HSP70-Id复合物修饰的树突状细胞体外诱导特异性抗肿瘤作用

目的观察人慢性B淋巴细胞性白血病（B-CLL）细胞的独特型抗原Id-ScFv与热休克蛋白70（HSP70）形成复合物修饰的树突状细胞（DC）体外诱导特异性抗肿瘤作用,并初步探讨其机制。方法将HSP70与Id-ScFv体外结合形成复合物HSP70-Id,修饰自人外周血单核细胞获取的DC。倒置相差显微镜观察DC的形态特征;流式细胞仪检测修饰前后DC的表型变化,酶联免疫吸咐试验（ELISA）检测DC分泌的白细胞介素12（IL-12）和肿瘤坏死因子-α（TNF-α）,四甲基偶氮唑蓝（MTT）法检测修饰的DC对自身淋巴细胞的激活和增殖作用,流式细胞仪检测激活的自身淋巴细胞T细胞亚群的变化,台盼蓝染色法检测其对Daudi、K562和HepG2等细胞的杀伤作用。结果DC体外诱导培养成功,HSP70-Id复合物可使DC成熟,镜下可见典型的DC形态,其CD1a表达率为20％-30％,CD83表达率〉72％,CD86和HLA-DR表达显著增加（P〈0．05）,上清中IL-12、TNF-α亦显著高于DC对照组（P〈0．01）。HSP70-Id复合物修饰的DC激活自身淋巴细胞,对Daudi细胞的杀伤率为71．24％,而对K562细胞杀伤作用较弱,对HepG2细胞无明显作用。其淋巴细胞亚群中,CD4^＋T细胞、CD8^＋T细胞的比例均显著增加,分别为56．51％和70．21％,CD4^＋T细胞／CD8^＋T细胞比值由空白对照组的1．49倒置为0．81。结论HSP70-Id复合物修饰的DC生物学活性增强,经其刺激后,传代培养的淋巴细胞可产生高效而特异性的抗肿瘤免疫效应,可能是CD4^＋T细胞、CD8^＋T细胞及DC协同作用的结果。

In vitro anti-tumor effect of CTL induced by HSP70-Id complex-modified dendritic cells

OBJECTIVE: To prepare the tumor antigen peptide complex (HSP70-1d) of HSP70 and idiotype (Id) from SmIg ScFv fragment in patients with Chronic B cell leukemia (B-CLL), and to study the anti-tumor effect of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) induced by HSP70-Id complex-modified dendritic cell (DC) in vitro and explore their immune mechanism. METHODS: Purified HSP70 was combined into peptide complex (HSP70-Id) with the prepared Id-ScFv from B-CLL cells in vitro by using biochemical technique. The plastic-adherent monocytes from human peripheral blood were cultured and induced into DC with rhGM-CSF and rhIL-4 using cell culture and separation technique. The cultured DC were harvested and pulsed by HSP70-Id complex. DC morphology was observed under converted phase microscope and its phenotype was characterized by FCM on 8th day as well as their secreting cytokines were measured. Host lymphocytes were stimulated by DC loaded with HSP70-Id complex and co-cultured in the medium containing IL-2. The activation and proliferation of lymphocytes were examined by MTr test, which was also used to assay cytotoxicity of CTL elicited by modified DC to Daudi, K562 and HepG2 tumor cells, and FCM analyzed the changes of T lymphocyte subsets. RESULTS: Mature DCs were obtained successfully, showing typical morphology and phenotypic properties, the expression ratio of cellular surface molecules, CD1a was 20% - 30%, CD83 was more than 72% , both CD86 and HLA-DR over-expressed obviously in the complex-loaded DC group secreting cytokines of Thl type, IL-12 and TNF-alpha. The culturing lymphocytes that were activated by modified DC could more effectively and specifically kill Daudi (71. 24%), but not K562 and HepG2 tumor cells. Results of FCM assay demonstrated that percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes cocultured with complex-modified DC increased notably to 56.51% and 70.21%, respectively. CD4+ T/ CD8+ T proportion was changed from 1.49 to 0.81. The dose of peptide would be reduced to 1/50 if specific CTL induced by complex-modified DC instead of directly by peptide complex. CONCLUSION: DCs modified by HSP70-Id complex exhibit powerful biological activities, and could induce CTL to specific cytotoxicity against carcinoma cells. It might be produced by cooperation of CD4+ T, CD8+ T lymphocytes and DC. The results also suggested that DC modified by HSP70-Id complex can present antigen and induce CTL with high efficacy and specificity.
