The expression of Ia-like antigens on human colony forming units-granulocyte macrophage (CFU-GM) is related to S-phase of the cell cycle, and associated with the control of normal granulocyte and macrophage production by prostaglandin E and acidic isoferritins in vitro. Ia-antigen expression by CFU-GM is lost within 3-6 h of culture at 37 degrees C and occurs simultaneously with loss of responsiveness to inhibition by these factors. Culture of bone marrow CFU-GM in a limited exposure suspension culture with 1 microM-1pM prostaglandin E (PGE1 or PGE2), but not prostaglandin F2 alpha or dibutyryl-cyclic-3'-5'-AMP results in the detection of CFU-GM Ia-antigen after 24 h. Antigen expression is associated with an absolute increase in total and S-phase CFU-GM, and restoration of responsiveness to inhibition by prostaglandin E and acidic isoferritins. The detection of Ia-antigen on CFU-GM after suspension culture with prostaglandin E results both from Ia-antigen reexpression as well as stimulation of noncycling cells to enter S-phase, express Ia-antigen and give rise to CFU-GM sensitive to inhibition by prostaglandin E and acidic isoferritins. The sensitivity of CFU-GM to inhibition by these factors after suspension culture with prostaglandin E is identical to that of the same cells tested prior to the suspension culture. These studies provide evidence for a direct regulatory association between Ia-antigen expression and control of myeloid progenitor cell differentiation, and suggest a role for prostaglandin E in the control of CFU-GM cell cycle, Ia-antigen expression, and growth regulation.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
