The optimum inhibitory effects of Alpha Interferon and Cisplatin in colon cancer, a comparative in vitro study.

Cisplatin is well known as a potent anti-cancer agent against colon cancer. However, alpha interferons are also widely used for cancer suppression. This in vitro study was designed to investigate and compare the cancer suppression function of alpha interferon in colon cancer with Cisplatin. The analysis used a human SW 480 cancer cell line with RPMI-1630 culture media. Six dilutions of interferon (2.5 μg/ml, 1.25 μg/ml, 0.562 μg/ml, 0.286 μg/ml, 0.143 μg/ml, and 0.057 μg/ml) and six dilutions of cisplatin (100 μg/ml, 50 μg/ml, 25 μg/ml, 6.25 μg/ml, and 3.125) were used at 24, 48 and 72 hours along with the presence of control groups. Following this, results were observed by ELISA plate reader, and percentage inhibition was calculated using ANOVA analysis. The interferon and cisplatin percentage of inhibition was comparable with higher inhibition rates observed with alpha interferon. The statistical analysis showed that the maximum inhibition was observed at a 0.143 μg/ml interferon concentration when exposed for 48 to 72 hours. This in vitro analysis demonstrated the anti-cancer activity of alpha interferon and its advanced inhibitory activity compared to Cisplatin. ©2022 JOURNAL of MEDICINE and LIFE.
