目的:应用逆转录病毒构建IL-12、B7-1表达载体,以研究基因修饰的肿瘤细胞的癌疫苗作用。方法:将两种表达载体分别转染EL-4胸腺瘤细胞,使该细胞能表达分泌B7-1或IL-12,并研究了该基因导入细胞的抗肿瘤免疫效果。结果:当接种了EL-4/IL-12转染细胞后,在C57BL/6同系鼠中其基因导入细胞的肿瘤原性比较EL-4/Wt和EL-4/Neo组明显减少(P<0.01),在EL-4/IL-12组的肿瘤被排斥后,实验动物体内诱发了抗EL-4/Wt的全身性、保护性免疫,用51Cr释放测定法证明有一个较强的抗EL-4/Wt和一个较弱的抗同系Lewis肿瘤细胞的CTL活性,体内淋巴细胞消除分析的结果提示减少的肿瘤原性主要与CD4+、CD8+和NK细胞有关。用EL-4/IL-12基因转染的瘤细胞进行疫苗治疗比较用EL-4/Neo瘤细胞作疫苗治疗能更加有效地延缓已建立的EL-4/Wt肿瘤的生长(P<0.005),EL-4/IL-12和EL-4/B7-1基因联合转染组比用单一的转基因细胞增强了治疗效果(P<0.005)。结论:研究结果提示应用IL-12进行血液肿瘤的治疗是有效的,IL-12和B7-1联合使用在未来人类癌症的治疗中有一定的应用前景。
OBJECTIVE: To construct IL-12 and B7-1 expression vectors using retroviruses to study the role of cancer vaccines in genetically modified tumor cells. METHODS: Two kinds of expression vectors were transfected into EL-4 thymoma cells respectively, so that the cells could express and secrete B7-1 or IL-12, and the anti-tumor immunity effect of the gene into the cells was studied. RESULTS: After inoculation of EL-4/IL-12 transfected cells, the tumorigenicity of the gene-introduced cells in C57BL/6 syngeneic mice was significantly reduced compared to the EL-4/Wt and EL-4/Neo groups (P< 0.01). After the tumor in the EL-4/IL-12 group was rejected, the experimental animals induced systemic and protective immunity against EL-4/Wt. The 51Cr release assay proved to be a strong one. Anti-EL-4/Wt and a weaker CTL activity against syngeneic Lewis tumor cells, the results of in vivo lymphocyte depletion assays suggest that reduced tumorgenicity is mainly associated with CD4+, CD8+, and NK cells. Vaccine treatment with tumor cells transfected with the EL-4/IL-12 gene was more effective in delaying the growth of established EL-4/Wt tumors compared with vaccines treated with EL-4/Neo tumor cells (P<0. 005) The combined treatment of EL-4/IL-12 and EL-4/B7-1 genes enhanced the therapeutic effect compared with single transgenic cells (P < 0.005). Conclusion: The results suggest that the use of IL-12 for the treatment of hematological neoplasms is effective, and the combined use of IL-12 and B7-1 has a certain application prospect in the treatment of future human cancers.
