ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss dendritic cell-cytokine-induced killer (DC-CIK ) cell therapy effects and clinical out-comes in patients with colorectal cancer in order to have better clinical treatment .Methods A retrospective analysis of the data of 66 patients with colorectal cancer from the Biological Therapy Department of the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital was performed from January 2012 to January 2014 ,and then was followed up .Taking gender ,age ,degree of pathological differen-tiation ,TNM staging ,surgical methods ,and targeted therapy as the research basis ,by the Kaplan-Meier single factor and Cox multiple factors analysis we mainly discuss the DC-CIK cell treatment′s effect on the prognoses of patients .Results Kaplan-Meier single factor analysis results indicate :to a certain extent ,DC-CIK cell therapy can improve the prognoses of patients ;Cox multi-factor analysis results indicate whether accepting DC-CIK cell therapy is an independent factor influencing the prog-noses of patients .Conclusion DC-CIK cells therapy can improve the prognoses of patients with colorectal cancer .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the specific anti-tumor effect of cytokine-induced killer cell (CIK) activation by dentritic cells (DC) loaded with the tumor antigen from human lung cancer cell line A549. Methods CIKs and DCs derived from the health donor's peripheral blood monocyte (PBMC) were isolated and induced by the cytokine in vitro. DCs were generated by culture of adherent cells from PBMC for 7days in the presence of IL-4 and GM-CSF. CIKs were generated by culture of non-adherent cells for 7 or 14 days in the presence of INF-?, IL-2, IL-1?, and mouse anti-human CD3 monoclonal antibody. The phenotype of DC and CIK was analyzed by FCM. The activity of DC was evaluated by MLR; and the cytotoxicity of CIK was assayed by MTT. The CIK expression profile of cytokine and signal transduction genes were detected by the DNA micro-array under different circumstances. Results Phenotypic analysis indicated that CD3+CD56+NKT cells were predominant in the CIK cells generated in the current study, and that DC cells expressed high levels of CD40, CD80, CD86 and HLA-DR. As demonstrated by MTT assay, the CIK cells proliferated rapidly, and the DC cells were able to induce an MLR. Both antigen-pulsed and unpulsed DC stimulated the proliferation of CIK cells, and no significant difference was found between the two kinds of DC cells. Unpulsed DC cells did not enhance cytotoxicity mediated by CIK cells even though they were able to stimulate CIK proliferation. Antigen-pulsed DC, however, stimulated CIK cells to specifically kill target cells. The specific antitumor effect was also observed in nude mice bearing tumors. Conclusion One of the major effects of antigen-pulsed DC is to activate CIK cells and to make them specific in killing tumor cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To research PHA-CIK cells' phenotype and cytotoxicity. Methods: Using phytohemagglutinin(PHA)to stimulate peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMNCs) for 24 h,then cultured like incubating cytokine induced killers by traditional method. On 15th day examined its immunophenotype by flow cytometry and using MTT method to evaluate cytotoxicity. Results: The ratio of CD3+,CD8+, CD3+ CD8+ and CD3+ CD56+ cells were high.PHA-CK cells cytotoxicity was strong in some degree.Conclusion:PHA-CIK cells had strong cytotoxicity.The result provides an experimental basis for biotherapy.
