1 The ability of the phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and the calcium ionophore, A23187, in co-stimulation with PHA, to enhance the IL-2 secretion, IL-2R expression and 3H thymidine incorporation were studied in the PBMC of colorectal cancer patients.

2 A23187 is known to be effective in elevating cytosolic free Ca2+ and PMA is regarded as an activator of protein kinase C. Therefore, we may conclude that the impairment of IL-2 production and IL-2R expression in PHA-stimulated cultures is mainly due to failure of the free Ca2+ release which can be repaired by A23187.
