Abstract:
The immunosuppressive effect of supernatant of the cultured tumor cells, including breast adenocarcinoma ( MCF-7, MDA-453 ), gastrocarcinoma ( MKN-45 ), cervical cancer ( Hela ) and ovarian cancer ( 3AO ), was studied by MTT assay. The results showed that the supernatant of tumor cell culture suppressed the proliferation of lymphocytes activated with PHA. The supernatant of cultured tumor cells, except that of cultured MDA-453 cells, also suppressed the cytotoxic activity of LAK cells. It is suggested that there are immunosuppressive factors in the supernatant of tumor cell culture. But the immunosuppressive effect of supernatant derived from the cultured tumor cells treated with sodium phenylacetate that is a noncytotoxic differentiation inducer on the proliferation of lymphocytes activated with PHA and the cytotoxic activity of LAK cells , was decreased significantly. It indicates that sodium phenylacetate could decrease the immunosuppressive factors derived from tumor cells.
