Objective:To investigate the effects of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor on expressions of CC chemokine receptor 2(CCR2) mRNA and protein in cultured human THP-1 cell lines.Methods:THP-1 cell was stimulated by GM-CSF of different concentrations and time intervals.The mRNA expression of CCR2 was tested by RT-PCR
The protein expression of CCR2 was analyzed by Western blotting.Results:RT-PCR and Western blotting showed that THP-1 cell in control group expressed a low-level of CCR2 mRNA and protein.After stimulated by GM-CSF
the expression of CCR2 mRNA and protein increased in a concentration-and time-dependent manner.Conclusion:GM-CSF could stimulate THP-1 cell to express CCR2 mRNA and protein
