We examined the association of regular NSAID use and polymorphisms in prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase-2 (COX2), prostaglandin E synthase (PTGES), interleukin-1 alpha (IL1A), IL-1 beta (IL1B), and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA), and lymphoma risk by applying logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
No activity for interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), IL-1 beta, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), which are known to augment ICAM-1 expression, was detected in CEM-SUP by ELISA.
Conditioned media (CM) from a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line expressing interleukins 1 and 6 (IL-1, IL-6), granulocyte (G), macrophage (M), and GM colony-stimulating factors (G, M, GM-CSF) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) were used to stimulate growth of bone marrow (BM) cells from 18 persons with leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or lymphoma.
