Article Title: Basic fibroblast growth factor counteracts the suppressive effect of transforming growth factor-β1 on human myeloid progenitor cells
Abstract: We have previously shown that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is mitogenic for human bone marrow stromal cells and enhances myelopoiesis in human long-term bone marrow culture. In the present study, we examined the mechanism by which bFGF enhances granulopoiesis. We observed that bFGF significantly abrogated the inhibitory effect of transforming growth factor- β1 (TGF-β1) on granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)- supported progenitor cell growth (P = .009). The partial reversal of TGF- β1-mediated suppression was dependent on the dose of bFGF used. In addition, we noted that the inclusion of neutralizing antibody to TGF-β1 significantly augmented the clonogenic response to GM-CSF. We have also shown that 10 ng/mL or 100 ng/mL of bFGF resulted in a 30% to 100% increase in GM-CSF-mediated progenitor cell growth (P = .0001). These data suggest that bFGF may enhance myelopoiesis by modulating the inhibitory response to TGF-β1.
