ABSTRACT
We investigated the interaction between GM-CSF and its receptor on human granulocytes and on several human tumor cell lines. Specific high-affinity binding for GM-CSF was characterized by Scatchard plot analysis. The specific radioactivity of the 125I-labeled derivative of rH. GM-CSF was determined by self-displacement analysis and calculated to be 30 microCi/micrograms. The maximum concentration of binding sites (B max) in granulocytes was 40 fmol/mg protein (2,200 molecules GM-CSF bound/cell) and the dissociation constant (KD) was 0.42 nM. No binding sites for GM-CSF were found in two lung cancer cell lines, SCLC-16HV and NCI-N417 or in the urinary bladder carcinoma cell line 5637, whereas the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60 was positive for GM-CSF binding. Time course experiments showed maximum binding of GM-CSF in granulocytes after an incubation period of 60 min and a decrease in binding after an incubation period of 2 h. In parallel, we found a maximum biological signal when granulocytes were preincubated for 90 min with GM-CSF, and a decrease after an incubation time of 120 min. Preincubation of the cells with rH. GM-CSF induced an enhancement of the production of activated oxygen species by the cells in response to PMA.
