The role of interleukin-8 produced by tumor induced fibroblasts in the development of cutaneous melanoma

摘要

Objective To determine the role of interleukin-8(IL-8)produced by tumor induced fibroblasts in the development of cutaneous melanoma.Methods B16 melanoma cells induced L929 fibroblasts phenotype was transdifferentiated to myofibroblasts(MF)by co-culture in vitro.MF was monitored by morphology and immunophenotype for a-SMA.The level of IL-8 was detected by ELISA.The effect on B16 cell proliferation rate was estimated using MTT method in vitro.Melanoma implanting model was constructed in C57 mice.Results L929...
