Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the effects of 4-1BBL on antitumor immunity induced in vivo by murine 4-1BBL gene transfected Hepa1-6.
METHODSRetrovirus vector was used to transfer the 4-1BBL gene into syngeneic murine heptocellular carcinoma cell line Hepa1-6. The products were termed as Hepa1-6/4-1BBL, and then the TCV4-1BBL was obtained by treating them with mitomycin (MMC). Three models (immunological model, early model, and later model) were established to study the antitumor effects of TCV4-1BBL.
RESULTS(1)In immunological models, the syngeneic mice were completely protected by inoculation with TCV4-1BBL, survived free from tumor for a long period (over 100 days). (2)In early models (7 days after inoculation), Hepa1-6 tumor cells showed strong immunogenicity effects and (3) In later models (14 days after inoculation), they had obvious antitumor effects and most of the tumors were disappeared.
CONCLUSIONSThe antitumor effect against syngeneic murine hepatocellular carcinoma in vivo is obviously enhanced by treating them with TCV4-1BBL
