The Role of Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor in Murine Models of Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease that predominantly impacts the central nervous system (CNS). Animal models have been used to elucidate the underpinnings of MS pathology.

GM-CSF impairs erythropoiesis by disrupting erythroblastic island formation via macrophages
Anemia is a significant complication of chronic inflammation and may be related to dysregulated activities among erythroblastic island (EBI) macrophages.

Interaction of RNA-binding protein HuR and miR-466i regulates GM-CSF expression. [PDF]
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells plays an essential role in autoimmune diseases. Transcriptional regulation of Th17 cell differentiation has been extensively studied, but post-transcriptional ...

GM‐CSF enhances tumor invasion by elevated MMP‐2, ‐9, and ‐26 expression
Granulocyte–macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) promotes tumor progression in different tumor models in an autocrine and paracrine manner. However, at the same time GM‐CSF is used in cancer therapies to ameliorate neutropenia.

Alveolar macrophages of GM-CSF knockout mice exhibit mixed M1 and M2 phenotypes [PDF]
Background Activin A is a pleiotrophic regulatory cytokine, the ablation of which is neonatal lethal. Healthy human alveolar macrophages (AMs) constitutively express activin A, but AMs of patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) are ...

GM-CSF-Dependent Inflammatory Pathways [PDF]
Pre-clinical models and clinical trials demonstrate that targeting the action of the cytokine, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), can be efficacious in inflammation/autoimmunity reinforcing the importance of understanding how GM-CSF functions; a significant GM-CSF-responding cell in this context is likely to be the monocyte ...

Cutting Edge: Suppression of GM-CSF Expression in Murine and Human T Cells by IL-27:suppression of GM-CSF expression in murine and human T cells by IL-27 [PDF]
GM-CSF is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a pathogenic role in the CNS inflammatory disease, EAE. As IL-27 ameliorates EAE, we hypothesised that IL-27 suppresses GM-CSF expression by T cells. We found that IL-27 suppressed GM-CSF expression

Commanding CNS Invasion: GM-CSF [PDF]
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF or Csf-2) is a pro-inflammatory mediator implicated in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases. In this issue of Immunity, Spath et al. (2017) show that the dysregulated production of GM-CSF rather than IL-17 induces spontaneous immunopathology in a mouse model of CNS inflammation.
