Effect of IL-18 on expression of molecule on surface of 9 L in vitro and in vivo / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the influence of IL-18 on the expression of MHCⅠ,MHCⅡ,CD80,CD86 on the surface of 9L cells,to identify the effect of IL-18 on the immunogenicity and the efficiency of tumor antigen presentation of 9L.Methods:Retroviruses were used to transduce the mIL-18 gene into rat glioma cells and the cell clones (9L/IL-18) which steadily expressing mIL-18 gene were obtained ,and got the control cells of 9L/LXSN by the same method.The expression of MHCⅠ,MHCⅡ,CD80,CD86 on the cell surface were assessed by flow cytometry.The cell suspension of 9L/IL-18,9L/LXSN and 9L cells were inoculated into the brain of F344 rat to establish the animal models by the stereotactic technique ,got the tumor tissues to analyze the expression of MHCⅠ, MHCⅡ,CD80 and CD86 on the surface of tumor cells after 14 days.Results:The expression of MHCⅠ,MHCⅡ,CD80 and CD86 on the surface of 9L/IL-18 were (10.9±1.44)%,(0.61±0.14)%,(1.01±0.14)%,(0.57±0.11)% ; had no significant differences with the others in vitro (P>0.05);while the expression of MHCⅠ,CD80 and CD86 on the surface of 9L/IL-18 were(67.51± 1.40)%,(12.51±1.57)%,(6.95±0.56)%which were higher than 9L/LXSN and 9L cells (P0.05) in vivo.Conclusion: IL-18 did not affect the immunogenicity of 9L in vitro,but improve the immunogenicity and tumor antigen presentation in vivo.
