目的:观察肝癌细胞抗原致敏的树突状细胞(Dendriticcells,DC)与细胞因子诱导的杀伤细胞(Cytokine-inducedkillercells,CIK)共培养后的细胞增殖活性、表型的变化及其对肝癌细胞HepG2的杀伤活性。方法:采集健康供者的外周血单个核细胞(Peripheralbloodmononuclearcells,PBMNC),常规诱导出DC、CIK,用肝癌细胞HepG2抗原冲击DC(Ag-DC),并将其与CIK共培养(Ag-DC-CIK),观察CIK和Ag-DC-CIK的细胞表型及增殖活性,并以肝癌细胞HepG2作为靶细胞,用MTT法检测CIK和Ag-DC-CIK的杀伤活性。结果:肝癌细胞抗原致敏的DC与CIK细胞共培养后,Ag-DC-CIK细胞群增殖活性明显增强,且高表达CD3+CD8+、CD3+CD56+双阳性细胞,其增殖活性和杀伤活性较单纯的CIK细胞更高(P<0.05)。结论:肿瘤抗原致敏的DC与CIK共培养获得的Ag-DC-CIK增殖活性和对肝癌细胞的杀伤活性显著高于CIK细胞。
Objective:To observe the proliferation activities,phenotype changes and killing activities of liver cell antigen-pulsed den-dritic cells(Ag-DC) cultured with cytokine-induced killer(CIK) cells against HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells. Methods:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMNC) were isolated from healthy donors,then DC and CIK cells were induced. The Ag-DC was co-cul-tured with CIK(Ag-DC-CIK) and the phenotype and proliferation of CIK and Ag-DC-CIK cells were observed. Their cytotoxicity ac-tivities against HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells were detected by MTT assay. Results:The proliferation of Ag-DC-CIK cell group was significantly enhanced and high expressions of double positive cells of CD3+CD8+ and CD3+CD56+ were observed. The proliferation and cytotoxic activity were higher in Ag-DC-CIK cells than in CIK cells(P<0.05). Conclusion:The proliferation and liver cancer cell-killing activity of Ag-DC-CIK cells which obtained from co-culturing of Ag-DC and CIK cells are significantly higher compared with those of CIK cells.
