AIM:To investigate the biological characteristics of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cellsin vitro.METHODS:The non-adhere peripheral blood monoclear cells from healthy donors were induced into CIK cells in the presence of IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2 and anti-CD3 antibody. LAK (lymphokine activated killer) cells were prepared as a control. The cellular phenotype were detected by FCM and immunocytochemistry and the cytotoxicity was measured by LDH release assay.RESULTS:After 2 weeks of induction, the proliferation rate of CIK cells reached a peak and the proportion of CD3+ population was above 95%, and then the cells growth entered to plateau phase at week 3. The proportion of CD3+CD56+ NKT subset cells was 16.5% on day 15 and it had no obvious variety between 2 and 4 weeks. Correspondingly, LAK cells grew slowly and had lower proliferation rate compared with the CIK cells (P<0.01). CIK cells showed higher specific lysis rates to BeL-7402 hepatoma cells than those of LAK cells at different effector to target ratio (P<0.01). Immunocytochemical staining showed the CIK cells highly co-expressed HLA-DR and CD54 antigens. The NKT cells were slightly bigger than CD3+CD56- cells and a large quantity of pseudopodia were observed on their surface.CONCLUSION:The CIK cells have higher proliferation potency and stronger cytotoxicity to lyse tumor cells than LAK cellsin vitro.Within the span of time from 14 to 21 days, the proliferation rate and the proportion of CD3+CD56+ subset of CIK cells all reach peaks. Therefore, CIK cells in this period are suitable for clinical application.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the efficacy of dendritic cells (DCs) that augments the cytotoxic activity of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, natural killer (NK) cells from a same donor and the CD45RO expression on CIK cells. METHODS: The expanded killer cells were divided into two groups: group A was pre-cocultured with DCs for 6 days, group B was the control that without any stimulation. Cytotoxicity of CIK and NK cells was measured at different effect-target ratio against K562 and HL-60. CD45RO and CD45RA expression on CIK cells in different groups were detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Cytotoxicity of CB derived killer cells was positive correlation with effect-target ratio. The cytotoxicity of group A against HL-60 was higher than that of group B significantly. At 20∶1 effector-target ratio, the lytic activity of group A CIK, NK cells against K562 was higher than that of group B significantly, but no significant difference between them at 10∶1 effector-target ratio. The CD45RO expression on CIK cells in groups A was significantly higher than that in groups B. CONCLUSION: CIK and NK cells cocultured with DCs can augment the killer's cytotoxicity against tumor cells and promote the CD45RO expression on CIK cells.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of subtotal splenectomy on the expression of CD4+、CD8+ and tuftsin in cirrhosic rats with portal hypertension (PHT) . METHODS:Rats liver cirrhosis was induced by subcutaneous injection of 40% CCl4. Fifty rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=10). Group A:control rats;group B:PHT rats;group C:normal rats with total splenectomy;group D:PHT with total splenectomy and group E:PHT with subtotal splenectimy. The hepatic function, the expression of CD4+, CD8+, the ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ and tuftsin were analyzed at the fourth week after treatment. RESULTS:The expression of tuftsin ,the ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ was significantly decreased in PHT rats with total splenectomy compared with PHT rats ［（171±21） ng/L vs （433±44）ng/L,P<0.01;(2.01±0.22 vs 1.12±0.12),P<0.01］. In the group of PHT rats with subtotal splenectomy, the expression of tuftsin, the ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ was higher than those in the PHT rats with total splenectomy ［（434±42） ng/L vs （171±21） ng/L,P<0.01;（1.97±0.18 vs 1.12±0.12,P<0.01］, however, the hepatic function was not show difference（P>0.05）. CONCLUSION:Spleen and immune function is significantly improved in PHT rats after subtotal splenectomy, but the hepatic function is not changed significantly.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of mifepristone on natural killer(NK) subpopulations of peripheral blood and decidua in early pregnancy. METHODS: Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD56 and CD16 on lymphocytes of decidua and peripheral blood in early pregnancy, mifepristone-treated pregnancy. RESULTS: The percentages of different natural killer subsets in peripheral blood between early pregnancy and mifepristone-treated pregnancy were almost identical. The serum levels of estradiol and progesterone in mifepristone-treated pregnancy were slightly higher than in early pregnancy. The percentage of decidual CD56+NK cell in early pregnancy was significantly higher than in mifepristone-treated pregnancy. The CD56+NK cells were predominant lymphocyte population of decidua in mifepristone-treated pregnancy, but in which the CD56+CD16+ and CD16+NK cells were major lymphocyte subpopulations of peripheral blood. CONCLUSION: Mifepristone acted principally on feto-maternal interface, it blocked the proliferation and differentiation of decidual CD56+NK cells and induced embryo immune rejection.  相似文献

