RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of dendritic cells (DC) primed by total RNA extracted from human colon cancer Lovo cell on specific cytotoxicity of cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) in vitro.Methods Cord blood mononuclear cells extracted by Ficoll density gradient centrifuge were induced into CIK and DC cells separately, and their Immunophenotype was detected by Flow cytometer. Trizol harvested total RNA from colon cancer cell Lovo and the RNAs were loaded to DCs obtained from cord blood as tumor anti gens. Effectors were grouped accordingly as CIK cells co-cultured with DCs transfected with Lovo RNA, CIK cells co- cultured with unloaded DCs and CIK cells. Targets was Lovo cells. In vitro cytotoxicity of CHK cells was extured with DCs loaded with Lovo RNA(76.49%±4.21%), DC + CIK group was lower(53.84% ± 2.15%),and CIK cells group possessed the lowest cytotoxicity(32.20% ± 3.07%), showing statistic significance( P ＜0.05). Conclusion Extraction of total RNA from tumor cells is simple and easy for clinical implementation.Total RNAs acted as antigen to pulse DCs can strengthen the specific cytotoxicity of CIK cells, which will have good prospects for clinical application.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of nerve growth factor(NGF)injection solution on immunosuppression in mice.Methods The immunosuppressed mice were induced by cyclophosphamide(Cy,80mg/kg,sc).The immunomodulatory effects of the drug were measured by cleaning carbon particle method,simple diffusion method,delayed type hypersensitivity(DTH),3H-TdR entering method and indirect immunofluorescence assay.Results The k value;a value,the level of serum IgG and ear swelling were remarkably decreased by NGF injection [0.01,0.1 mg/(kg? d)?10d,im].In addition,the number of L3T+4 Cells of peripheral blood and the ratio of L3T+4/Ly-2+ cell increase.Conclusion NGF has an enhanced effect on experimental immunosuppression in mice,which provides a theoretical basis for NGF treating tumor patients with nervous injure by chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
RESUMO
The method of combining culture of embryonic chicken mesonephrons or heart fragments with some cells on double layer agar-agar medium is used in this experiment. The authors have investigated with this method invading capacity of malignant esophageal cancer cell line (ECa-109), malignant hepatoma cell line (BEL-7402) and normal diploid Chinese hamster ovary cell line (CHO) to embryonic chicken mesonephrons and heart fragments.The authors have found that both ECa-109 cell line and BEL-7402 cell line have invasive capacity in vitro. The invasive capacity of ECa-109 cells is higher than that of BEL-7402 cells. The normal diploid CHO cells can not invade target organs and show only slight adhesion to them. The capacity for ECa-109 cells or BEL-7402 cells to invade both the embryonic chicken mesonephrons and heart fragment is similar.
