[摘 要] 目的:评价肿瘤特异性个体化多靶点树突状细胞-细胞因子诱导的杀伤细胞(DC-CIK)治疗晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的临床疗效和安全性。方法:回顾性分析2019年10月1日至2022年10月31日东部战区总医院生物治疗科行肿瘤特异性个体化多靶点DC-CIK治疗晚期NSCLC患者的临床资料。统计NSCLC患者的临床疗效和不良反应,分析治疗前后血清中肿瘤标志物的变化,FCM检测患者治疗前后的淋巴细胞亚群和各种细胞因子的表达情况,用质谱仪检测治疗前后靶点的变化。结果: 共入组52例晚期NSCLC患者,其中女性21例、男性31例;年龄32~71岁,平均年龄(50.97±10.72)岁,中位年龄47.5岁。经DC-CIK治疗后,CR 0例,PR 0例,SD 27例,PD 25例。与治疗前比较,DC-CIK治疗后:(1)CEA和CYFRA21-1水平无显著改变,CA125水平显著低于治疗前(P<0.01);(2)治疗后患者淋巴细胞亚群无显著变化;(3)治疗后患者外周血IL-2、IL-4、IFN-γ和TNF-α水平显著升高(均P<0.01),IL-6、IL-10及IL-17水平无明显变化;(4)治疗后靶点数下降明显。DC-CIK治疗过程中无严重不良反应发生。结论: 晚期NSCLC患者行肿瘤特异性个体化多靶点自体DC-CIK治疗是安全的,能使患者产生抗肿瘤免疫反应并得到一定的临床获益。

[Abstract] Objective:To detect the expression of transcription factor FOXP4 (Forkhead box P4) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) tissues and cell lines, and to investigate its effects on the proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle, and apoptosis of LSCC TU177 cells in vitro as well as to explore its relationship with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Methods: A total of 40 pairs of tumor tissues and adjacent tissues that resected from LSCC patients were collected from the biological specimen bank of the Forth Hospital of Hebei Medical University between 2013 and 2015. The expression of FOXP4 in LSCC tissues and corresponding adjacent tissues was detected by qPCR. qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect the FOXP4 expression level in human LSCC cell lines (AMC-HN-8, TU177, TU686, and TU212). Small interfering RNA (si-RNA) was used to knock down FOXP4 expression in TU177 cells. The effects of FOXP4 knockdown on the proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle and apoptosis of TU177 cells were measured by MTS assay, clone formation assay, Transwell chamber migration and invasion assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. The mRNA levels of EMT markers N-cadherin, β-catenin, Vimentin, Twist, Snail and zine finger E box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) after transfection of si-FOXP4 in TU177 cells were detected by qPCR. The changes of protein levels of N-cadherin, β-catenin, Vimentin and Twist after FOXP4 knockdown were measured by Western blotting. Results: The expression of FOXP4 in LSCC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.05), and it was related to the TNM stage of tumors and lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). The expression of FOXP4 in LSCC cells was higher than that in the adjacent tissues (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expression of FOXP4 in TU177 cells transfected with si-FOXP4 was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, knocking down FOXP4 could inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion but promote the apoptosis of TU177 cells in vitro (all P<0.01), block the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase (P<0.01), and reduce cell replication in S phase (P<0.01); in addition, knocking down FOXP4 could reduce the mRNA levels of N-cadherin, β-catenin, Vimentin, Twist, Snail, ZEB1 (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and the protein levels of N-cadherin, β-catenin, Vimentin, Twist in TU177 cells. Conclusion: The high expression of FOXP4 may be related to the occurrence and development of LSCC. FOXP4 knockdown can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of laryngeal cancer cells in vitro, block cell cycle at G0/G1 phase, promote apoptosis, and may participate in the EMT process.