AIM: To determinate the percentage change on natural killer(NK) subsets of peripheral blood and decidua in between normal early pregnancy and spontaneous abortion. METHODS: Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD56 and CD16 on lymphocytes of decidua and peripheral blood in normal early pregnancy and spontaneous abortion. RESULTS: In peripheral blood, the percentage of CD56+ of spontaneous abortion tended to decrease in comparison with normal early pregnancy, and the percentage of CD56+CD16+ in spontaneous abortion was significantly less than that in normal early pregnancy. The percentages of different natural killer subsets in decidua of spontaneous abortion were significantly lower than those in decidua of normal early pregnancy. CONCLUSION: The decrease of CD56+NK cells in decidua may be one of causes for abortion, the loss of CD56+ and CD56+CD16+NKcells in peripheral blood could have a diagnostic value for spontaneous abortion.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the pattern of Th1/Th2 balance in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) patients and the relationship between CD28/CTLA-4(cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4) molecule expression and Th1/Th2 balance.METHODS: Eighteen SLE patients met the ARA 1997 updated SLE criteria were selected in the study. According to Bombardier's SLEDAI criteria, all patients were classified into two groups: active group(12 cases) and static group(6 cases). Fourteen normal individuals, matched for age and sex of the patients, served as controls. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and cultured in RPMI-1640 culture medium. After treated with PMA(5 μg/L) and ionomycin(500 μg/L) for 72 h, the PBMCs were collected, the contents of IFN-γ and IL-10 in the supernatant of cultured PBMCs were detected using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The expression of CD28 and CTLA-4 molecules on T cells were detected by flow cytometric technique with double staining by FITC or PE labeled monoclonal antibodies. RESULTS: The level of IL-10 was higher in the PBMCs of active and static SLE patients(351.29 ng/L±153.31 ng/L and 319.37 ng/L±153.39 ng/L) than that in controls(254.48 ng/L±120.69 ng/L), but the difference did not reach statistical significance(P>0.05). The level of IFN-γ was significantly lower in the PBMCs of active SLE patients(25.76 ng/L±16.09 ng/L) than that in controls(50.71 ng/L±27.92 ng/L, P＜0.05). The ratio of IL-10/IFN-γ was significantly higher in active SLE patients(18.74±13.77) than that in controls(6.66±4.95, P<0.05). Either before or after culture, the expression of CD28 molecule on CD3+and CD8+ T cells from all SLE patients was not remarkably different from that in the cells of controls. Before culture, the expression of CTLA-4 molecule on CD3+T cells of active SLE patients(0.79%+0.37%) was significantly lower than that in the cells of controls(1.31%+0.61%, P<0.05). After culture, the expression of CTLA-4 molecule on CD3+ T cells of SLE patients was still lower than that in the cells of normal controls without statistical significance(P＞0.05).The expression level of CD28 molecule on CD3+ or CD8+ T cells in active SLE patients and controls was not correlated with the levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 in the supernatants(P＞0.05). The level of CTLA-4 molecule expression on CD3+ T cells of active SLE patients was positively correlated with IFN-γ level(r=0.681, P<0.05), while was negatively correlated with IL-10 levels(r=-0.624,P＜0.05) and the ratio of IL-10/IFN-γ(r=-0.738, P<0.01). The level of CTLA-4 molecule expression on CD3+ or CD8+ T cells of controls showed no correlation with IFN-γ levels, while showed negative correlations with IL-10 level(r=-0.587, P<0.05; r=-0.563, P<0.05, respectively).CONCLUSION: There is a bias in the differentiation of Th0 cells towards Th2 in SLE patients. CTLA-4 probably plays an important role in this mechanism through suppressing the signal transmitted by CD28.  相似文献

