배양 후반에는 저농도 sucrose로 존재하는 경우에 hGM-CSF를 많이 얻을 수 있었다. Nitrogen source의 농도는 60.52 mM과 121.04 mM일 때가 세포의 생장이나 hGM-CSF의 생산을 증가시켰으며, phosphate의 경우에는 4.96 mM 일 때가 대조구인 2.48 mM 일 때보다 hGM-CSF의 생산을 3 배 증가시켰다.

GM-CSF는 중요한 조혈모세포 성장인자로서 면역요법에서 중요한 기능을 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 GM-CSF가 돼지 처녀생식배아의 발달과 세포 수 및 착상관련 유전자의 발현에 관한 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 돼지 처녀 활성화 배아는 GM-CSF가 5, 10, 20 ng/ml 존재 하에서 7일 동안 배양하여 배 반포의 형성율과 전 세포 수 그리고 유전자 발현을 평가하였다. 그 결과 단백질이 없는 배양액에 20 ng/ml의 GM-CSF를 첨가 하였을 때 배 반포의 형성 율이 유의적으로 증가하였으며 배반포의 세포 수 또한 GM-CSF 를 첨가한 배양액에서 증가 하였다. GM-CSF는 처녀생식 배 반포에서 interleukin-6의 mRNA 발현을 증가 시켰으나, LIF 수용체 mRNA 발현에는 영향을 주지 않는다는 것을 real time RT-PCR로 밝혀내었다. 이 결과로 GM-CSF 성분이 확인된 배양액에서 돼지 배아의 체외 발달 과 생존력을 강화 시켰음을 시사하고 있다.

Screening 실험을 통하여 결정된 주요인자인 sucrose, nitrogen, 배양온도로 인자의 최적수준을 결정하는 표면반응법중 하나인 Box-Behnken design을 수행하였다. 각 인자의 상관관계를 통하여 sucrose는 90 g/L, nitrogen은 41 mM, 온도는 $22^{\circ}C$가 최적수준으로 결정이 되었으며 확인실험을 통하여 대조구보다 세포생장이 증가하였을 뿐만 아니라 hGM-CSF의 생산도 약 2배 정도 증가되었음을 확인하였다. 이것은 고농도의 sucrose로 인해 배지내로의 hGM-CSF의 분비가 촉진되었기 때문이며 또한 저온으로 인해 분비된 hGM-CSF를 분해하는 protease 활성이 감소되었기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

The effectiveness of noninfectious recombinant adenovirus encoding murine granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) for the treatment of Meth A fibrosarcoma was investigated in syngeneic BALB/C model. Meth A and HeLa cells transduced with the recombinant adenovirus (Ad.mGM-CSF) produced substantial amounts of mGM-CSF, while WEH1164 cells transduced with the virus did not produce mGM-CSF. Mice inoculated subcutaneously with $1{\times}10^6$ Meth A cells, followed by injection of Ad.dE1 as a control, developed large tumors that reached a mean tumor size of 22 mm by day 30. However, tumor development and tumorigenicity were significantly inhibited in mice with a single intratumoral injection of Ad.mGM-CSF at $1{\times}10^8\;pfu$. Histological examination of the tumors injected with Ad.mGM-CSF revealed dense infiltrates of neutrophils, histiocytes, lymphocytes, and eosinophils associated with apoptotic cell death. The results suggest that the recombinant adenovirus encoding GM-CSF have a potential use for cancer gene therapy.

Members of the colony stimulating factor cytokine family play important roles in macrophage activation and recruitment to inflammatory lesions. Among them, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is known to be associated with immune response to mycobacterial infection. However, the mechanism through which Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) affects the expression of GM-CSF is poorly understood. Using PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells, we found that MTB infection increased GM-CSF mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner. Induction of GM-CSF mRNA expression peaked 6 h after infection, declining gradually thereafter and returning to its basal levels at 72 h. Secretion of GM-CSF protein was also elevated by MTB infection. The increase in mRNA expression and protein secretion of GM-CSF caused by MTB was inhibited in cells treated with inhibitors of p38 MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK-1), and PI3-K. These results suggest that up-regulation of GM-CSF by MTB is mediated via the PI3-K/MEK1/p38 MAPK-associated signaling pathway.
