The complex histological pattern in Hodgkin's disease and in part in large cell anaplastic lymphomas (ALCL) suggests that close interactions exist between the tumor cells and reactive bystander cells. These interactions are most likely mediated by short ranged cytokines. The production of cytokines was analyzed in primary tissues and cell lines from Hodgkin's disease and ALCL by enzyme linked immunosorbent tests (ELISA), Northern blotting, immunohistological staining and in situ hybridization experiments. Our results indicate that Hodgkin's disease derived cell lines produce a variety of cytokines, such as IL1 alpha, IL4, IL5, IL6, IL8, IL9, TNF alpha and TNF beta but not IL1 beta, IL2, IL3 and G-CSF. In addition, the receptors for IL6 were detected in some of the cell lines. The expression of IL6 and IL6 receptors and IL9 has been confirmed for some primary tissues of Hodgkin's disease. From our data, we conclude that IL6, IL9 and additional cytokines are involved in the biology of Hodgkin's disease and ALCL.
