The anti-proliferative effects of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), alone or in combination, on human pancreatic cancer cells lines (PANC-1, MIA PaCa-2 and BxPC-3) and human pancreatic cancer tumour (Exp-58), were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The anti-proliferative effect was determined using the dye uptake method and the subcutaneous tumour model. Combined TNF-alpha and IFN-alpha demonstrated marked synergistic and/or additive effects in comparison with their effects as single agents. These results suggest that combined cytokine therapy of TNF-alpha and IFN-alpha may make possible some improvement in the treatment of pancreatic carcinoma patients in the future.
