Induction of cytokine messenger RNA and secretion in alveolar macrophages and blood monocytes from patients with lung cancer receiving granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor therapy.
Normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were co-cultured with a human lung cancer cell line (LC89) transduced with the interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-7, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) genes to evaluate the capacity of the engineered cells to: allow survival of CD3+ and CD56+ cells, generate cytotoxic effectors with HLA class I restricted and unrestricted antitumor activity, and interfere in the molecular organization of the CD3/T-cell receptor associated signal transduction machinery.
Macrophage colony-stimulating factor gene transduction into human lung cancer cells differentially regulates metastasis formations in various organ microenvironments of natural killer cell-depleted SCID mice.
Granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor augments lymphokine-activated killer activity from lymphocytes via macrophages in lung cancer patients.
We previously established two lung cancer cell lines, OKa-C-1 and MI-4, which constitutively produce abundant granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
Associations with lung cancer were also seen for SNPs in granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor and peroxisome proliferator-activated factor-delta, but FPRPs were high.
In the present work we show that multiple lung cancer cell lines contain cisplatin resistant cell subpopulations expressing the Colony-Stimulating-Factor-Receptor-1 (CSF-1R) and surviving chemotherapy-induced stress.
Conditional logistic regression models adjusting for serum cotinine concentrations were used to estimate odds ratios for lung cancer risk associated with concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, interferon γ, tumor necrosis factor α, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
