Increased proliferation of phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated human leucocytes after 8-methoxypsoralen treatment

Abstract: The effect of 8-methoxypsoralen on human blood mononuclear cells cultured in darkness has been examined. 8-Methoxypsoralen (1 microgram mL-1, 4.6 microM) added to (phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated cells induced a two-fold increase in the number of mitoses. The number of blastic cells also increased. There was no effect on the formation of micronuclei and there was no chromosomal breakage.

“…Our earlier studies have shown that 8-MOP (1 pg mL-') (i.e. at clinical values reached in the blood of treated subjects) can stimulate PHA-transformed leucocytes (Gawron et al 1990). In the present studies it was found that 8-MOP ( I pg mL-') enhanced the mitogenic effect of PHA on lymphocytes by acting on T-lymphocytes.…”
