1 IL-6 signaling affects response to erlotinib in head and neck (HNSCC) cells.
IL-6 signaling affects response to erlotinib in head and neck (HNSCC) cells. FaDu cells were pretreated with 100 ng/mL of human recombinant IL-6 for 2 hours before treatment with or without 5 μmol/L erlotinib (ERL) for 48 hours. Treated cells were analyzed for cytotoxicity via clonogenic analysis (A). DMSO was used as a control (CON). FaDu cells were treated with 1 μmol/L of the IL-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab (TOC) or IgG with or without 5 μmol/L erlotinib (ERL) for 48 hours then analyzed by clonogenic assay (B). Athymic (nu/nu) mice bearing FaDu (C) and SQ20B (D) xenograft tumors were treated with 1 mg/mouse tocilizumab (TOC) and/or 12 mg/kg erlotinib (ERL) for 10 days. Tocilizumab was given intraperitoneally every other day and erlotinib was given by oral gavage every day. Control mice (CON) received IgG. Data points represent the average values for 9 mice. Error bars represent the SEM. *P < 0.05 versus DMSO or IgG control. **P < 0.05 versus ERL. Elise V.M. Fletcher et al. Mol Cancer Res 2013;11: ©2013 by American Association for Cancer Research
