Introduction
The hematopoietic system plays roles that are crucial for survival of the host: delivery
of oxygen to tissues, arrest of accidental blood leaking from blood vessels, and fending
off of invading microbes by humoral, cell-mediated, and phagocytic immunity.
The activity of the hematopoietic system is staggering: daily, a normal adult
produces approximately 2.5 billion erythrocytes, 2.5 billion platelets, and 1 billion
granulocytes per kilogram of body weight. This production is adjusted in a timely
fashion to changes in actual needs and can vary from nearly none to many times the
normal rate depending on needs which vary from day to day, or even minute to minute.
In response to a variety of stimuli, the cellular components of the blood are promptly
increased or decreased in production to maintain appropriate numbers to optimally
protect the host from hypoxia, infection, and hemorrhage.
How does this all happen and happen without over or under responding? There
has been extraordinary growth in our understanding ofhematopoiesis over the last two
decades. Occupying center stage is the pluripotent stern cell and its progeny.
Hematopoietic stern cells have been characterized by their capacity for self renewal
and their ability to proliferate and differentiate along multiple lineages. Few in
number, the stern cell gives rise to all circulating neutrophils, erythrocytes, lymphoid
cells, and platelets. In hematopoietic transplantation, the stern cell is capable of
restoring long-term hematopoiesis in a lethally irradiated host.
Expansion of the numbers of progeny of stern cells provides the host with an
enormous capacity for hematopoietic homeostasis. As important as stern cells are,
however, it is now recognized that it is only through very complex interactions with
other cells in the stromal microenvironment, physical contact with matrix proteins in
the bone marrow, and exposure to soluble proteins which have growth stimulatory and
growth inhibitory properties, such as hematopoietic growth factors and various
adhesion molecules, that stern cells can do their jobs. Thus, these "supporting actors"
are every bit as important as stern cells in the regulation ofhematopoiesis. The growth
factors, their actions, and their clinical roles, are the subject of this volume.
Hematopoietic growth factors are a family of glycoproteins that regulate
proliferation, differentiation, and function of hematopoietic cells. The specific
function ofthese molecules are complex and redundant. Their activity may be lineage
specific or affect cells of multiple lineages. These moleeules are synthesized by
lymphocytes, monocytes, stromal cells, and a host of other cell types as weIl.
The identification and isolation of their genes has led to mass production of
recombinant hematopoietic growth factor molecules. The availability of these
molecules, in turn, have made possible in vitro studies on progenitor cell proliferation
and function to achieve better understanding of hematopoiesis and, subsequently,
clinical trials.
Today, several growth factors are available to the clinician as treatments for
various pathologicpertubations of hematopoiesis. Their use has also advanced our
capacity to safely deliver cancer chemotherapy. Hematopoietic growth factors have
become an everyday tool for the practicing oncologist.
In this volume, recognized experts review the biological interactions between
