Tumor necrosis factor expression in human epithelial tumor cell lines.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a monokine with in vitro cytotoxicity for some but not all tumor cells. The basis for sensitivity and resistance to the antitumor effects of this agent remains unclear. The present studies have monitored the effects of TNF on 14 epithelial tumor cell lines. Eleven of these cell lines were resistant to the growth inhibitory effects of TNF (50% inhibitory concentrat...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor and lymphotoxin gene expression in human tumor cell lines.
In this paper we show that eight of 17 tumor cell lines of various tissue origin constitutively express tumor necrosis factor (TNF) mRNA. Five of these eight cell lines concomitantly contained lymphotoxin (LT) mRNA. Of the remaining nine cell lines that lacked detectable TNF or LT gene expression, five could be induced by phorbol ester and/or cytokines to accumulate the respective mRNAs. While ...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in human tumor cell lines by platelets
Introduction: It has been reported that platelets can eradicate tumor cells in vitro, although the mechanism of this effect has not been determined. The effect of platelets on the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells is largely unknown. Materials and methods: To investigate this effect, two human hematologic cell lines, K562 and Daudi, were independently faced with unstimulated and thromb...
متن کاملEffects of Inflammatory Cytokine Tumor Necrosis Factor-α on Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Gene Expression: A Mechanism for Liver Regeneration
Introduction Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) which is produced in abundance in the normal adult liver, is deeply involved in hepatocyte survival, growth, and differentiation during liver development. IGF-I plays the roles via the receptor (IGF-IR) signaling pathway. IGF-IR unlike IGF-I is expressed strongly in the developing liver, but much more weakly in adults. Objective: We hypothesi...
متن کاملInduction of synthesis of tumor necrosis factor in human and murine cell lines by exogenous recombinant human tumor necrosis factor.
Treatment of sensitive human myosarcoma cells (KYM-S) with exogenous tumor necrosis factor (r-TNF) resulted in the production of TNF by the cells. The newly synthesized cellular TNF was identified immunologically on Western blots and as a single 1.8-kilobase band on Northern blots. TNF synthesis began within 2 h of administration of the exogenous TNF in a dose-dependent manner. r-TNF also induc...
