抗原冲击致敏树突状细胞诱导特异性CTL杀伤Jurkat细胞实验研究

本研究以健康人外周血单核细胞为前体细胞，体外诱导其为树突状细胞（DC），分别负载Jurkat细胞冻融抗原及WT1多肽抗原，产生特异性细胞毒性T淋巴细胞（CTL），以探讨其对白血病Jurkat细胞的杀伤作用。联合应用rhGM—CSF、rhIL-4、rhTNF-α及rhsCD40L等细胞因子，密度梯度离心法、贴壁法从外周血获取单核细胞并进行诱导扩增，培养出DC，分别用冻融抗原及WT1多肽抗原冲击致敏DC。实验分4组：冻融抗原致敏DC组为实验组A，WT1多肽致敏DC组为实验组B，未致敏DC组为对照组A，单核细胞组为对照组B，观察CTL对Jurkat细胞的杀伤作用。结果表明：培养出了具有典型特征的DC，它高表达CD40、CD80、CD1a及CD86等表面标志，能体外诱导强烈的同种异基因混合淋巴细胞增殖反应。实验组显示高水平杀伤率，与对照组比较均具有统计学意义（P〈0.01），实验组A、B间比较无统计学意义。结论：Jurkat细胞冻融抗原及WT1多肽抗原冲击致敏DC能有效诱导T细胞抗白血病作用，为临床研制DC疫苗提供了实验依据。

Antigen-loaded Dendritic Cells Trigger Killing Effects of Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes on Jurkat Cells In Vitro

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of tumor antigen-loaded dendritic cells (DC) stimulating the specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) on Jurkat cells in vitro. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation from normal human heparinized blood, the adherent monocytes were cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-4 (IL-4), alpha tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and sCD40L, DCs were co-cultured with frozen-thawed antigen of Jurkat cells or WT1 peptides, and then T cells were triggered into specific CTL. The results showed that most suspended cells exhibited distinctive morphological features of DC which expressed CD40 (96%), CD86 (97%), CD80 (77%), CD1a (69%), and gained the powerful capacity to stimulate proliferation of allogeneic lymphocytes. Under the effector: target ratio of 20:1, CTLs derived from cultures with DC and frozen-thawed antigen of Jurkat cells showed 91.1% cytotoxicity against Jurkat cells, CTL derived from cultures with DC and WT1 peptides showed 87.5% cytotoxicity against Jurkat cells, cytotoxicity of CTL derived from cultures with unloaded DC against Jurkat cells was 42.1% and cytotoxicity of monocytes was 22.7%. Cytotoxicity of CTL derived from culture with frozen-thawed antigen or WT1 peptides loaded DC was stronger than that in control groups (P < 0.01). It is concluded that the tumor antigen-pulsed DC can induce efficient and specific anti-tumor immunity, may play a great role in clinical therapy for leukemia.
