Abstract:
Objective To study on the cytotoxic effects in vivo and in vitro of the T lymphocytes which were activated by the DC-gastric cancer cell fusion vaccines. Methods The mononuclear cells were separated from the peripheral blood of gastric cancer patients and co-cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factors, interleukin-4 and tumor necrosis factor-? to generate mature dendritic cells. The human gastric cancer SGC7901 cells and the dendritic cells were fusioned by using polyethylene glycol, and the pure fusion cells were screened out by culturing with HAT and HT selective culture systems. The mixture of SGC7901 and DC without fusion and the T lymphocytes served as controls. The ability of fusion cells activated by T lymphocytes to kill SGC7901 gastric cancer cells was investigated by MTT in vitro. The anti-tumor effects were evalutated by detecting the growth of the new planted tumors in the nude mice, the apoptosis and proliferation of the planted cancer cells, the pathological changes of the tumor tissues and the prohibitive rate for planted tumors before and after the application of the fusion cell vaccine. Results The mature dendritic cells were obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of gastric cancer patients successfully. Dendritic cells and SGC7901 cells were fusioned and the pure fusion cells were got. Fusion vaccine could induce strong anti-tumor biological effects in vivo and in vitro: Tumor growth was remarkably inhibited and the tumor size in mice receiving fusion cells was (1.298?0.021) cm 3, smaller than that in mice receiving T lymphocytes as treatment (P
