目的探讨以人工抗原呈递细胞模拟树突细胞(DC)体外诱导特异性T淋巴细胞活化、增殖,观察特异性T淋巴细胞杀伤白血病细胞的效应。方法用慢性粒细胞白血病细胞特异性抗原肽(CML28)作为目标肽,并以磁珠同时负载人工合成的HLA-A2-Ig二聚体-抗原肽(CML28)复合物以及B7-1分子,作为诱导T淋巴细胞的活化、增殖的双信号分子,模拟抗原呈递细胞的生物功能,建立一种人工抗原呈递细胞;从HLA-A2健康骨髓捐献者骨髓或外周血中分离出单个核细胞作为效应细胞,并与人工抗原呈递细胞共孵育,以流式细胞术检测特异性T淋巴细胞活化、增殖程度。以初治急性白血病细胞作为靶细胞,将特异性T淋巴细胞与白血病细胞分别以5:1,10:1,20:1,40:1,80:1比例共孵育4h,用乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)释放实验检测杀伤急性白血病细胞的效果。结果以该人工抗原呈递细胞刺激T淋巴细胞后,其CML28特异性T淋巴细胞比例明显增高,实验组中抗原肽ALFCGVACA、FLQGDTSVL、DLMSSTKGL、VLTFALDSV所诱导的特异性T淋巴细胞比例分别为(13.5±1.6)%、(15.2±1.5)%、(14.7±1.8)%、(34.3±3.5)%,与对照组[(2.2±0.4)%]比较,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.01)。当效应细胞与靶细胞分别以5:1,10:1,20:1,40:1,80:1混合后,随着效应细胞的增加,诱导杀伤急性白血病细胞效率也明显增强,与对照组比较,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论以磁珠为平台的人工抗原呈递细胞能有效模拟人抗原呈递细胞,诱导T淋巴细胞特异性杀伤白血病细胞,为白血病的免疫治疗提供了一种新的途径。
Objective To explore the activation and proliferation of specific T cells induced by artificial antigen-presenting cells (aAPCs) simulated dendritic cells (DCs) and to observed the effect of these T cells on leukemic cell killing. Methods aAPCs were developed by coating a human leukocyte antigen-immu- noglobulin fusion protein ( HLA-lg), which was connected each one of the four CML28 antigen epitopes (DLMSSTKGL, DLMSSTKGL, ALFCGVACA, VLTFALDSV), and CD28-specific antibody, to magnetbeads CML cell specific peptides (CML28) served as target peptides. Bone marrow (BM) or peripharal blood (PB) mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated from HLA-A2 healthy volunteers, and co-cultured with aAPCs. Specific T lymphocyte were detected by flow cytometry. The fresh acute leukemic cells were used as target cells. The specific T cells incubated with leukemic cells for 4 h at ratios of 5: 1,10: 1,20: 1,40: 1,80: 1, respectively. The effect of leukemic cells killing was detected by lactate dehydrogenase release test. Resuits The average ratio of CML-28 specific T lymphocyte in control group was (2.2 ± 0.4 ) % and in experimental groups ( DLMSSTKGL, DLMSSTKGL, ALFCGVACA, VLTFALDSV) were ( 13. 5 ± 1. 6 )%, ( 15.2 ± 1.5 ) %, ( 14.7 ± 1.8 ) % and ( 34.3 ± 3.5 ) %, respectively, being significantly higher than that in control group (P 〈 0.01 ). Induction efficiencies of acute leukemic cells killing were significantly enhanced by increase of effector cells. The cytotoxic activity of specific T lymphocyte in one experimental group (VLTFALDSV) was much higher than that in other three experimental group (P 〈 0.05). Conclusion This "prime and expand " regimen should be an alternative method for large scale amplification of rare tumor-specific CTLs and aAPCs might be a useful tool for leukemia immunotherapy.
