Objective:The aim of the study was to investigate whether dendritic cell (DC) precursors,recruited by injection of chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3),induce enhanced anti-tumor immunity after granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) transfection in mice ex vivo.Methods:The 615 mice were injected with CCL3 via the tail vein.Freshly isolated B220–CD11c+ cells were cultured with cytokines.For adenoviral (Ad)-mediated gene transduction,DCs were transferred AdGM-CSF gene at different ratios of multiplicity of infection (MOI) to determine the optimal gene transfection conditions,and detecting the expression of GM-CSF after transfection.The variation of GM-CSF gene-modified DCs were analyzed by morphological observation,phenotype analysis,and mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR).DCs were loaded with gastric cancer antigen obtained by frozen and thawed method.The stimulated DCs vaccination induced T lymphocytes,and the killing effect of T cells to gastric cancer cells was assayed by MTT.INF-γ production was determined with the INF-γ ELISA kit.Results:B220–CD11c+ cells numbers increased after CCL3 injection.ELISA results showed that after GM-CSF gene modification,DC could produce high level of GM-CSF.When DCs were transferred AdGM-CSF gene at MOI equal to 1:100,GM-CSF level in culture supeatants reached saturation [(130.00 ± 12.61) pg/mL].After GM-CSF gene-modification,DCs tended to more maturated through morphological observation and were phenotypically identical to typical DC and gained the capacity to stimulate allogeneic T cells.T lymphocytes stimulated with DC transduced with GM-CSF gene showed the specific killing effect on gastric carcinoma cells and produced high level of INF-γ [(1245.00 ± 13.75) pg/mL].Conclusion:CCL3-recruited DCs modified by adenovirus-transducted GM-CSF could produce high level of GM-CSF,which tended to more maturated,and the capacity of activating allogeneic T lymphocytes proliferation was enhanced greatly.Moreover,they could stimulate specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) to gastric cancer ex vivo.
