Effect of CD40 ligandization on breast cancer cell line and endothelial vein cell lline in vitro / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Purpose:To investigate the effect of CD40 ligandization on breast cancer cell line and endothelial vein cell line.Methods:The expression of CD40 and its ligand on breast cancer cell line(M231),EVC cell line,fresh clinic breast cancer cell were determined by indirect immunofluorescence assay with flow cytometry(FCM) analysis.Then M231 cells cultured with CD40 agonsitic monoclone antibody,adriamycin alone or in combinations for 72 hours and proliferation of M231cells was determined by MTT assay.FCM was employed to study the cells' death or apopotosis with Annexin V PI assay.Results:M231 and ECV cell line and fresh clinic breast cancer cell are highly expressed CD40 but no CD40L.CD40 ligandization can not only inhibit the proliferation of M231 cell line but also inhibit ECV cell line by promoting the death or apoptosis of these cells.Combined CD40 agonsitic monoclone antibody with adriamycin may obviously inhibit proliferation of M231 and ECV cell line.Conclusions:CD40 ligandization may have double therapeutic effect to breast cancer inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cell and inhibit tumor angiogenesis by inhibiting vascular endothelial cell.
