Notizen:
The single gene for human macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, or CSF-1) generates multiple mRNA species that diverge within the coding region. We have characterized translation products of these mRNA species from native and recombinant sources. Immunoblots of reduced native M-CSF indicate that multiple glycosylated species ranging from 25 kd to 200 kd are secreted by human monocytes and cell lines. In contrast, CV-1 cells expressing a short M-CSF clone secrete only 24 kd recombinant M-CSF. Synthetic peptide antibodies were developed to distinguish between secreted recombinant M-CSF from long and short mRNA splicing variants. Immunoblot analysis indicates that alternative mRNA splicing generates some M-CSF protein heterogeneity. Most secreted MIA PaCa-2 M-CSF reacts with long-clone-specific antibody. Lectin affinity chromatography shows that variable glycosylation contributes significantly to MIA PaCa-2 M-CSF size heterogeneity. In addition, cell lysates also contain larger M-CSF species that apparently undergo proteolytic processing before secretion. The data indicate that M-CSF protein heterogeneity results from both pre- and post-translational processing.
