Abstract
Cytokines or biological response modifiers have been utilized in combination with conventional chemotherapeutic agents to increase cytotoxic drug-mediated efficacy and to reduce the associated toxic side effects. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a multifunctional cytokine, primarily produced by monocyte/macrophages1–4, that plays a central role in the activation of T and B cells3,4, potentiates hematopoiesis both in vitro and in vivo5–9, and induces the synthesis of other cytokines and regulatory molecules3,10,11. Studies in our laboratories have demonstrated that IL-1α induces acute tumor hemorrhagic necrosis, changes in tumor blood flow, an increase of tumor clonogenic cell kill and enhancement of cytotoxic drug-mediated anti-tumor effects in murine tumor model systems12–20. We focus our discussion here on IL-1’s activities in the treatment of solid tumors either alone or in combination with the platinum agents, cisplatin or carboplatin.