AIM:The expression of CD28, CD56 and CD57 on CD8+T cells in the peripheral blood of young (age range 20-35) and elderly(age range 60-75) healthy donors were compared to explore the change of the cellular immune function with aging.METHODS:Three-color fluorescent flow cytometry was performed to analyze the differences in percentage of CD8+CD28+, CD8+CD56+ and CD8+CD57+T cells in the peripheral blood between the young and elderly groups.RESULTS:CD8+CD28+T cells in the peripheral blood of the elderly group was significantly lower than those in the young group, with percentage of 34.07±5.28 and 49.84±7.43,respectively (P＜0.05). Conversely, CD8+CD56+T cells and CD8+CD57+T cells in the peripheral blood of the elderly group were significantly higher than those in the young group, and the percentage was 6.60±2.40 vs 2.10±0.35,41.82±6.01 vs 22.89±2.80, respectively(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The expression of CD28, CD56 and CD57 on the CD8+T cells in the peripheral blood are changed significantly with aging. The decrease in CD28 expression may play an important role in the immunosenescence, while the increase in CD56 and CD57 expression seems to be a compensatory adaptation for the immune dysfunction.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the proliferation of CD4+CD25+ T cells from PBMCs of the gastric cancer patients and the inhibitory effect on CD4+CD25- T cells in vitro. METHODS:Magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) method was used to separate CD4+CD25+T and CD4+CD25-T cells from peripheral blood monocytic lymphocytes in the gastric cancer patients, and then the purity and activity of CD4+CD25+T cells were analyzed with flow cytometer. After stimulated with anti-CD3 Ab, anti-CD28 Ab and rh IL-2, CD4+CD25- and CD4+CD25+ T cells were cocultured. The inhibitory effect of CD4+CD25+T on CD4+CD25-T cells was assayed by ［3H］ thymidine proliferation experiment. RESULTS:(1)After sorting, CD4+CD25+ T cells purity in healthy control and gastric cancer patients were 83.80%±1.84% and 84.13%±2.77%, respectively. No significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) was observed. (2)The activity of CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25- T cells in healthy control and the gastric cancer patients after sorting were 98.52%±0.72% and 97.80%±0.95%. There was no significantly difference between the two groups (P>0.05). (3) CD4+CD25+ T cells obviously inhibited the CD4+CD25-T cell proliferation in vitro. The inhibition achieved to maximum in coculture of CD4+CD25+ T cells together with CD4+CD25- T cells (ratio of 1∶〖KG-*2〗1). CONCLUSION:The MACS system can effectively isolate CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25- T cells. After sorting, CD4+CD25+T cells obviously inhibit the proliferation of CD4+CD25- T cells in vitro and the inhibitory effect display an effect-target ratio relationship.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect and mechanism of Foxp3-transduced CD4+CD25-T cells on the cytotoxicity of NK cells. METHODS: Retroviral Foxp3 gene transfection was applied to nave CD4+CD25-T cells. Fresh transduced CD4+Foxp3+ T cells were co-cultured with NK cells. ［51Cr］ labeled YAC-1 cells were used to detect NK cells cytotoxicity. The anti-TGF-β antibody was added into the co-culture system to detect the TGF-β blocking effect. Also the transwell co-culture system was used to investigate the regulatory effect of Treg cells on NK cells. RESULTS: One week after transduction, 38.0% of Foxp3-transduced T cells showed GFP expression by flow cytometry. Foxp3-transduced CD4+CD25-T cells suppressed function of NK cells. The inhibition rates of Foxp3 transduced CD4+CD25- T cells were 42.9% at 24 h and 22.7% at 48 h. When anti-TGF-β antibody was added to the co-culture system, the inhibition rate of CD4+Foxp3+ T cells was 3.2% and 2.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION: CD4+Foxp3+ T cells significantly inhibit the cytolytic function of NK cells. TGF-β plays different roles on this action in different inhibition systems. The inhibitory effect of Treg cells on NK cells is cell-to-cell contact dependent and associates with TGF-β expression.