Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical significance and effect of dysfunction of dendritic cell( DC) in colorectal cancer with liver metastasis.Methods Peripheral blood were respectively collected from healthy adult donors (30 cases), preoperative and postoperative coloreatal cancer patients without liver metastasis (30 cases) , and 30 postoperative coloreatal cancer patients with liver metastasis from Jan 2008 to Jun 2010.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated, GM-CSF( 1000 U/ml) , IL-4( 1000 U/ml) and TNF-α ( 1000 U /ml) were added into cell culture fluid to induce the mononuclear cells for mature dendritic cells.There were two subgroups, and in antigen processing subgroup the lysate of HT29 colonic carcinoma cells (100 μg/ml) were added into the cell culture fluid.The T lymphocytes from healthy adults were added into two subgroups by ratio of 1∶10 ( DCs∶ T cells) , cocultured for 7 days.The level of INF-γ and IL-10 in cell culture fluid was assayed with ELISA method.The optical density (OD) of CCK8 ans LDH was assayed with ELIASA to indirectly measure the reproductive activity and the killing efficacy of T lymphocytes.Results The IL-10 level in cocultured fluid of peripheral blood DCs in postoperative colorectal carcinoma patients with liver metastasis and T lymphocytes of healthy adults was significantly higher than that of preoperative patients of colorectal carcinoma and health adults without tumor antigenic stimulation(11.9±1.3) pg/ml vs.(29.6±9.7) pg/ml, (23.4±8.0) pg/ml, F =4.475, P ＜0.05).The IFN-γ level in cocultured fluid of peripheral blood DCs in postoperative colorectal carcinoma patients with liver metastasis and T lymphocytes of healthy adults was significantly higher than that of postoperative patients of colorectal carcinoma and healthy adults with or without tumor antigenic stimulation ( 34 ± 9) pg/ml vs.(26 ± 12 ) pg/ml, (24 ± 6) pg/ml, F = 5.206, P ＜ 0.05).The killing activity of healthy adults T lymphocytes induced by HT29 colonic carcinoma cells in postoperative colorectal carcinoma patients with liver metastasis was significantly higher than that of preoperative patients of colorectal carcinoma and healthy adults (30.6 ±8.6) pg/ml vs.(12.1 ±2.4) pg/ml, (14.9 ± 1.7) pg/ml, F =4.147, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions T lymphocytes produce IL-10 when indued by DCs from patients with colorectal carcinoma under stimulation of tumor antigen leading to tumor immune escape and liver metastasis.The killing activity of T lymphocytes can be enhanced when stimulated by exogenous tmuor antigen.
