Inhibitory effects of CIK on lung cancer A549 cells intensified by chemotherapyinduced damaged associated molecular pattern / 中国肿瘤生物治疗杂志

ABSTRACT

@# Objective: To investigate the effect of DAMP (damaged associated molecular pattern) on the inhibition of RAS-mutant A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells by CIK cells and its mechanism. Methods: Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated in vitro and CIK cells were cultured. A549 cells were treated with cisplatin (DDP) and doxorubicin (ADM) alone or in combination, and the morphology of A549 cells was observed under a microscope. The supernatant of A549 cells was co-cultured with CIK cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the CIK cell immunophenotype after co-culture. MTT assay was used to detect the inhibition of A549 lung cancer cell proliferation induced by A549 cell supernatant. The concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs kills A549 cell supernatant CRT, ATP, HMGB1 content. Results: Low-level chemotherapeutic drugs showed more immunogenic death characteristics after killingA549 cells. The ratio of CD8+ and CD56+ in CIK cells was significantly higher than that in control CIK cells (P<0.05). The inhibition rate of CIK cells induced byA549 cells after injury onA549 lung adenocarcinoma cells was significantly higher than that of the same dose chemotherapy group [DDP group (31.34±1.51)% vs (5.97±1.74)%, ADM group (45.46±1.78)% vs (6.22±1.34)%, DDP+ ADM group (45.78±1.14)% vs (11.94±3.11)%, all P<0.05], and low-mass chemotherapeutic agents killed C549 induced by A549 cell supernatant on A549 The inhibition rate of the cells was higherthan that of the supernatant induced by the higher concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs (all P<0.05). The level of CRT,ATP, and HMGB1 in immunogenicity-related molecules in the supernatant ofA549 cells was significantly increased by low-concentration chemotherapy drugs (all P<0.05). In the low-concentration group, the supernatant-induced inhibition of the proliferation of A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells increased with the increase of CRT, ATP, and HMGB1 levels. Conclusion: The combination of lower concentration of DDP and ADM alone or in combination could more easily induce the immunogenic death of A549 cells and release higher levels of DAMP molecules, which could promote the inhibitory effect of CIK on lung cancerA549 cells.
