Anti‐tumor effects of interleukin‐2 and interleukin‐1 in mice transplanted with different syngeneic tumors

We have studied the anti‐tumor effects of human recombinant IL‐2, alone or in association with LAK cells, in mice transplanted subcutaneously (s.c.) with the following syngeneic tumors: highly metastatic Friend leukemia cells (FLC), non‐metastatic FLC, lymphoma RBL‐S cells and HeJ16 fibrosarcoma cells. In these tumor models, peri‐tumoral injections of IL‐2 were more effective in inhibiting tumor growth than a systemic treatment. Although s.c. IL‐2 treatment resulted in marked inhibition of tumor growth in mice injected s.c. with highly metastatic FLC, it was not effective in inhibiting growth of FLC in the liver and spleen. IL‐2 therapy was more effective at increasing survival time in mice transplanted with non‐metastatic FLC or with RBL‐5 cells. In mice transplanted wth HeJ16 fibrosarcomas, s.c. IL‐2 treatment resulted in highly significant anti‐tumor effect and survival of 70% of tumor‐injected mice. No general correlation was found between in vitro sensitivity or resistance to the cytolytic activity of LAK cells and the anti‐tumor effects observed in vivo. Subcutaneous injection of IL‐1β in mice transplanted with highly metastatic FLC resulted in a marked increase in survival time and inhibition of metastatic tumor growth in liver and spleen. Combined treatment of IL‐1β and IL‐2 produced a synergistic anti‐tumor effect: 60% of mice injected with highly metastatic FLC survived. Combined IL‐1/IL‐2 treatments exerted no anti‐tumor activity either in DBA/2 mice injected with antibody to Thy 1.2 antigen or in nude mice, indicating that T cells play important roles during IL‐1/IL‐2 therapy. In vitro treatment of FLC with IL‐1β resulted in a slight inhibition of cell multiplication, whereas even high doses of IL‐2 did not affect FLC multiplication. Our results indicate that local combined treatments with IL‐1 and IL‐2 can induce potent, host‐dependent (T cell‐mediated) anti‐tumor effects against highly malignant tumors.
