Abstract Stem cell factor (SCF), interleukin 3 (IL-3), granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) are members of a group of glycoproteins called hematopoietic cytokines (HCs). These cytokines regulate the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells and functionally activate mature neutrophils or macrophages. The effect of HCs is not limited to bone marrow cells. Some…

It is suggested that nicotine might be promoting NSCLC growth and metastasis by inducing the secretion of SCF, and the possibility that targeting signalling cascades that activate E2F1 might be an effective way to combat NSCLCs is raised.

Interestingly, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) mRNA was concomitantly expressed in most of these G- CSF-producing tumors, and relatively high frequency of this phenomenon suggests the presence of common transcriptional factors acting on regulatory regions of G-CSFs and GM-CSf genomes.
