Chemokines, (chemotactic cytokines) are a family of regulatory
molecules involved in modulating inflammatory responses. Here we
demonstrate that the chemokine growth-regulated oncogene- (GRO- )
is a potent promoter of oligodendrocyte precursor proliferation. The
proliferative response of immature spinal cord oligodendrocyte precursors to their major mitogen, platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), is dramatically enhanced by GRO- present in spinal cord conditioned medium. One source of GRO- is a subset of spinal cord
astrocytes. Cultures of astrocytes contain GRO- mRNA and protein and
secrete biologically active concentrations of GRO- . In postnatal
spinal cord white matter the location of GRO- -immunoreactive cells
is developmentally regulated: GRO- + cells first appear in ventral
and later in dorsal spinal cord white matter. These results suggest
that localized proliferation of oligodendrocytes is mediated by synergy
between PDGF and GRO- .
