Stem cell factor is a recently identified earliest-acting hematopoietic growth factor and a ligand for the c-kit proto-oncogen. Based on our recent observations that recombinant rat interleukin-3 (IL3), human interleukin-6 (IL6) and murine granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) possessed different degrees of suppressive activities on the proliferation of LT 12 cell line derived from BNML rat leukemic model, SCF was evaluated alone and in combination with either IL3, IL6 or GM-CSF for effects on leukemopoiesis in vitro. The results indicated that SCF alone had suppressive effect on DNA synthesis and colony forming unit-leukemic blast (CFU-L) in LT12 cells. 100ng/ml of SCF caused substantial reduction in colony number and 3H-TdR uptake although this suppression was of lower magnitude than those induced by IL3, IL6 or GM-CSF. Enhanced suppression on the proliferation of LT12 cells was observed when SCF was used in combination with one of these three factors. Among these combinations, SCF+GM-CSF or SCF+IL6 resulted in more suppression on LT12 cells than SCF+IL3 did. Combination of SCF with two or three factors produced even more suppression. No apparent effect on the size of leukemic colony was seen. Furthermore, in growth kinetics study of LT12 cells in the presence of SCF production of LT12 cells declined. Thus, SCF appears to have divergent hematopoietic activities on BNML rat model: effective stimulation of granulopoiesis and weak suppression of leukemopoiesis.
