Modification of adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity by recombinant human interferon-gamma and/or verapamil in human stomach cancer cells.

چکیده
Recombinant human-interferon-gamma (rH-IFN-gamma) and verapamil (VRP), either alone or in combination, were evaluated in MTT assay for their modification effects on adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity against MKN-45, human stomach adenocarcinoma cells. VRP as a single agent did not inhibit the survival of MKN-45 at doses of up to 5.0 micrograms/ml. The survival of MKN-45 was inhibited by rH-IFN-gamma dose-dependently and further inhibited by the addition of VRP. However, the maximum growth inhibition of MKN-45 in any combination treatment with rH-IFN-gamma and VRP was less than 50% except in the highest concentration combinations (% survival: 47.9% at 10(4) U/ml of rH-IFN-gamma and 3.0 micrograms/ml of VRP). Adriamycin caused a concentration-dependent cytotoxicity and its cytotoxicity was significantly enhanced by the addition of rH-IFN-gamma and further enhanced by the combined use of rH-IFN-gamma and VRP. The modification effects of rH-IFN-gamma and VRP on adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity were evaluated in terms of modification index (MI), demonstrating that rH-IFN-gamma significantly increased in adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity and that the combined use of rH-IFN-gamma and VRP enhanced the adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity to a greater extent than did rH-IFN-gamma alone: MI values at 10(2) U/ml and 10(3) U/ml of rH-IFN-gamma were 1.7 and 3.1, respectively; those at 1.5 micrograms/ml and 3.0 micrograms/ml of VRP in the presence of 10(3) U/ml of rH-IFN-gamma were 4.4 and 6.0, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Background: As a T helper type 1 (Th1) derived cytokine, Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an important regulator of inflammatory immune responses. Furthermore, IFN-γ plays an essential role in defense against tumors and intracellular pathogens. This study was designed to assess the pattern of IFN-γ production in human leukemic (Jurkat and Molt-4) T cell lines in vitro. Methods: Ju...

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) is regarded as an important mechanism by which monoclonal antibodies (mAb) can exert an antitumour effect in vivo. It may be possible, therefore, to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of mAb by cytokines that are able to enhance the ADCC of human CD3-, CD56+, CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells. We investigated in vitro the effects of recombinant interf...
