Furthermore, while the addition of mannitol, histidine, taurine, and ABH to the co-culture of granulocytes and tumor cells did not show any effect on the tumor cell proliferation, compared to untreated co-cultures (p > 0.05 for both cell lines), the addition of APO, which specifically inhibits the NADPH oxidase, abolished the anti-tumor effect of granulocytes (p < 0.05 for both C6 and PC12). The gene discussed is FMO5; the disease is neoplasm.
