We established a human lung cancer cell line, MI-4 from the pleural effusion of a 69-year-old male with advanced large cell undifferentiated carcinoma of the lung complicated by leukocytosis. The culture supernatant of MI-4 contained high levels of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). The intracellular localization of the G-CSF was identified by immunocytochemistry. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed G-CSF mRNA expression in this cell line. The cell line was successfully transplanted into nude mice. The transplanted nude mice also showed leukocytosis with a high serum G-CSF level. Southern blot analysis did not show amplification or rearrangement of the G-CSF gene in MI-4 cells. Spectral karyotyping (SKY) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses revealed that this cell line has an additional chromosome 17 attached to a segment of chromosome 10 besides two intact chromosomes 17, and that each of these three chromosomes 17 has a G-CSF gene on chromosome 17q. Inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1beta, significantly enhanced G-CSF expression at both the protein and mRNA levels in MI-4. However, these cytokines did not stimulate the growth of MI-4 cells, regardless of abundant G-CSF production. TNF-alpha rather suppressed it, in a dose-dependent manner. Exogenous recombinant human G-CSF and anti-G-CSF antibody did not promote or inhibit the growth of MI-4 cells at any concentration examined. In addition, RT-PCR analysis did not show G-CSF receptor mRNA expression. These results suggest that this cell line does not have an autocrine growth loop for G-CSF. This cell line should be very useful for understanding the biological activity of G-CSF in G-CSF-overproducing lung cancer.