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the fraction of CD4+CD28-T cells and its correlation with lymphocytic apoptosis in peripheral blood of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.METHODS: The RA patients and age-matched health controls were selected in the study. The lymphocytes were isolated from peripheral blood. CD4+ T cells without CD28 expression (CD4+ CD28-) were analyzed by flow cytometry. The incidence of apoptosis in the cells cultured with or without PHA for 24 h was determined by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI di-staining. The correlation between the fraction of CD4+CD28-T cells and lymphocytic apoptosis was also observed.RESULTS: The fraction of CD4+CD28-T cells was significantly higher in RA group than that in healthy control group (7.79%±3.52% vs 1.89%±1.78%, P<0.05). The apoptotic level in PHA cultured lymphocytes was significantly lower in RA group than that in healthy controls (11.38%±5.73% vs 19.46%±6.32％, P<0.05). Spearman analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between the fraction of CD4+CD28-T cells and apoptotic level of activated lymphocytes (r=-0.433,P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The increased CD4+CD28-T cells contribute to prolong the lifespan of activated lymphocytes in peripheral blood of RA patients, and the persistence of activated lymphocytes may contribute to the pathogenesis of RA.  相似文献

AIM: To address whether the analysis of CD45+CD86+ cells isolated from para-aortic lymph nodes (PLNs) is valuable in assessment of the status of local immunity at the feto-maternal interface. METHODS: CBA/J×DBA/2, virgin CBA/J, and CBA/J×BALB/c mice were used as an abortion-prone model (group A), non-pregnant controls (group N), and fertile controls (group F), respectively. The percentage of CD45+CD86+ cell in the CD45+ cell group (CD45+CD86+ percentage for short) and the absolute number of these cells were determined with flow cytometry (FCM), using mononuclear cells isolated from PLNs collected on day 5.5, 9.5, and 13.5 of gestation, respectively, and mononuclear cells from placentas on day 13.5 of gestation. To clarify the identity of these CD86+ cells, FCM was also performed with CD3, CD19 and DX5 as markers for T cells, B cells, and NK cells, respectively. RESULTS: Both resorption rate and absolute number of resorption were significantly higher in group A (29.3%, 1.8±1.0) than those in group F (4.8%, 0.3±0.5, P<0.01, respectively). Similarly, both cell percentage and absolute number of CD45+CD86+ cells in PLNs collected on day 13.5 of gestation were significantly higher in group A than that in group F (27.5%±14.0% vs 12.3%±7.1%, and 1 362±687 vs 615±353, P<0.01, respectively). The CD45+CD86+ percentage was around 7.5% in virgin CBA/J mice, similar to the 10.6% in CBA/J×DBA/2 mice on day 5.5 of gestation, but increased dramatically to 23.9% by day 9.5 (P<0.01 vs virgin mice and P<0.05 vs CBA/J×DBA/2 mice on day 5.5), and remained at a higher level (27.5%) until day 13.5. However, this trend was not observed in group F during pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: The increased CD45+CD86+ percentage on day 9.5, when resorption begins, may support the assumption that CD45+CD86+ cells play a role in the course of embryo resorption. Lymphocyte phenotypic analysis in the lymph nodes that drain the pregnant uterus may be helpful to assess the status of local immunity at the feto-maternal interface.  相似文献

AIM: To evaluate the recent and long-term efficacy of cytokine-induced killer(CIK) cell and transfusion plus chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin(GP) for patients of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) with hepatic or pulmonary metastasis.METHODS: From Aug. 2007 to Jul. 2008, 30 patients of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with hepatic or pulmonary metastasis were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into 3 groups. Ten patients(CIK+GP group) received CIK cell transfusion plus GP chemotherapy for 4 cycles. Another 10 patients(GP group)received the regimen of GP chemotherapy alone. The other 10 patients as well as 10 healthy volunteers did not receive any anti-cancer treatment. The early response, the changes of serum EBV-DNA by quantitative PCR detection and distribution of lympholeukocyte subset in the patients of the 3 groups were determined before and after treatment. The long-term effects were observed in a follow-up process of 2 years. RESULTS: The recent complete and partial response(CR+PR) rates were 90%, 70% and 10% in CIK+GP group, GP group and patient control group, respectively, and obviously statistical differences among these 3 groups were observed. The proportion of CD3+ lymphocytes in NPC patients with hepatic or pulmonary metastasis were obviously lower than that in healthy volunteer. It also descended after CIK+GP/GP therapy, but partly recovered in CIK+GP group. Furthermore, no statistical difference of CD4+/CD8+ ratio among NPC patients with hepatic or pulmonary metastasis and volunteers was found. The ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in CIK+GP group increased, but decreased in GP group after treatment. In the 2-year follow-up, the overall survival rate was 60.0%, 40.0% and 20.0% in CIK+GP, GP and control group,respectively. