Objective:To study the cytotoxic effects on three glioma cell lines U343, U138, U373 induced by anti-human DR5/DR4 monoclonal antibodies(FMU1.5/FMU1.4) and the underlying mechanism.Methods:Expression of DR4/DR5 was quantitated by flow cytometry and DR/4DR5 mRNA detected by RT-PCR. Cytotoxicity exerted by FMU1.4/FMU1.5 on three cell lines was measured by MTT colorimetry and the induced apoptosis was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis, DNA ploidy analysis was studied by flow cytometry.Results:The expression of DR5 on U343 cells was higher and the expression of DR4 on U373 cells was lower. Cell line U343 was sensitive to FMU1.5 and in a dose dependent manner, but it was partially sensitive to FMU1.4; Cell line U138 was partially sensitive to FMU1.5 and resistant to FMU1.4; Cell line U373 was insensitive to two antibodies.Conclusion:Apoptosis induced by monoclonal antibodie FMU1.4/FMU1.5 vary among three cell lines.

Objective:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a single-chain antibody against death receptor 5 (ZF1) on tumor growth and survival in murine H22 hepatocellular carcinoma tumor model.Methods:Killing effect of ZF1 on H22 cells was analyzed by MTT assay in vitro. The apoptosis rate of H22 cells induced by ZF1 was detected using Flow Cytometry assay. The transplanted model of H22 tumor was developed in mice. The mice were randomly divided into four groups, PBS group, ZF1 group, EPI group and combined treatment group of ZF1/EPI. Tumor growth and body weight changes were observed. After treatment over 13 days, the tumor tissue for HE staining and TUNNEL assay was performed to detect apoptosis.Results:The results showed that ZF1 could inhibit growth of H22 cells in a dose dependent manner. The growth inhibition rate was up to 84.5%. The results showed that ZF1 alone or in combination with ZF1/EPI, the tumor growth was significantly inhibited. HE staining and TUNNEL analysis showed that ZF1 could effectively induce apoptosis of tumor cells without toxic effects, especially in ZF1/EPI combined treatment group.Conclusion:It is showed that ZF1 induces a good inhibition on the proliferation of H22 cell, especially in combined treatment group of ZF1/EPI.
