The effect of PSK on the depressed interferon (IF) production in tumor-bearing mice was studied. In tumor-bearing mice, in vitro IF production by spleen cells treated with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) was remarkably inhibited. However, these inhibitions were prevented by the intraperitoneal (ip) administration of PSK. Mice were inoculated intravenously (iv) with poly I:C-treated spleen cells, administered with PSK ip at 3 days after the tumor inoculation. When PSK was not given, poly I:C-treated spleen cells did not show an inhibitory effect on tumor growth. In mice given PSK ip, poly I:C-treated spleen cells exerted slightly inhibiting effects on tumor growth. These results suggest that PSK prevented such a modulation in tumor-bearing mice.
研究了PSK对荷瘤小鼠干扰素(IF)产生受抑制的影响。在荷瘤小鼠中,用聚肌苷酸-聚胞苷酸(poly I:C)处理的脾细胞体外产生IF受到显著抑制。然而,腹腔内(ip)给予PSK可防止这些抑制作用。给小鼠静脉内(iv)接种经poly I:C处理的脾细胞,并在肿瘤接种后3天腹腔内给予PSK。当未给予PSK时,经poly I:C处理的脾细胞对肿瘤生长未显示抑制作用。在腹腔内给予PSK的小鼠中,经poly I:C处理的脾细胞对肿瘤生长有轻微抑制作用。这些结果表明,PSK可防止荷瘤小鼠出现这种调节。
