Expression of cytokines in tumor cells provides a sensitive modality to analyze the consequences of local cytokines in vivo on tumor infiltrating cells and tumorigenicity. We have transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with an interleukin 10 (IL-10) expression vector. CHO-IL10 cells although unaltered with respect to their in vitro growth lost tumorigenicity, both in nude and in SCID mice and in an IL-10 dose dependent manner. In addition, CHO-IL10 cells suppressed the growth of equal numbers of coinjected but not of contralaterally injected CHO cells. Immunohistology with anti-CR3/Mac-1 and anti-Mac-3 monoclonal antibodies revealed that CHO tumors were substantially infiltrated by macrophages. However, in CHO-IL10 tumors macrophages were virtually absent within the tumor tissue. Our results suggest that IL-10 indirectly suppresses tumor growth of certain tumors by inhibiting infiltration of macrophages which may provide tumor growth promoting activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
