摘要
In vivo stimulation of pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) may enhance tumor cell cytotoxicity. A model using aerosolized gamma-interferon (gamma-IFN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was developed to induce enhanced PAM activation in vivo in C57BL/6 mice. Mice received four doses of aerosol (2 doses/day) consisting of gamma-IFN (10(4)-mu-U/mouse) and LPS (100-mu-g/mouse). Other groups received either gamma-IFN alone, LPS alone, or saline (control). Cells were harvested by bronchoalveolar lavage. Macrophage cell count demonstrated an increase in macrophage recruitment in the gamma-IFN and LPS group. PAMs were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against B16-F10 melanoma cells. Treatment groups demonstrated enhanced cytotoxicity over controls, and the combination (gamma-IFN plus LPS) was significantly better in cell killing than either treatment modality alone (p less-than-or-equal-to 0.02). Activated PAMs selectively killed tumor cells, but did not kill the 3T3 fibroblast cell line. Peritoneal macrophages from mice treated by inhalational gamma-IFN + LPS were enhanced (indicating a systemic effect), but not to the same extent as PAMs. These studies suggest that inhalation of gamma-IFN + LPS can selectively enhance in vivo cytotoxicity of murine PAMs. This may potentially be applicable to human tumor management.
