Abstract
We studied the cytotoxic effects of recombinant TNF-α and supernate of phytohemagglutinin stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells individually and in combination against a cholangiocarcinoma cell line. Levels of cyclins D1, E and A in the cell line were detected by immunoblotting, and the cell cycle stage was assayed by propidium iodide staining followed by flow cytometry analysis. Viable and apoptotic cells were assessed by trypan blue dye exclusion, DAPI staining, agarose DNA laddering and propidium iodide staining. At the beginning of each experiment, the majority of cholangiocarcinoma cells expressed cyclin A and were in S phase as determined by propidium iodide staining. Treatment of such cells with recombinant TNF-α resulted in cytotoxic effects clearly evident at 36 hours post exposure. There was a synergistic killing effect when recombinant TNF-α was combined with PHA supernate and this effect could be partly neutralized by monoclonal anti TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-12 and IFN-γ.
