Abstract:
Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of agonistic CD40 monoclonal antibody on the colon cancer cells (HCT116) proliferation in vitro.Methods The DCs (dendritic cells) loaded with tumor cells (HCT116) antigens were activated by different methods.According to the activation method,the cells were divided into three groups:agonistic CD40 monoclonal antibody group,blank control group and TNF-α positive control group.The cells were cultured for 7 days,and the expression rates of CD80,CD83,CD86 and HLA-DR on DC surface in each group were detected by flow cytometry.The concentration of cytokine IL-12(p70) in DCs culture supernatant was determined by ELISA kit.The proliferation activity of the T lymphocytes was evaluated by MTT (methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium).Then the inhibition rate of colon cancer HCT116 cells proliferation,which induced by the tumor-specific effector T lymphocytes,was assayed.Results Compared with the blank control group,the agonistic CD40 monoclonal antibody group had a significantly higher expression rates of CD80,CD83,CD86 and HLA-DR on DC surface (P＜0.05).The concentration of IL-12 in the supernatant of DC was also much higher in the agonistic CD40 monoclonal antibody group (P＜0.05,(716.80±53.43) pg/ml vs.(405.51 ±12.17) pg/ml).The DCs activated by CD40 monoclonal antibody had stronger ability to stimulate proliferation of T lymphocytes (P＜0.05,the stimulation index was (2.006 2±0.438 3) to (1.365 0±0.209 8)).The tumor-specific CTLs induced by DCs in the agonistic CD40 monoclonal antibody group had stronger ability to inhibit colon cancer HCT116 cells (P＜0.05,the inhibition rate was (66.08±0.41)％ vs.(46.60± 1.10)％).However,there was no statistical significance between the agonistic CD40 monoclonal antibody group and the TNF-α positive control group (P＞0.05).Conclusion Agonistic CD40 monoclonal antibody in vitro can promote activation and mature of DCs,then the activated DCs can induce the production of tumor-specific CTL,which can significantly inhibit the proliferation of colon cancer HCT116 cells.
