Abstract This work describes the morphological, chromosomal and presence of desmosomes of a cell line (CaLo) derived from a biopsy of cervical cancer. Our results indicate that CaLo has a typical morphology of epithelial cells, a chromosomal aneuploidy with modal number of 58 and the presence of desmosomes of bead to membrane positivity for the presence of desmoglein-1. From CaLo a clone called KaLo was also isolated. This cloning gives us evidence of the malignant origin of these cells. Both cell types were cultured in the presence of some cytokines recently used in certain clinical protocols (TNF-alpha, IL-2, IL-3 GM-CSF, M-CSF and IFN-gamma). Our results demonstrate an inhibitory effect of TNF-alpha, IL-3 and GM-CSF proliferation, whereas with M-CSF and IFN-gamma, no effect was detected. On the other hand, we observed an increase in cell proliferation in the presence of IL-2. These results suggest that TNF-alpha, IL-3 and M-CSF may have clinical applicability because of their inhibitory properties; While highlighting the risk of using in vivo IL-2, as it activates the proliferation of tumor cells of the cervix, as has been reported for some head and neck carcinomas.
