چکیده

We examined the effects and molecular mechanism of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor erlotinib on NKG2D ligand expression in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells and the cytotoxicity of cytokine-induced killer cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect NKG2D ligand expression in A549 cells under effects of erlotinib and EGFR downstream molecules, including LY294002 (phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor), SB203580 (mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor), and STAT21 (signal transduction and transcription 3 inhibitor) after 24 h. A lactate dehydrogenase release assay was used to detect, at different effector-to-target ratios, the A549 cell killing activity of cytokine-induced killer cells before and after treatment with 10 mM erlotinib. Erlotinib suppressed MICA expression in A549 cells and upregulated MICB and UL16 binding protein 1 expression. EGFR downstream molecules mitogen-activated protein kinase and signal transduction and transcription 3 inhibitor did not affect the expression of NKG2D ligands in A549 cells. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor reduced MICA expression in A549 cells, while erlotinib enhanced the killing sensitivity of cytokine-induced killer cells in A549 cells. The anti-lung carcinoma effects of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor were associated with the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to enhanced immune cell killing.

Effect of inhibition proliferation in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells by cytokine-induced killer cells

BACKGROUND Adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer, is one of main human malignant tumors. In this paper, we focus on the effect of antitumor activity of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells on human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549. METHODS CIK cells were obtained by inducing peripheral blood mononuclear cells with recombinant human (rh) interferon-gamma, monoclonal anti-CD3 ant...

Background and Aim: Morphine is frequently used for patients suffering cancer in their end stages to relive pain. However, there are conflicting reports suggesting morphine to promote tumor growth and reduce survival rate in cancerous animal models or induce necrosis and apoptosis in the tumor cells. In the present study, we studied the effect of morphine on proliferation of human lung adenocar...
