BACKGROUND: Maintenance and activation of cascade reaction influence T cell proliferation or transformation into nonreactive state even apoptosis. B7 binding to CD28 effectively activates T cells in combination with T cell receptor pathway, and enhances T cell proliferative activity. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the costimulated activation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with CD28 and CpG containing oligodeoxynucleotides (CpGODN) MoAb combined with CD80, and its killing effect on human gastric cancerous cell line MKN45 in vitro.METHODS: PBMCs were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation method, and cocultured with interleukin-2, CD28 and CpGODN MoAb for 1-5 days. MKN45 cells were divided into 4 culture conditions: CD28/CpGODN, CD80 plus CD28/CpG ODN, CD80 alone, and blank control.The killing efficiency was measured by MTT method.The ultramicrostructure of cells was observed by electron microscope. Apoptosis was verified by a flow cytometery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: CD80 alone did not display killing effect on MKN45 cells. By MTT method, combination of costimulated activation of PBMC with CD28/CpGODN and CD80 showed enhanced killing effect compared with single therapy (P < 0.05), and the ratio of effector cell and target cell at 15: 1 resulted in half killing efficiency. Electron microscope and flow cytometery verified necrotic or apoptotic cells after 24 hours exposure to costimulated activation. Compared with blank control group, CD80 alone elevated the apoptosis rate of MKN45 cells (P < 0.01). Results from the present study show that CD80 can elevate the killing effect of costimulated activation of PBMC with CD28/CpGODN on MKN45 cells in vitro.

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the clinical value of pro-gastrin releasing peptide (ProGRP) , squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (Cyfra21-1) and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) in the diagnosis and clinical stage of lung cancer in Chinese patients.Methods Patients with lung cancer and benign lesions confirmed by pathology were enrolled in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2013 to October 2014.The serum levels of four tumor markers (ProGRP, SCC-Ag, Cyfra21-1 and CEA) were measured using immunoassays before treatment.The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC) of these four tumor biomarkers were analyzed for the diagnosis of lung cancer.Results A total of 134 patients were finally analyzed, including 73 patients with lung cancer and the other 61 patients with benign lung disease.The diagnostic sensitivity of serum Cyfra21-1 to lung cancer was 67.1％, the specificity 45.1％, the AUCROC 0.658.The diagnostic sensitivity of the panel including ProGPR, Cyfra21-1 and CEA to lung cancer was 75.3％ , the specificity 57.4％ , the AUCROC 0.702.In the lung cancer group, the AUCROC of ProGRP over 65 ng/L to diagnose small cell lung cancer was 0.954;the AUCROC of SCC-Ag over 1.5 μg/L to diagnose squamous cell lung cancer was 0.788;the AUCROC of Cyfra21-1 to diagnose non-squamous-non-small-cell lung cancer was 0.716.In small cell lung cancer patients, the level of ProGRP in limited-disease small cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC) were significantly higher than that in extensive-disease small cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC) (P =0.005).Conclusion This panel of serum tumor markers including ProGRP, Cyfra21-1 and CEA improves the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity in patients with high-risk lung cancer.The serum CEA level of advanced lung cancer patients is significantly increased.The high level of serum ProGRP predicts the ED-SCLC.
