Proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and its depressant effect on small cell lung cancer cells in patients with paraneoplastic neurological syndrome / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) and its depressant effect on small cell lung cancer(SCLC)cells(H446) in patients with paraneoplastic neurological syndrome(PNS).Methods PBMC of 7 patients with PNS and 6 patients with SCLC were cultured with interleukin(IL)-2 in vitro,then cultured separately or mixed with H446 respectively.The proliferation index(PI,the ratio of cellular score which had proliferated and that had not proliferated) of H446,PBMC,CD4+,CD8+ T cell and the ratio of CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+ were analyzed with flow cytometry and compared with normal control group.Results Compared with cultured separately,the PI of H446,PBMC,CD4+,CD8+T cell in PBMC of PNS and SCLC groups cultured with H446 were not significantly different.Stimulated by IL-2,the ratio of CD4+ T cell in PNS patients [(76.54 ? 3.96)%]was higher than that in normal control group[(51.75 ? 17.3)%](P
