Objective: To investigate the influence of Icarrin(ICA) on transforming growth factor ?2(TGF?2) expression by PG cells and the mechanisms of reversion of TGF?2 mediated immunosuppression by ICA.Methods: Cell proliferation and cytotoxici- ty were assayed by MTT assay. mRNA level of TGF?2 and perforin was detected by RT-PCR assay. assay.Expression of TGF?2 and IL- 2R? was analysed by folw cytometry assay. Results: ICA could inhibit the protein and mRNA expression of TGF?2 in PG cells. It could also reverse the supressed cytotoxicity of LAK, CD3AK cells by TGF?2. The IL-2R? expression on LAK and perforin gene transcription and proliferation of CD3AK inhibited by TGF?2 were also partly recovered. Conclusion: The anti-anti-tumor activity of ICA is at least partly due to its capability of inhibiting TGF?2 expression in tumor cells and restoring the cytotoxicity of immunocompetent cells inhibited by TGF?2.

Human CD3AK cells were prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by culturing with recombinant IL-2 and antiCD3AK McAb. The mechanism and regulation of CD3AK cytotoxic activity with cytokines (rhIFN-?, rhIFN-?, TNF) and chernotherapeutic agents (CDDP or ADM) were observed by LDH-release assay, ABC-CELISA and the flow cytometric assay. The results showed: (1) Adhesion molecules ICAM-l/LFA-1 participated in CD3AK-mediated killing of tumor cells, hrlFN-? and TNF enhanced cytotoxicity of CD3AK through this pathway. (2) CD3AK could indirectly kill tumor cells by releasing soluable cytotoxic factors. (3) The membrane-associated TNF may be involved in CD3AK-mediated cytotoxicity. (4) CD3AK cells could induce the apoptosis of tumor cells. (5) Pretreatment of tumor cells with CDDP or ADM resulted in the increased vulnerability of tumor cells to CD3AK-mediated killing, the enhancement of CD3AK-mediated cytotoxicity by CDDP was relative to the increased expression of ICAM-1, HLA-ABC on tumor cell membrane.

Objective To explore the mechanism by which the anti-human P185erbB2 scFv-Fc-IL-2(HFI)modulates tumor surface molecules and activates immune effector cells in vitro. MethodsMTT assay was used to test the proliferation and the LAK-like cytotoxicity. Flow cytometry assay was used to test the expression of ICAM-1, Fas and erbB2 receptors in tumor cells and the expression levels of CD molecules FasL and LFA-1 in human PBMC. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity(ADCC)mediated by HFI against SKOV3, MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells was explored hv LDH release assay. Results The expression levels of ICAM-1 and Fas on SKOV3 cell treated with HFI were upregulated, from 24.85％ and 0.53％ to 85.36％ and 59.19％ respectively, while the expression levels of erbB2 on SKOV3, MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells treated with HFI were downregulated, from 98.48％, 42.60％ and 36.66％ to 94.01％,30.95％ and 12.36％ respectively. HFI could significantly enhance the proliferation activity of human PBMC, and CD3+ CD8+ T cells and CD3- CD16+ CD56+ NK cells were elevated, from 24.37％ and 6.90％ to 38.80％ and 13.45％ respectively. The expression levels of CD25, LFA-1 and FasL were significantly enhanced from 3.99％, 86.52％ and 5.02％ to 12.96％, 99.06％ and 16.19％. The LAK-like cytotoxicity of human PBMC treated with HFI against SKOV3, MCF-7,SGC-7901 tumor cells was significantly improved:HFI was effective in mediating ADCC against SKOV3,MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells which expressed high,medium and low levels of erbB2,respectively,and HFI-induced ADCC was correlated with the degrees of erbB2 expression on the tumor cells. Conclusion The expression levels of ICAM-1 and Fas on SKOV3 cell treated with HFI are significantly upregulated. The expression levels of erbB2 on SKOV3, MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells treated with HFI are downregulated. HFI can significantly enhance the proliferation activity of human PBMC. The LAK-like eytotoxicity of human PBMC treated with HFI against tumor cells is significantly enhanced. HFI iS effective in mediating ADCC and the activity of HFI-induced ADCC is correlated with the degrees of erbB2 expression on the tumor cells.
