In this study we have examined the expression and modulation of the human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor (R) in immature and differentiated myeloid cells using a 125I labelled human G-CSF analogue (TG50). Equilibrium binding data revealed a single affinity class of receptor on all cell types expressing G-CSFR (KD 235-606 pM) with neutrophils expressing 2883 +/- 672 Rs/cell. Rapid internalization of surface receptor-bound ligand at 37 degrees C was detected in both immature cells (U937) and neutrophils with > 70% of specifically bound ligand internalized within 5 min. Concentration-response data showed that the level of occupancy of neutrophil G-CSFRs by ligand at 37 degrees C was approximately 5-fold greater than predicted by equilibrium binding data and correlated closely with concentration-response data for biological activity. Re-expression of G-CSFRs following down-regulation by internalization was not detected. Down-regulation of the neutrophil G-CSFR by several agents including granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumour necrosis factor (TNF), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), f-met-leu-phe (fMLP), phorbol ester (TPA) and C5a was observed at 37 degrees C but not at 4 degrees C. In contrast, G-CSFRs on immature myeloid cells were significantly down-regulated by TPA only. Differentiation of myeloid leukaemic cell line HL-60 with DMSO, a frequently used model of granulocytic differentiation, was associated with a significant reduction in G-CSFR expression (11 +/- 5% of control) whereas treatment with retinoic acid led to increased G-CSFR expression (161 +/- 3%).
