e report that IL 1 acts on the endothelium, inducing a long-lasting increase in its adhesivity to tumor cells. Selective pretreatment of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EC) with IL 1 caused a significant increase in adhesion of three human colorectal carcinoma (HT-29, HCC-P2988, and HCC-M1410) cell lines and one human melanoma (A-375) cell line. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was as effective as IL 1 in promoting tumor cell adhesion to EC, whereas IFN gamma and IL 2 were inactive. The IL 1 and TNF induction of EC adhesivity was both concentration (threshold concentration 1 U/ml) and time dependent (peak 4-6 h), reversible within 24 h, and blocked by a protein synthesis inhibitor. The IL 1 and TNF action on EC may play a role in tumor cell lodgement.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not
allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...".
Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you
configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can
usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
