ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effects of ICA on HepG2.2.15 cell proliferation, their sensitivity to the lysis by CD3AK effector cell, to investigate the reversal action of ICA on hepatocarcinoma cells from immune escape through Fas/FasL pathway.To provide the theoretical and experimental bases for ICA development.Methods:MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation and CD3AK cells cytotoxicity activity;flow cytometry assay was used to examine expression of surface molecules and apoptosis rate of HepG2.2.15 cells.Results:When HepG2.2.15 cells line was treated with 50 ?g/ml ICA,a significant reduction of the rate of cell proliferation was observed. Inhibition rate at 48h was 22.04%,and 29.68% at 72h.Kinetic study showed that inhibition of cell proliferation was time dependent (P0.05).ICA could inhibit apoptosis of Jurkat cells induced by HepG2.2.15 cells. In the co-culture system of HepG2.2.15 cell and Jurkat T cell, apoptosis ratio of Jurkat cell was reduced from 46.66% to 18.20% by ICA (P
