Characteristics of transplanted mouse myeloproliferative disease developed after repeated injections of granulocytic colony-stimulating factor

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2008 Feb;145(2):270-5. doi: 10.1007/s10517-008-0068-8.

Abstract

Transplanted myeloproliferative disease developed in mice against the background of repeated injections of granulocytic CSF was characterized using morphological and molecular biological methods. It was demonstrated that transplanted myeloproliferative disease had a non-viral nature and is probably induced by repeated injections of granulocytic CSF. Tumor cells actively populate the liver of sick animals, which leads to their rapid death. Expression of Myc, Abl, G-CSF, and MPO genes is enhanced, which is typical of myeloid neoplastic transformation.
