We have examined the effects of intravenous infusion of recombinant human tumour necrosis factor (rh-TNF) on serum activity of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) in patients with malignancies. Nine patients received a 24 h continuous intravenous infusion ranging from 1.0 x 10(5) U/m(2) to 3.0 x 10(5) U/m(2); 14 patients received a 5 day continuous intravenous infusion ranging from 0.5 x 10(5) U/m(2)/day to 3.0 10(5) U/m(2)/day. Twenty one of 23 patients responded with marked increases in serum PLA(2) activity that were detectable 3 h after the beginning of the rh-TNF infusion and reached maximum levels at 18 h with a mean increase of 16.2-fold. In patients receiving a 5 day rh-TNF infusion, the highest levels of PLA(2) were observed after the first day of infusion. Serum PLA(2) activity declined continuously to 2.9-fold above baseline at the end of the infusion. A significant correlation was noted between the dose of infused rh-TNF and the maximum increase in PLA(2) activity. To our knowledge, this is the first time that an association between intravenous TNF administration and induction of circulating PLA(2) in man has been established.
我们研究了静脉内输注重组人肿瘤坏死因子(rh-TNF)对恶性肿瘤患者血清中磷酸脂酶 A2(PLA2)活性的影响。9 例患者接受 1.0×105至 3.0×105U/m2 的 24 小时连续静脉内输注;14 例患者接受 0.5×105至 3.0×105U/m2/天的 5 天连续静脉内输注。23 例患者中的 21 例对 rh-TNF 输注有明显的血清 PLA2 活性增加的反应,在 rh-TNF 输注开始后 3 小时即可检测到,并在 18 小时达到最大水平,平均增加 16.2 倍。在接受 5 天 rh-TNF 输注的患者中,在输注的第一天观察到 PLA2 的最高水平。在输注结束时,血清 PLA2 活性连续下降至基线以上 2.9 倍。注入的 rh-TNF 的剂量与 PLA2 活性的最大增加之间存在显著相关性。据我们所知,这是首次在人体内建立了静脉内 TNF 给药与诱导循环 PLA2 之间的关联。
