热休克蛋白对树突状细胞成熟的影响研究

目的:探讨热休克蛋白(HSP)对树突状细胞(DCs)成熟的影响,同时对其形态学动态变化进行研究。方法:从肝癌组织中提取HSP(gp96 )抗原肽复合物;肝癌细胞进行热休克处理诱导其表面表达HSP,再用DiI荧光标记;将两种HSP与DCs混合培养,动态观察DCs捕获抗原和成熟过程中的形态学变化。流式细胞仪检测不同情况下热休克蛋白对DCs成熟表型的影响。结果:使用DiI标记的方法良好地显示了DCs摄取抗原的形态学变化;DCs通过直接接触、包绕、形成囊泡和伸出伪足且末端形成囊泡4种方式摄取抗原;热休克蛋白可促进DCs成熟表型的表达。结论:DiI是适合DCs形态学研究的良好的荧光标记物;DCs捕获抗原有4种不同方式;不同热休克蛋白均可促进DCs成熟,但提取的热休克蛋白作用更显著。

Effect of heat shock protein on dendritic cell maturation

AIM: To study the effect of heat shock protein (HSP) on the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and observe the morphological changes of DCs dynamically. METHODS: The HSP (gp96)-peptide complex was purified from the tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatoma cells were treated by heat shock for preparation of the HSP expressed on cell surface and then marked with DiI fluorescence. Immature DCs from peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cocultured with two types of HSPs. The morphological changes of DCs were observed dynamically and the effects of HSPs on the maturation of DCs analyzed by Flowcytometer. RESULTS: The morphological changes and the processes of antigen capture of DCs cocultured with DiI marked tumor cells were well showed. Four ways to capture antigens of DCs were observed, including direct contact, besieging, forming bubbles and extending pseudopodia with bubbles on the terminals. Results also indicated that both types of HSP could promote the maturation of DCs. CONCLUSION: DiI is a good fluorescent dye suitable for the morphological studies of DCs. Four ways for DCs to capture antigens were indicated in this paper. Different types of HSP, purifed from tumor tissues or expressed on tumor cells surface, promote DC maturation, and the purified HSP is more effective.
