Chemokines, (chemotactic cytokines) are a family of regulatory molecules involved in modulating inflammatory responses. Here we demonstrate that the chemokine growth-regulated oncogene-alpha (GRO-alpha ) 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-alpha present in spinal cord conditioned medium. One source of GRO-alpha is a subset of spinal cord astrocytes. Cultures of astrocytes contain GRO-alpha mRNA and protein and secrete biologically active concentrations of GRO-alpha . In postnatal spinal cord white matter the location of GRO-alpha -immunoreactive cells is developmentally regulated: GRO-alpha + 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-alpha .

Key words: oligodendrocytes; chemokines; GRO-alpha ; cell proliferation; development; spinal cord
