The effects of recombinant human interleukin-6 (rh IL-6), which has homology with rh granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rh G-CSF) at the amino acid sequence level, and rh G-CSF on normal human bone marrow cells, fresh leukemic blast progenitors from 16 acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) patients, and G-CSF-dependent human AML cell line (OCI/AML 1a) were investigated. rh G-CSF stimulated the proliferation of leukemic blast progenitors from 13 out of 16 AML patients tested. rh IL-6 stimulated the proliferation of blasts from eight AML patients and enhanced the G-CSF-dependent proliferation of the fresh AML blasts from two out of eight patients tested. On the other hand, rh IL-6 suppressed the blast colony formation from two AML patients and OCI/AML 1a cells and also reduced the G-CSF-dependent proliferation of the blast progenitors from one of the two patients and the cell line, rh IL-6 had no effect on the colony formation of normal granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM) with or without rh G-CSF. Differentiation-induction by rh IL-6 was not observed in the fresh AML blasts but was observed in OCI/AML 1a. The effect of IL-6 on the blast colony formation and G-CSF-dependent blast cell growth was complicated and heterogenous among the AML cases; IL-6 stimulated blast colony formation in some cases and suppressed it in others. The heterogeneity of the response was supposed to be derived from the heterogeneity of the characteristics of AML cells. Although G-CSF simply stimulated the blast colony formation, IL-6 had a bimodulatory effect on the proliferation of leukemic blast progenitors from AML patients. IL-6 might be involved in the regulation of the proliferation of AML cells in vivo as well as in vitro.
