چکیده

A lymphocyte blastogenesis inhibitory factor (LBIF) has been characterized as an immunoregulatory molecule, especially on the T-lymphocyte proliferation. Using fast protein liquid chromatography-purified LBIF, we examined the effect of LBIF on the proliferation of various 18 tumor cell lines in vitro in comparison with those of interferon-alpha, interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, transforming growth factor-beta 1, or interleukin 1 alpha/beta. We showed here that LBIF strongly inhibited the proliferation of various tumor cell lines irrespective of cell lineage or species. LBIF was effective on a wider spectrum of tumor cell lines than other cytokines tested here. The inhibition resulted from cytotoxic or cytostatic effects, depending on individual characteristics of tumor cell lines. Five cell lines showed insensitivity against LBIF activity, suggesting a plausible involvement of LBIF receptor molecules to transduce LBIF signals. These results suggest that LBIF may play important roles in regulating cell growth.

Effect of different concentrations of leukemia inhibitory factor on gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A in trophoblast Tumor Cell Line

Background: Several studies have shown that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is one of the most important cytokinesparticipating in the process of embryo implantation and pregnancy, while, the role of this factor on vascular endothelialfactor-A (VEGF-A), as one of the most important angiogenic factor, has not been fully investigated yet. The aimof this study was to evaluate th...

Identification and purification of arginine deiminase that originated from Mycoplasma arginini.

A lymphocyte blastogenesis inhibitory factor, (LBIF), was purified from the culture supernatant of human histiocytic lymphoma U937 by fast protein liquid chromatography. In this study, we demonstrated, first, that LBIF originated from a mycoplasma, Mycoplasma arginini, infecting U937 cells, and second, that LBIF bore the arginine deiminase activity. The implication of in vivo immunosuppression ...

Effects of L-asparaginase on lymphocyte surface and blastogenesis.

SUMMARY L-Asparaginase is immunosuppressive, inhibiting both the cellular and humoral responses, as well as the concanavalin A-and/or phytohemagglutinin-induced blastogenesis of lymphocytes. However, its mechanism of action is presently unclear. This study dealt with the enzyme effects on the lymphocyte surface leading to interference with the binding of concanavalin A. The mitogen was labeled ...

Regulation of tumor-induced myelopoiesis and the associated immune suppressor cells in mice bearing metastatic Lewis lung carcinoma by prostaglandin E2.

The in vitro and in vivo effects of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and of its stable analogue, 16,16-dimethyl-PGE2 (dmPGE2), on myelopoiesis and on the myelopoiesis-associated immune suppressor cell activity of mice bearing metastatic variant Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC-C3) tumors are assessed. In vitro studies showed a reduced susceptibility of bone marrow myeloid progenitor cells (CFC) from LLC-C3 tum...
