Abstract:
[Abstract] Objective： ： To explore the impact of γ-chain (γc) family cytokines (IL-2, IL-7, IL-15, IL-21) on T cell phenotypes in ex vivo culture to provide experimental evidence for ex vivo cell preparation in adoptive immunotherapy. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy volunteers; nylon column sorting, CD3+ magnetic beads sorting, CD3- magnetic beads sorting and natural sedimentation were used to sort T cells from PBMCs. The purity, recovery rate and viability of T cells sorted by the above methods were compared. The CD3/CD28 magnetic beads-activated CD3+T cells were cultured inAIMV medium with IL-2 or mixed cytokines (IL-7, IL-15, IL-21). The expansion fold and phenotypes of T cells in ex vivo culture were detected by flow cytometry. Results： ： The purity of T cells sorted by CD3- magnetic beads sorting was significantly higher than that sorted by nylon column, CD3+ magnetic beads sorting and natural sedimentation ([94.06±1.07]% vs [86.74±1.06]%, [89.61±1.40]%, [88.48 ± 1.86]%, P<0.05); The recovery rate of T cells sorted by natural sedimentation was significantly higher than that by other three methods ([60.29±1.53]% vs [45.03±2.79]%, [20.15±3.41]%, [42.98±2.82]%, P<0.05). Comprehensively, the natural sedimentation method is the best option. The ex vivo expansion fold of T cells in IL-2 group was significantly higher than that in mixed group ([262.6±143.2] times vs [73.0±25.8] times, P<0.05). The proportions of early memory T cells, Tscm+Tscm-like and Tcmin the mixed group were significantly higher than those in the IL-2 group ([55.6±1.82]% vs [39.6±1.52]%, [16.6±1.82]% vs [9.8±1.30]%, [39.0±1.58]% vs [29.2±1.79]%; all P < 0.05). Conclusion： ： Natural sedimentation sorting has advantages of low cost, high recovery and purity. Mixed cytokines of IL-7, IL-15 and IL-21 are beneficial for production of early memory T cells. This study provides an experimental data of ex vivo T cell preparation for cancer adoptive immunotherapy.
