pubmed:abstractText
It has been previously demonstrated that the administration of recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) ameliorates the decrease of the polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) count after the cytotoxic chemotherapies, thereby reducing the infection complications associated with neutropenia. In this multi-center study, we studied the prophylaxtic effect of rhG-CSF administration on infection complications in patients with non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma, who received cytotoxic chemotherapies (CHOP or ProMACE/CytaBOM). rhG-CSF administration reduced the frequency of infection complications, and there was no obvious difference in it's frequency between the CHOP-treated and the ProMACE/CytaBOM-treated groups when administered with rhG-CSF, thereby indicating that third generation therapy for NHL may be safely completed in Japanese in combination with rhG-CSF administration. Furthermore, we investigated both the in vitro and the in vivo effects of rhG-CSF on the function of PMNs in patients with NHL and healthy donors, and revealed that the administration of rhG-CSF for NHL patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy brought on an improvement of the production of active oxygen but did not affect serum levels of IFNs, IL-1-beta, and IL-6, inspite of a slight elevation of TNF-alpha. Consistent with these results, in vitro treatment of PMNs with rhG-CSF induced no significant production of these inflammatory cytokines and their mRNA expressions. Furthermore, rhG-CSF administration showed no significant effects in vivo on the expression of CD11a, CD11b and LECAM-1 on PMNs and integrins on platelets.