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed statistical difference. CONCLUSION: The recent and long-term effects of CIK cell transfusion combined with GP chemotherapy for patients of NPC with hepatic or pulmonary metastasis have been confirmed. The chemotherapy and biotherapy of CIK+GP improve the prognosis with synergistic effects, possibly owing to the changed proportion of CD3+and ratio of CD4+/CD8+.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the sequence expression of CD158 molecule after tacrolimus (FK506), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) combined with methylprednisone (MP) treatment for refractory chronic graft-versus-host diseases (cGVHD). METHODS: The efficacy and the side effect were observed in 6 child patients with extensive cGVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation treated with the combination of FK506, MMF and MP, meanwhile the changes of the CD158 expressions on T lymphocytes and NK cells in peripheral blood before and after treatment were observed. RESULTS: The expression of CD4+CD158a+ and CD4+CD158b+ were very low before and after transplantation and treatment, there was no statistical significance. The expression of CD3+CD158b+ and CD3+CD8+CD158b+ were 4.97%±2.36% and 4.58%±2.90% respectively in five patients with acute GVHD, and there was statistical significance compared with that of before-transplantation (P＜0.05). The expression of CD3-CD16+CD158b+ was also higher than that of before transplantation (P＜0.05). In the six patients with chronic GVHD, the expressions of CD3+CD158b+ and CD3+CD8+CD158b+ were higher than those of before transplantation (P＜0.05), and decreased gradually after the effective combined treatment, there was statistical significance (P＜0.05) compared with those during the time of cGVHD, but were still higher than that before transplantation. The expression of CD3-CD16+CD158b+ decreased at the late stage after transplantation and was closed to the level of before-transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: The increase in expression of CD158b on T cells might be related to cGVHD. The combined immunosuppression with FK506, MMF and MP is feasible for the treatment of cGVHD. The possible mechanism of the combined immunosuppression with FK506, MMF and MP may be the down-regulation of CD158 expression on T lymphocytes and NK cells.  相似文献

AIM:To study the effect of proliferating cell nucler antigen antisense oligonucleotide on ex vivo expansion of cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. METHODS:CD34+ cells were purified from fresh cord blood by immunomagnetic beads. CD34+ cells were incubated in liquid culture system with different concentrations of PCNA-ASODN. Using flow cytometry, the number of different kinds of stem/progenitor cells and PCNA expression were measured after CD34+ cell incubation. RESULTS:PCNA was lowly expressed in low experiential group, with a positive rate of (27.2±3.6)% and (19.0±1.5)%, the positive rate of control group was (53.8±8.3)% (P<0.01), a high significant difference was observed. Just in low concentration of PCNA-ASODN, the percentage of CD34+cells were increased to (33.4±3.2)%, CD34+CD38-cells expanded (57.8±9.9) folds, and the percentage of CD34+cells were (25.2±2.6)% (P<0.01), the CD34+CD38-cells expanded (43.5±7.4) folds (P<0.05), it has significant difference compared with the control group. CONCLUSION:Low concentration of PCNA-ASODN decreases PCNA expression effectively, slows down differentiation of CD34+cells during ex vivo expansion procedure, and improves the expansion efficiency.  相似文献

AIM：To investigate the expression of NKG2A,NKG2D and their ligands in pregnancy uterine micro-environment and to probe the function of NKG2A and NKG2D imbalance expression during the immunotolerance at the fetal-maternal boundary.METHODS：Decidual lymphocytes and peripheral lymphocytes were obtained from 30 women during 6-9 weeks of pregnancy who were undergoing selective termination.FACS technology was used to detect NK cells number and NKG2A,NKG2D expression.RT-PCR was used to investigate HLA-E and MICA mRNA in trophoblast tissue.RESULTS：Natural killer cells predominate,accounting for 70% of pregnancy endometrial lymphocytes.FACS results indicated that NKG2A was significantly increased in decidual NK cells as compared with that in peripheral NK cells,accounting for 97.86%±1.75% and 33.35%±10.92%.The difference between them in NKG2A expression was significant (P<0.05).Although the levels of NKG2D in decidual NK cells were similar to that in peripheral NK cells,accounting for 93.21%±4.52% and 97.80%±1.72%,respectively,the difference between them in NKG2A expression was also significant (P<0.05).At the same time,we found HLA-E mRNA in the trophoblast tissue.There was no proof yet on the expression of NKG2D ligand-MICA on trophoblast.CONCLUSIONS：Natural killer cells are the predominant lymphocytes during the first trimester of decidual tissue.These cells have a great different antigenic phenotype with peripheral natural killer cells.Decidual natural killer cells have high expression of NKG2A and trophoblast tissue expressed HLA-E.This may be an important factor contributing to the immunotolerance at the fetal - maternal boundary during pregnancy.