title: [Effects of cytokines on somatostatin in nude mice bearing human renal cell carcinoma].
abstract: We studied the relationship between the production of SS and treatment with cytokines and a new method for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. 4.4 x 10(6)RCC94616 cells were injected subcutaneously into the back of nude mice. Five groups with TNF, IL-2, rIFN, TNF + IL-2, TNF + rIFN and controls were randomly divided according to the mean diameter of experimental tumor. After the last injection of cytokines, 0.5-0.8 ml blood, 1g tumor tissue, para-tissue and normal tissue were havested respectively. Contents of SS were tested by radioimmunoassay. In the treatment groups with cytokines, the concentration of SS was changed, siginificantly increased in the TNF + IL-2 group (P < 0.01). The effect on distribution of SS by cytokines may also be mediated by the regulation of human immunity and antitumor activity. It may be suggested that the method of TNF + IL-2 + SS is best to treat renal cell carcinoma.
