In asthma, alveolar macrophages (AMs) are hyperreactive releasing large amounts of mediators and expressing high levels of surface markers. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) upregulates monocytes and AMs, and may be involved in the hyperreactivity of AMs. The effects of GM-CSF were tested on monocytes and AMs from normal subjects by examining the expression of factors thought to be upregulated in asthma. After various incubation times of GM-CSF, the expression of CD23… CONTINUE READING
