Single and multilineage CSFs were used to demonstrate that the induction of IGF-I transcription was a general feature of myeloid cell differentiation but macrophage cell types expressed particularly high levels of IGF-I mRNA. Exogenous IGF-I supported the proliferation of bone marrow progenitors undergoing differentiation in-vitro in the presence of one of a number of colony stimulating factors. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) inhibited the proliferation of differentiating bone marrow progenitors and this inhibition could be reversed by the addition of exogenous IGF-I.
