G-CSF, granulocyte colony-stimulating Factor.
One involved identification of a non-peptide activator of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) pathway that appeared to act via receptor oligomerization [ 18 ] . Another report described a small-molecule activator of the insulin-signaling pathway that also acts at the level of the receptor [ 19 ] .
In this regard, recent studies have shown that inflammatory mediators such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and leukotriene B 4 delay apoptosis and prolong neutrophil survival in culture [ 3 4 ] . Neutrophils migrating into rodent lungs in response to LPS challenge have also been reported to exhibit delayed rates of apoptosis [ 5 6 ] . Similarly, increases in cytokine and growth factor activity, and reduced neutrophil apoptosis, have been described in various inflammatory lung diseases in humans including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia [ 3 7 8 ] .
SSZ induced agranulocytosis is believed to be mediated by immunological hypersensitivity of myeloid precursors [ 38 ] . Spontaneous recovery from SSZ agranulocytosis is frequently seen, although fatalities have been reported and some patients may benefit from granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor [ 39 40 ] .
TTP also regulates the stability of GM-CSF (granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor) mRNA through the ARE, and therefore TTP deficiency is associated with increased production of GM-CSF and with myeloid hyperplasia.
