| Objective To explore the cytotoxic effect of tumor necrosis factor  and interferon on normal skeletal muscle cells in order to give more  information for treating bone tumor in the clinic Methods The Wister  rat's skeletal muscle cells were cultured as target cells .The MIT method  was used to explor the different effect on normal skeletal muscle cells  when different concentration TNF,IFN and TNF ally IFN were used in  different concentration and different time . Results It has inhibitory  effect on normal skeletal muscle cell's growth when TNF's  concentration in 500U/ml-1600U/ml . And the rat of inhibitory effect can  reach maximum when the concentration in 8000U/ml. IFN can promote  normal skeletal muscle cells'growth.When IFN's concentration in  2000U/ml , the rate of multiplication can reach maximum TNF+IFN  can promote normal skeletal muscle cells'growth . When the  concentration in 2000U/ml , the rate of multiplication can reach  maximum . Conclusion TNF has inhibitory effect on normal skeletal  muscle cell's growth . IFN has promoting and vegetating effect on  normal skeletal muscle cells . TNF ally IFN can decreased TNF's  inhibitory effect on normal skeletal muscle cells'growth and raised  immunization . The result give more information for treating bone tumor  in the clinic. |
