Recombinant human granulocyte (rhG) colony-stimulating factor (CSF) and recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage (rhGM) CSF have been used to enhance neonatal neutrophil host defense. We aimed to determine the comparative efficacy of rhG-CSF and rhGM-CSF in increasing numbers of granulocyte colony-forming unit (CFU-G) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit (CFU-GM) in recombinant human (rh) IL-3-dependent cultures of human neonatal circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells, including cells from infants born to hypertensive mothers. We also investigated the relationship between fractional increase in CFU-G and endogenous plasma concentration of G-CSF. Circulating mononuclear cells were harvested from 25 neonates, and standard short-term assays in semisolid agar were established in the presence of rhIL-3 alone, rhIL-3 with rhG-CSF and rhGM-CSF, and both rhG-CSF and rhGM-CSF. CFU-G and CFU-GM were counted on d 14. Total colony number and CFU-G were significantly greater in cultures supplemented with rhG-CSF, with or without rhGM-CSF (p &lt; 0.001 and p &lt; 0.0005 for total colony number and CFU-G, respectively), when compared with cultures with rhIL-3 alone. Progenitor cells from three infants born to hypertensive mothers responded similarly. Total colony numbers and CFU-G were not increased by rhGM-CSF alone or by addition of rhGM-CSF to rhG-CSF; however, the proportions of CFU-GM were (p &lt; 0.05 and p &lt; 0.001, respectively, compared with rhIL-3 alone).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
