The combined effects of Mitomycin C (MMC) with alpha-interferon (HLBI) or gamma-interferon (TRP-2), which have become attractive drugs for use as Biological Response Modifiers, were investigated using the human tumor clonogenic assay technique. Tumors in this study were five human tumor xenografts serially transplanted into nude mice (three gastric cancer, two colon cancer). When the survival fraction occurring with the combination was smaller than that obtained by multiplication of the survival fractions occurring with either drug alone, the combined effect was considered to be synergism. Four out of five xenografts (three gastric cancer, one colon cancer) showed synergistic effects for the combination of MMC with alpha-interferon. Although two gastric cancer xenografts showed synergism for the combination of MMC with gamma-interferon, antagonistic effects were observed in one gastric cancer and one colon cancer xenograft.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007370 Interferon Type I Interferon secreted by leukocytes, fibroblasts, or lymphoblasts in response to viruses or interferon inducers other than mitogens, antigens, or allo-antigens. They include alpha- and beta-interferons (INTERFERON-ALPHA and INTERFERON-BETA). Interferons Type I,Type I Interferon,Type I Interferons,Interferon, Type I,Interferons, Type I
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D008819 Mice, Nude Mutant mice homozygous for the recessive gene "nude" which fail to develop a thymus. They are useful in tumor studies and studies on immune responses. Athymic Mice,Mice, Athymic,Nude Mice,Mouse, Athymic,Mouse, Nude,Athymic Mouse,Nude Mouse
D008937 Mitomycins A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
