Induction of Chromosomal Aberrations and Growth-Transformation of Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines by Inhibition of Reactive Oxygen Species-Induced Apoptosis with Interleukin-6

Abstract: SUMMARY:Etiological evidence, indicating the relationships between the onset of malignant lymphoma and pre-existing chronic inflammation, has been accumulated. For the autonomous growth of malignant tumor, genetic lesions, such as chromosomal aberrations, amplification of oncogenes, and mutations of genes involved in the cell cycle regulation, must be essential. However, how the inflammation promotes the accumulation of genetic lesions and induces the autonomous growth of lymphoid cells remains unclear. Reacti… Show more

“…It is well known that IL-6 is an endogenous cytokine released by monocytes, T cells, and vascular endothelial cells and is a major inducer of the inflammation [41]. IL-6 can promote the differentiation of lymphocytes and amplify the inflammatory response leading to tissue damage [42]. In this study, there was a correlation between elevated levels of IL-6 and delirium, both of which were present at reduced levels in the FTS treatment group.…”

“…Given the central role of IL‐1 and IL‐6 in the above studies, one may postulate that chronic inflammation may play an important role in the progression of myeloma in certain individuals. Inflammation can contribute to the development of neoplasia through the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species resulting in DNA mutations and the production of inflammatory cytokines that can support and perpetuate these genetically altered cells . Indeed the fact that myeloma is one of the more frequently found cancers in workers that were exposed to the World Trade Center dust supports this idea .…”

“…These findings suggest that the PAL is composed of B lymphocytes at the differentiation stage of the postgerminal center but the antigen-dependent maturation is not usually involved in the development of tumor which is distinct from the majority of B cell lymphomas including diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Genetic abnormalities such as p53 gene mutation [6]and chromosomal aberration [3, 5]occurring in long-standing inflammatory lesions, i.e. chronic pyothorax, might be the main driving force in the PAL development.…”

“…IL-6 showed a growth promotional effect on the lymphoma cells [3]and IL-10, an immunosuppressive cytokine, might protect the proliferating cells from immune surveillance by host cytotoxic T cells [4]. Reactive oxygen species released by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages could cause DNA damage in B cells, and thus might contribute to lymphomagenesis [5]. In addition, an unusually high frequency of p53 gene mutations was detected in approximately 70% of PAL cases [6].…”
