The contribution of TNF receptor (TNF-R) expression was investigated with respect to TNF sensitivity or insensitivity for androgen-dependent and androgen-independent human prostate cancer (PCA) cell lines, respectively.
Flow cytometric analyses using monoclonal antibodies against the 55-kDa receptor (TNF-R1) and the 75-kDa receptor (TNF-R2) indicated that both receptors were expressed on all three cell lines.
Moreover, expression of TNF-R1 was greater than expression of TNF-R2 in these PCA cells. All three PCA cell lines produced IL-6. However, IL-6 production was enhanced when TNF-insensitive JCA-1 and PC-3 cells, but not TNF-sensitive LNCaP cells, were treated with rTNF (10(-9) M).
These data suggest that the lack of an antiproliferative effect of rTNF on the androgen-independent PCA cell lines PC-3 and JCA-1 is not due to the failure of these cells to express TNF-R, but may be related to the differences in TNF-mediated IL-6 expression by these PCA cell lines.
分别针对雄激素依赖性和雄激素非依赖性人前列腺癌细胞系(PCA)对肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)的敏感性或不敏感性,研究了TNF受体(TNF-R)表达的作用。
使用针对55 kDa受体(TNF-R1)和75 kDa受体(TNF-R2)的单克隆抗体进行流式细胞术分析,结果表明这两种受体在所有三种细胞系上均有表达。
此外,在这些PCA细胞中,TNF-R1的表达高于TNF-R2的表达。所有三种PCA细胞系均产生白细胞介素-6(IL-6)。然而,当用重组TNF(10⁻⁹ M)处理TNF不敏感的JCA-1和PC-3细胞而非TNF敏感的LNCaP细胞时,IL-6的产生增加。
这些数据表明,重组TNF对雄激素非依赖性PCA细胞系PC-3和JCA-1缺乏抗增殖作用并非由于这些细胞未能表达TNF-R,而是可能与这些PCA细胞系中TNF介导的IL-6表达差异有关。
