Abstract Interleukin-6 (IL-6)/IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) plays a major role in autocrine/paracrine growth regulation of myeloma cells. We investigated the effect of dexamethasone and all-trans retinoic acid, previously shown to modulate IL-6/IL-6R, on the in vitro growth of a human myeloma cell line, OPM-2. Both agents inhibited the clonogenic growth and 3H- thymidine incorporation in a concentration-dependent fashion. Isobologram and median effect analysis showed a strong synergy between these two agents with a combination index in the range of 0.2 to 0.6. Both agents decreased the labeling index and the cell fraction in S and G2/M phases, suggesting a block in G1-S phase transition. The clonogenic growth was stimulated by exogenous IL-6 and was inhibited by monoclonal antibody to IL-6, suggesting an autocrine function of IL-6. The effect of dexamethasone but not all-trans retinoic acid was completely reversed by exogenous IL-6. Dexamethasone increased, while all-trans retinoic acid reduced, IL-6R but not gp130 mRNA expression. Their combination caused a net reduction in IL-6R mRNA. Cellular IL-6R density was altered correspondingly without changes in the binding affinity. IL-6 mRNA expression was reduced by dexamethasone and the combination, but was not affected by retinoic acid alone. However, IL-6 secretion into culture supernatant was abolished by both agents. A survey of 4 additional human myeloma cells showed that 1 was sensitive to both, 1 was sensitive to one agent only, and 2 were resistant to both. The study demonstrates the possibility of regulating myeloma cell growth through modulation of IL-6/IL-6R autocrine/paracrine loop and the principle of achieving a synergistic effect by blocking this loop at multiple sites.
