1 Interleukin 6 differentially potentiates the antitumor effects of taxol and vinblastine in U266 human myeloma cells. Paclitaxel interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 In the presence of IL-6, the DNA distribution pattern induced by Taxol or vinblastine was altered. Paclitaxel interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
3 Whereas IL-6 augmented the sub-G1 fraction and G2-M phase for Taxol-treated cells, only the G2-M phase was increased for vinblastine-treated cells. Paclitaxel interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
4 In the presence of IL-6, the number of cells containing microtubule asters increased for Taxol treatment, but not for vinblastine treatment. Paclitaxel interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
5 These data indicate that IL-6 leads to differential modulation of the cytotoxicity of Taxol and vinblastine in U266 cells. Paclitaxel interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
6 Furthermore, our data suggest that the microtubule-associated form of mitogen-activated protein kinase may play a role in IL-6-mediated enhancement of the cytotoxicity of Taxol. Paclitaxel interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
