Some hematopoietic growth factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines, including granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), IFNα, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-7, and TNFα were highly produced by ALL cells from a conspicuous group of patients co-expressing myeloid markers (Vilchis-Ordoñez et al., 2015). Here, CSF3 is linked to acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
