Abstract

Studies conducted in our lab have indicated that thalidomide cytotoxicity in the KG-1a human acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cell line was enhanced by combining it with arsenic trioxide. The current investigation was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of thalidomide either alone or in combination with arsenic trioxide on the release of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from this cell line in an attempt to clarify its possible cytotoxic mechanism(s). Human AML cell line KG-1a was used in this study. The cells were cultured for 48 h in the presence or absence of thalidomide (5 mg/l), and or arsenic trioxide (4 µΜ). The levels of TNF-α and VEGF in the supernatant were determined by ELISA. Results obtained indicate that the levels of TNF-α in the supernatant of KG-1a cell cultures incubated with thalidomide, arsenic trioxide, or combination were statistically lower than those observed in the supernatant of control cells (2.89, 5.07, 4.15 and 16.88 pg/ml, respectively). However, the levels of VEGF in the supernatant of thalidomide-treated cells were statistically higher than those in the supernatant of control cells (69.61 vs. 11.48 pg/l). Arsenic trioxide, whether alone or in combination with thalidomide, did not produce any statistically significant difference in the levels of VEGF as compared to the control or thalidomide-treated cell supernatant. These findings indicate that thalidomide and the arsenic trioxide inhibition of TNF-α production by KG-1a cells may play an important role in their cytotoxic effect.
