Summary A combination treatment with thymosin 1 (200 µg/kg) for 4 days, followed by a single injection of murine interferon / (3 × 104 international units/mouse), starting 2 days after cyclophosphamide treatment (200 mg/kg, single injection) demonstrated a dramatic and rapid disappearance of tumor burden in mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) tumor. The effectiveness of this new chemoimmunotherapy protocol was evident even on the long-term survival in a high percentage of animals, and was statistically significant when compared to treatment with the single agents in conjunction with chemotherapy or to chemotherapy itself. The same combination immunotherapy treatment strongly stimulated natural killer activity and cytotoxicity against autologus 3LL tumor cells in 3LL-tumor-bearing mice treated with cyclophosphamide, whereas treatments with each agent singly did not alter or only slightly modified the cytotoxic activity towards Yac-1 or 3LL target cells. Selective depletion with antibodies showed that killer cells stimulated by combination chemoimmunotherapy treatment bear phenotypic characteristics of asialo-GM1-positive cells. A histological study has shown a high number of infiltrating lymphoid cells in the tumors obtained from mice treated with combination chemoimmunotherapy. 相似文献

Summary A single injection of -interferon (-IFN) (30 000 units/mouse), a major biological modifier of natural killer (NK) cytolytic activity, strongly stimulated NK activity in normal mice, as expected, while the same treatment did not statistically alter the NK response in cyclophosphamide (CY)-suppressed animals.We investigated the possibility of thymosin 1 cooperating with -IFN in boosting NK activity in CY-suppressed animals.The results show that treatment with thymosin 1 (200 g/kg) for 4 days, followed by a single injection of -IFN 24 h before testing, strongly restored NK activity in CY-suppressed mice. Thymosin 1 was, moreover, able to accelerate the recovery rate of NK activity in bone marrow reconstituted murine chimeras.Taken together the data support the concept that the synergic effect between thymosin 1 and -IFN could be the result of effects on differentiation of the NK lineage at different levels. 相似文献

The effects of a synthetic thymosin alpha1 on the azathioprine-sensitivity of spleen cells and on the thymic-like activity of serum from adult thymectomized mice, were observed. Thymosin alpha1 is able to restore the lowered levels of these T-dependent functions after in vivo administration. 相似文献

Nuclear phosphoprotein HMGA1a, high mobility group A1a, (previously HMGI) has been investigated during apoptosis. A change in the degree of phosphorylation of HMGA1a has been observed during apoptosis induced in four leukemic cell lines (HL60, K562, NB4, and U937) by drugs (etoposide, camptothecin) or herpes simplex virus type-1. Both hyper-phosphorylation and de-phosphorylation of HMGA1a have been ascertained by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Hyper-phosphorylation (at least five phosphate groups/HMGA1a molecule) occurs at the early apoptotic stages and is probably related to HMGA1a displacement from DNA and chromatin release from the nuclear scaffold. De-phosphorylation (one phosphate or no phosphate groups/HMGA1a molecule) accompanies the later formation of highly condensed chromatin in the apoptotic bodies. We report for the first time a direct link between the degree of phosphorylation of HMGA1a protein and apoptosis according to a process that involves the entire amount of HMGA1a present in the cells and, consequently, whole chromatin. At the same time we report that variously phosphorylated forms of HMGA1a protein are also mono-methylated. 相似文献

Signals involved in protection against apoptosis by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) were investigated. Using U937 monocytoid cells as an experimental model, we have demonstrated that HSV-1 rendered these cells resistant to Fas-induced apoptosis promptly after infection. UV-inactivated virus as well as the envelope glycoprotein D (gD) of HSV-1, by itself, exerted a protective effect on Fas-induced apoptosis. NF-kappaB was activated by gD, and protection against Fas-mediated apoptosis by gD was abolished in cells stably transfected with a dominant negative mutant I-kappaBalpha, indicating that NF-kappaB activation plays a role in the antiapoptotic activity of gD in our experimental model. Moreover, NF-kappaB-dependent protection against Fas-mediated apoptosis was associated with decreased levels of caspase-8 activity and with the up-regulation of intracellular antiapoptotic proteins. 相似文献

A three-step synthesis of bis-β-d-glucopyranosides containing thioalkane or thioarene spacers of different length and flexibility is described. The key-step reaction allows an easy modulation of final saccharidic products so that a library of molecules with different glycosidic residues and spacers can be obtained. Two of the new thioarene-spaced bis-β-d-glucopyranosides endow with a specific cytotoxic potential. A more detailed investigation of one of the two compounds ascertains that this effect is attributable to induction of cell death by apoptosis. 相似文献

The effects of an extract from Citrus bergamia (BSext) and those of two products purified from the same extract, that is, nomilin and limonin, and reference compounds, towards HTLV-1 have been reported. Moreover, they were also compared with those obtained towards HIV-1. Results showed that the efficacy of both BSext and limonin in inhibiting HTLV-1 as well as HIV-1 expression in infected cells, as evaluated by comparable quantitative assays, was close to that of the effective, reference compounds, respectively. The protective effect of BSext and of the purified products was associated with the inhibition of both HTLV-1 and HIV-1 RT activities in conceptually similar, cell-free assays. The cytotoxicity of the assayed compounds of natural origin was substantially less pronounced than that of the reference compounds, thus showing a favourable selectivity index for the novel BSext product. 相似文献

A synthetic strategy, based on the in situ generation of sulfenic acids and their thermolysis in the presence of thiols, was developed for obtaining a collection of polyvalent disulfides in which a benzene scaffold accommodates two or three flexible arms connecting saccharide moieties. Targeting carbohydrate metabolism or carbohydrate-binding proteins may constitute important approaches in the discovery process of new therapeutic anticancer agents. Therefore, a preliminary screening to ascertain the cytostatic/cytotoxic potential of this new class of enantiopure glycoconjugated disulfides has been conducted. Among them, products with two disulfide arms, harbouring galactose rings, induced high levels of apoptosis on U937 histiocytic lymphoma cells, but lower levels of cell death on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors. Further experiments indicated that apoptosis induced by these glycoconjugated bis(disulfides) in U937 cells corresponds to the Bcl-2-sensitive, intrinsic form of apoptotic cell death. The bioinvestigation was extended to a panel of human cancer cell lines with different levels of malignancy and resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Compounds under study proved to induce detectable levels of cell death towards all the tested cancer cell lines. 相似文献
