Influence of IFN-gamma and its receptors in human breast cancer

Abstract: Background: Interferons are a group of proteins that trigger multiple responses including prevention of viral replication, inhibition of cell growth, and modulation of cell differentiation. In different mammary carcinoma cell lines IFNγ induces growth arrest at mid-G1. At the present there are no in vivo studies in human breast. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression patterns of IFNγ and its two receptors (IFNγ-Rα and IFNγ-Rβ) by Western blot and immunohistochemistry, in order to elucidate its… Show more

“…Using human-specific molecular tools, both type I (α, β) and II (ɣ) IFNs were detected in tumor cells in response to treatment. Since breast cancer cells have been shown to express IFN receptors [3], these observations suggested that activation of the IFN/STAT1 pathway might be induced by an autocrine/paracrine mechanism.…”

“…In spite of the decreased expression of several proteins, B1 AMCE could also up-regulates several proteins such as interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and monokine induced by interferon-γ (Mig) which underlines its favourable criteria as anti-cancer agent. It has been discovered that IFN-γ has anti-tumoral effect as it manages to inhibit the growth of tumor cell lines including breast cancer cells by causing cell cycle arrest in the expense of p21 up-regulation as reported in previous studies [37] while in another findings, indicate that IFN-γ increases the growth inhibitory effect of tamoxifen in breast metastatic carcinomas [38]. The up-regulation of Mig in the treated group is a good indicator for B1 AMCE as anti-angiogenesis agent due to its ability to inhibit angiogenesis in vivo.…”
