Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying lymphocyte functionassociated antigen-1 (LFA-1) / intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) mediated anti-neoplastic effects of cytokine induced killer (CIK) cells. Methods Lymphocytes isolated from peripheral blood of children leukemia were induced with interferon-gamma (IFN-y), anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (CD3McAb) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) and co-cultured with dendrite cells (DC) to generate DC-CIK cells. When treated with LFA-1 monoclonal antibody, cytotoxicity of DC-CIK cells against leukemia cell lines was measured by the MTT assay, while RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to determine mRNA and protein expressions of GATA-3 and T-bet in DC-CIK cells, respectively. IL-12, IFN-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels released by DC-CIK cells were quantified by ELISA. Results Induced DC-CIK cells were regular, round and transparent with variable cell volume and cellular aggregation. When treated with mouse anti-human LFA-1 monoclonal antibody, the cytotoxicity decreased mostly towards B95 cells under administration of 20 μg/ml LFA-1 monoclonal antibody in comparison with the control group(t =10.138, P <0.05). It led to a highest elevation of GATA-3 mRNA and protein levels (t =16.386, P < 0.05; t =22.652, P < 0.05) and a most decrease of T-bet mRNA and protein levels (t =17.728, P <0.05; t =17.452, P <0.05) under 20 μg/ml LFA-1 monoclonal antibody in B95 cells group in comparison with the control group. The expression levels of IL-12,IFN-γ, and TNF-o in supernatant were the lowest under 20 μg/ml LFA-1 monoclonal antibody in B95 cells group in comparison with the control group (t =21.621, P <0.05; t =13.739, P <0.05; t =15.278, P <0.05).Conclusion GATA-3 and T-bet were implicated in the LFA-1/ICAM-1 mediated anti-neoplastic effects of DC-CIK cells via activation of the Th1 pathway, with high secretion of Th1 cytokines, such as IL-12, IFN-γ and TNF-α.
