Human bone marrow fibroblasts (BMF) regulate the proliferation of granulocyte and macrophage colony-forming cells (GM-CFC). The mechanism used by BMF to regulate the proliferation of GM-CFC was investigated. When target marrows contained few spontaneous colonies, BMF enhanced granulopoiesis, while BMF-conditioned medium (BMF-CM) failed to do so. When target marrows contained large numbers of spontaneous colonies and when colony-stimulating factor (CSF) was present in the cultures, BMF and BMF-CM inhibited granulopoiesis. Adherent cells were necessary for the stimulation of granulopoiesis by BMF, but not for the inhibition of granulopoiesis by BMF and BMF-CM. Interaction of BMF with GM-CFC in dishes for a short time inhibited colony formation by GM-CFC. From these data, it has been concluded that the BMF regulate granulopoiesis and maintain the homeostasis of granulopoiesis through cell-cell interaction and factors produced by the BMF.
