The bone marrow micro-environment produces a number of different survival factors that are important for the malignant growth and drug resistance of multiple myeloma (MM) cells. One of the main factors reported to be essential for survival and growth of MM cells in some experimental systems is IL-6.

-type cytokines stimulate osteoclast formation by activating the glycoprotein 130 (gp130) receptor subunit on stromal/osteoblastic cells, which in turn leads to signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-mediated expression of receptor activator of NF-B ligand (RANKL). Based on evide
Human bone marrow stromal cells repond to stimulation by the monokines IL-1 and TNF by producing colony-stimulating factors such as GM-CSF and G-CSF. In this study we show that I L -l a and TNFa act synergistically to stimulate GM-CSF and G-CSF production by cultured marrow stromal cells. We further
To clarify the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha on osteoblast functions in the presence of metal particles, two human osteoblast-like cell lines (MG-63 and SaOS-2) were cultured with TNF-alpha in the presence or absence of titanium particles in vitro. A combination of TNF-alpha and titanium
The murine local lymph node assay is a predictive method for the identification of skin-sensitizing chemicals in which activity is measured as a function of proliferative activity induced in lymph nodes draining the site of exposure. In the present study, the induction by topically applied chemicals
