Target data

Function

Cytokine that plays an essential role in the regulation of survival, proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic precursor cells, especially mononuclear phagocytes, such as macrophages and monocytes. Promotes the release of pro-inflammatory chemokines, and thereby plays an important role in innate immunity and in inflammatory processes. Plays an important role in the regulation of osteoclast proliferation and differentiation, the regulation of bone resorption, and is required for normal bone development. Required for normal male and female fertility. Promotes reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, regulates formation of membrane ruffles, cell adhesion and cell migration. Plays a role in lipoprotein clearance.

Activity summary

M-CSF or macrophage colony-stimulating factor is a cytokine involved in the regulation of macrophage production. Alternative names for M-CSF include CSF-1 and colony-stimulating factor 1. The M-CSF protein has a molecular mass of approximately 18 to 22 kDa. M-CSF is mainly expressed in various tissues including the placenta kidney and bone marrow. It functions as a homodimer important for the survival proliferation and differentiation of mononuclear phagocyte lineage cells.

Biological function summary

M-CSF influences the production differentiation and function of macrophages and osteoclasts. It is not part of a large complex but interacts with its receptor the CSF1R (colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor) on the surface of target cells. This interaction promotes the survival and proliferation of the target cells playing significant roles in immune response and bone homeostasis by regulating osteoclast development.

Pathways

The interaction of M-CSF with its receptor is central to several biological pathways notably the immune system pathway and bone resorption pathway. Within these pathways the binding of M-CSF to CSF1R activates downstream signaling cascades such as the PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways importantly affecting cell survival and differentiation. The M-CSF pathway intersects with other cytokines and factors like GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) which also regulate immune cell dynamics.

Associated diseases and disorders

Dysregulation of M-CSF levels is implicated in conditions such as osteoporosis and certain cancers. In osteoporosis M-CSF’s role in osteoclast development links to increased bone resorption leading to bone loss. In cancers M-CSF overexpression may facilitate tumor-associated macrophage infiltration therefore supporting tumor progression. The interaction with CSF1R is significant as it serves as a potential target for therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating macrophage activity in these diseases.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-M-CSF antibody (ab99178)

    IHC image of MCSF staining in human tonsil formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab99178, 10µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.



    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

    ab99178 staining MCSF in mouse skin wound tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes and blocked with 1% BSA for 30 minutes at 25°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a citrate-EDTA buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in TBS pH 7.6) for 1 hour at 25°C. A Biotin-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) polyclonal (1/300) was used as the secondary antibody.
