Background

GM-CSF (also known as CSF2) is a member of the CSF family of hematopoietic growth factors and was originally identified as a stimulus that induces the differentiation of bone marrow precursor cells into granulocytes and macrophages. GM-CSF is secreted as monomeric glycoprotein. Multiple cellular sources of GM-CSF have been described, including epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, stromal cells, and hematopoietic cells. GM-CSF not only stimulates granulocyte proliferation and differentiation but also promotes vasculogenesis via chemotactic macrophages and neutrophil generation. GM-CSF has a wide range of biological activities in innate and adaptive immunity, and it plays a key role in many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
