Interferon-α promotes the antiproliferative effect of
gefitinib on human colon cancer cell lines SW-480 and
LOVO.
ABSTRACT
Background and Aims: Interferon-α (IFN-α) treatment is associated with up-regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and marked growth inhibition of colon cancer cell lines. We aimed to determine the effect of combining IFN-α and gefitinib in the growth of human colon cancer cell lines.
