目的:探索体外诱导DCs活化的方法和制备肾癌树突状细胞(DCs)瘤苗。方法:制备肾癌细胞冻融抗原;取健康人新鲜血分离外周血单个核细胞(PBMC),应用GM—CSF+IL-4刺激,诱导PBMC为iDCs,然后进行分组,采用不同因子刺激iDCs转化为mDCs,其中A组:冻融抗原负载;B组:TNF-α+冻融抗原负载;C组:IL-1β+冻融抗原负载;D组:TNF-α+IL-1β+冻融抗原负载。结果:各组均可诱导iDCs的成熟,并高表达CD86、CD80和HLA—DR;相对于其它组,D组DCs更显著上调CD83和CD54表达(P〈0.05)和IL-12分泌(P〈0.01),且D组mDCs更有效地刺激淋巴细胞增殖(P〈0.05)。结论:TNF-α+IL-1β与肾癌细胞冻融抗原协同可有效促进DCs成熟、增强诱导淋巴细胞活化的能力。
AIM: To investigate the effects of renal tumor cell lysates and other cytokines on the activation of immature dendritic cells ( iDCs ), and to develop DCs vaccines for stimulation of renal tumour - specific immunity. METHODS: DCs induced from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy volunteers were cultured and propagated in vitro using rhGM - CSF and rhIL - 4, and then were cocultured with renal tumor cell lysates and different cytokines. A group : only with renal tumor cell lysates; B group: with renal tumor cell lysates and TNF -α; C group: with renal tumor cell lysates and IL - 1β ; D group : renal tumor cell lysates and TNF - α + IL - 1β. RESULTS : iDCs were induced to mature in all four groups, and high level expressions of CD86, CD80 and HLA - DR were observed. Compared to other groups, DCs in D group expressed CD83 and CD54 at higher level ( P 〈 0. 05 ), secreted higher quantity of IL - 12 ( P 〈 0. 01 ). Moreover, mDCs in D group induced multiplication of lymphopoiesis more effectively (P 〈 0. 05 ). CONCLUSION: Renal tumor cell lysates and TNF - α + IL-1β induce the mature phenotype and IL - 12 production in DCs and synergistically promote the stimulatory effects of lymphopoiesis.
