Effect of anticancer drugs on the release of tumour necrosis factor in vitro. 1990

The anticancer drugs Adriamycin, bleomycin, vincristine, 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide, FK156 and FK565 and the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin-A were tested for their effect on lipopolysaccharide-induced tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) release from rat peritoneal exudate cells in vitro. FK565 resulted in a marked enhancement of TNF release when added to cultures at doses of 1 microgram/ml and 10 micrograms/ml. However, FK156, Adriamycin, bleomycin, 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide, vincristine and cyclosporin A did not affect the release of TNF under the same conditions. Puromycin inhibited the release of TNF in the same system at non-cytotoxic doses of 1 microgram/ml and 10 micrograms/ml.

D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects. Cyclosporins have been proposed as adjuvants in tissue and organ transplantation to suppress graft rejection. Cyclosporines

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.
