Production of human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) by stromal cells was studied in vitro. Induction of G-CSF by interleukin 1 (IL-1) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was compared using enzyme immunoassay in various kinds of stromal cells. Primary human bone marrow stromal cells, a human bone marrow-derived stromal cell line (KM-102), and peripheral blood monocytes secreted small amounts of G-CSF without stimulation, while vascular endothelial cells and skin fibroblasts secreted G-CSF only when induced by IL-1 or LPS. The production of G-CSF by monocytes was stimulated predominantly by LPS, whereas that by KM-102 cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts was induced by IL-1 but much less so by LPS. IL-1 and LPS stimulated similar levels of G-CSF production by primary bone marrow stromal cells which consisted of various types of cells. In situ hybridization for G-CSF mRNA showed that only a small proportion of primary bone marrow stromal cells expressed a large amount of G-CSF mRNA upon stimulation. The positive cells were round or oval in shape, while most of the spindle-shaped stromal cells were negative for specific grains. Although further characterization of positive cells is needed, the results suggest that bone marrow stromal cells are heterogeneous in terms of their capacity for G-CSF production.
