Interleukin-34 (IL-34) was identified through a functional screening of a library of secreted proteins after transfection of an embryonic kidney cell line with recombinant cDNAs.
Flow cytometry and monocyte viability assays demonstrated increased survival and/or proliferation of monocytes induced by IL-34 and specific binding of IL-34 to CD14+ monocytes.
IL-34 is a second ligand to the colony stimulating factor (CSF)-1 receptor in addition to CSF1.
Like CSF1, IL-34 stimulates phosphorylation of ERK1 and ERK2 in human monocytes and induces differentiation of bone marrow cells into macrophages.
Despite its predicted molecular weight, IL-34 will often run at higher molecular weight in SDS-PAGE.
