Effect of tumor antigen specific CTL induced by dendritic cells on a model of human hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice (LCI-D20)

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the cure effect of tumor antigen specific CTL on a model of human hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice LCI-D20. METHODS: Dendritic cells (DCs) were induced from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy people in vitro by using recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (rhIL-4) and were pulsed with tumor antigen from hepatocellular carcinoma cell line MHCC97H. Then tumor antigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) were induced. By intraperitoneal injection of tumour antigen specific CTLs into the LCI-D20, the preventive and therapeutic effects of these CTLs to HCC in the LCI-D20 model were assessed. Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells and phosphate buffer solution were used as controls at the same time. RESULTS: The weights of tumors in the tumor antigen specific CTL group, in the CIK cell group and in the blank group were (1.11+/-0.63), (1.12+/-0.36) and (2.68+/-0.53) grams respectively (t = 5.18, t = 6.06, P < 0.01). The amount of blood alpha fetal protein in the tumor antigen specific CTL and CIK groups were (52.1+/-9.7) microg/L and (48.6+/-5.2) microg/L, and was (82.2+/-7.2) microg/L in the blank group (t = 17.26, t = 22.07, P < 0.01 respectively). The metastasis rates in livers were 16.7%, 16.7% and 58.3% in the tumor antigen specific CTL, CIK cell and blank control groups respectively (chi2= 4.44, P < 0.01). The survival time of the mice in the tumor antigen specific CTL group was (79.0+/-5.02) days, (73.3+/-7.0) days in the CIK group, and (52.3+/-5.2) days in the blank group (t = 14.56, t = 17.54, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Tumor antigen specific CTLs may prevent metastasis in the LCI-D20 model and prolong the survival time.
