Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of sensitized dendritic cells in the treatment of bladder tumor and further discuss the mechanism of this immunotherapy. Methods 44 female F344 rats, which irrigated N-methyl-N-nitrosourea into bladders every other week for a total of five doses, were induced to bladder tumor. They were treated subcutaneously with either PBS, unsensitized DC, freeze thawing supernatant of tumor cells, or sensitized DC respectively every week for a total of four times. In the fifteenth week, their bladders were weighted and harvested for observation by naked eye and microscope, their blood was harvested for examination CTL by FCM. Results The weight of bladders in sensitized DC group was lower than those in PBS group, unsensitized DC group and freeze thawing supernatant of bladder tumor cells group (P<0.05). The stages of bladder tumor in sensitized DC group were statistically descended compared with those in PBS group (P <0.05). The CD+3 T cells in sensitized DC group was lower than those in PBS group, unsensitized DC group and freeze thawing supernatant of bladder tumor cells group (P <0.05). The CD+3 CD+8 CD+28 T cells in sensitized DC group was higher than those in PBS group, unsensitized DC group and freeze thawing supematant of bladder tumor cells group(P <0.001). Conclusion Sensitized DC injecting subcutaneously can reduce the stages of F344 rats' bladder tumor, Unsensitized DC injecting subcutaneously has not effect in the treatment of bladder tumor;, while the effect of freeze thawing supematant of tumor cells injecting subcutaneously is not well. The mechanism of sensitized DC in the treatment of blader tumor is that DC plays an immunol killing role by presenting antigen, stimulating CTL.
