Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of lymphocytes. However, in tumour-bearing rats treated with the immunomodulator OM 163, the regressing nodules were heavily infiltrated by T lymphocytes, although they contained high levels of NO. We show here that NO, while inhibiting the proliferation of lymphocytes, increased their life-span, pointing to the ambivalence of this molecule in the course of tumour growth and regression.
一氧化氮(NO)已被证明可抑制淋巴细胞的增殖。然而,在用免疫调节剂OM 163治疗的荷瘤大鼠中,尽管消退结节中含有高水平的NO,但仍有大量T淋巴细胞浸润。我们在此表明,NO虽然抑制淋巴细胞的增殖,但却延长了它们的寿命,这表明该分子在肿瘤生长和消退过程中具有矛盾性。
