In addition to kill tumor cells through direct cytotoxicity, the immunomodulatory activity is another facet of chemotherapy. The major molecular mechanisms of immunogenicity of cytotoxic drugs are elimination of CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ regulatory T cells or Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells, and sensitization of tumor cells to immune effectors through modulation of death receptor expression. These studies provide scientific evidence for combinatorial treatments including vaccines and Traditional Chinese Medicine for cancer therapy.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of ATP on cultured human stomach carcinoma MGC-803 cells. After ATP(0.16—0.23 mg/ml, 24—120 hrs)treatment, inhibition of cell growth rate was observed. The inhibition rate reached 80% after 96 hr exposure to ATP. At the same time, anti-tubulin immunofluorescent staining showed increase of organized microtubules (MT) in ATP-treated MGC-803 cells, in contrast with the poor MT immunofluorescence in control MGC-803 cells. By using rhodamie phalloidin combined staining, increased number of actin bundles, took the place of actin dots and patches which were seen in control MGC-803 cells. Immunofluorescent staining of fibronectin in ATP-treated MGC-803 cells was also increased evidently as compared with the control MGC-803 cells. Concomitant with the improvement of MT and stress fiber organization, the cell Concohas become more flattened. It appeared that the increase of MT and stress fibers was closely related to the recovery of cell morphology in ATP treated tumor cells. It is therefore concluded that ATP not only may inhibit tumor cell proliferation, but also may induce differentiation of cell morphology of tumor cells through its action on cytoskeletal structures.
