DescriptionSargramostim (127 residue glycoprotein) is a human recombinant granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor expressed in yeast system. Substitution of Leu23 leads to a difference from native protein.
Indication/DiseaseUsed to treat cancer and in bone marrow transplant
PharmacodynamicsSargramostim is used in the treatment of bone marrow transplant recipients or those exposed to chemotherapy and recovering from acute myelogenous leukemia, Leukine or GM-CSF is a hematopoietic growth factor which stimulates the survival, clonal expansion (proliferation) and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. GM-CSF is also capable of activating mature granulocytes and macrophages. After a bone marrow transplant or chemotherapy, patients have a reduced capacity to produce red and white blood cells. Supplementing them with external sources of GM-CSF helps bring the level of neutrophils back to normal so that they can better fight infections.
Mechanism of ActionSargramostim binds to the Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor receptor which stimulates a JAK2 STAT1/STAT3 signal transduction pathway which leads to the production of hemopoietic cells and neutrophils
