Effect of ether lipids on mouse granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells.

In this study we determined the potential bone marrow toxicity of the ether lipid derivatives 1-0-octadecyl-2-0-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OcMe-G-3-PC), 1-0-hexadecyl-propanediol-2-phosphocholine (He-Pr-2-PC), and hexadecylphosphocholine (He-PC). OcMe-G-3-PC inhibited the proliferation of mouse granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (GM-CFCs) at a dose of 1 micrograms/ml, whereas He-Pr-2-PC and He-PC started to inhibit the growth of hemopoietic precursors at 5 micrograms/ml. In contrast to this finding, NMRI mice given 10 mg/kg i.v. daily for 4 weeks and 20 or 30 mg/kg for 5 days showed no bone marrow toxicity. We conclude that the dose-dependent toxic effects observed in vitro are within the physiological tolerance in vivo.[1]
