Interleukin-3 (lL-3) is a hemopoietic growth factor involved in the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of multipotent hemopoietic cells. In addition to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) and IL-5, IL-3 is the most potent growth factor for basophils. On mature basophils, these three cytokines act through specific receptors mediating adhesion, migration, and releasability. Mast cells express high amounts of IL-3. In the absence of antigen, rapid release of large amounts of IL-3 in an autocrine dependent manner is responsible for mast cell survival. IL-3 plays a vital role in stimulating basophil and mast cell responses to parasite infections. IL-3 has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory diseases, including asthma, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative disorders, such as multiple sclerosis. IL-3 stimulates colony formation of megakaryocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages from bone marrow cultures. IL-3 is expressed in the major embryonic vessels and regulates the survival and proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells in the early stages of embryonic development.