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the effect of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) on donor’s dendritic cell （DC）subsets in peripheral blood cells (PBC). METHODS: The subsets of dendritic cells in PBC were analyzed by CD34-Lin- HLA-DR+ cells and the levels of IL-12p40, IL-10, IFN-γ, IL-4 in the serum were tested by ELISA before (25 cases) or after G-CSF mobiling. The relationship between the ratio of DC1/DC2 (CD11c+CD123-/CD11c-CD123+) and CD34+/MNC was explored. RESULTS: CD34+/MNC in PBC harvests was above 0.4% in 23 cases, and the ratio of DC1/DC2 was lower, the HLA-DR expression of DC2 was enhanced after G-CSF mobiling than before, but the levels of IL-12p40, IL-10, IFN-γ, IL-4 in donors serum and CD83 expression of DC2 were not changed by G-CSF. CONCLUSION: DC2 increased accompanied by the increase in CD34+ cells in the PBC harvests. Although the expression of HLA-DR in DC2 was up-regulated by G-CSF, these DC2 did not regulate Th2 cells to excrete inhibitor cell factors and kept on the precursor characters.  相似文献

AIM: To isolate, purify and differentiate endothelial progenitor cells from cord blood in vitro and to study their biological characteristics. METHODS: CD133+ cells were selected from fresh cord blood mononuclear cells (MNC) by magnetic activated cell-sorting system (MACS). EPC was studied by flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence staining. Isolated cells were cultured in IMDM medium supplemented with or without VEGF, bFGF, SCF. RESULTS: The percentage of CD133+ cells of cord blood MNC was (1.41±1.14)%, and purity was 75%-85% (FACS method). CD133+ cells were grown on fibronectin-coated chamber slides in the presence of VEGF, bFGF, SCF. Within 1-2 hours of culture cells became adherent. On day 7-10, the adherent cells displayed a typical “cobblestone” morphology. After 14 days of culture, the adherent cells revealed a heterogeneous cell population, comprising small-sized round cells, spindle-like cells and formed tube-like structure. Weibel-Palade bodies were shown on the transmission electron microscopy photomicrographs. Compared with the original, cell markers CD133 and CD34 decreased significantly (77.0%±3.3% to 1.6%±2.2% and 93.1%±4.7% to 37.4%±4.9%, P<0.05), while Flk-1 increased significantly (from 22.3%±3.3% to 94.3%±4.1%, P<0.05) after 14 days of culture with VEGF, bFGF, SCF. The vWF was strongly expressed (77.9%±3.3%) on the 14th day later. CONCLUSION: Vascular endothelial progenitor cells were isolated from cord blood with specific expression of CD133/CD34/Flk-1. With the stimulation of the growth factors, seven-ten days after culture EPCs could be turned to endothelial cells.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of AT-2-inactivated HIV-1 particles on human CD4+T cell activation and cytokine secretion in whole blood (WB) in vitro. METHODS: HIV-1ⅢB particles were inactivated by AT-2 chemical and the concentration of p24 antigen was determined by p24 ELISA. AT-2-inactivated HIV-1ⅢB particles were added to human WB culture system in serial concentrations to stimulate the cells. PHA was used as positive control. After 24 h, all the cultural supernatants were harvested and the concentrations of Th1 (IL-2, IFN-γ and TNF-α) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10) cytokines released to the supernatants were detected by cytometric bead array (CBA). The percentage of CD69 expression on CD4+T cells from WB was detected by immuno-fluorescence staining plus flow cytometry. RESULTS: The concentration of p24 antigen in the AT-2-inactivated specimen was 85.5 μg/L. 24 h later, the percentage of CD69 expression on CD4+T cells from control group was (1.62±0.63) %, whereas it was (38.82±6.00)%, (3.83±1.07)%, (5.94±0.85)% and (9.30±1.22)% in PHA group, HIV-1 (1/500) group, HIV-1 (1/50) group and HIV-1 (1/5) group, respectively. Cytokines secreted by WB in control group were mainly TNF-α and IL-6. However, all the six cytokines tested were strikingly increased in PHA group, as well as in HIV-1ⅢB groups. CONCLUSION: AT-2-inactivated HIV-1ⅢB particles activate CD4+T cells from WB, and up-regulate both Th1 and Th2 cytokine secretion in WB. Besides the effects of viral proteins, other mechanisms may be proposed that HIV-1 particles act as antigen presenting cell (APC) because many host-derived immune molecules are incorporated into HIV-1 envelop when it is released from infected cells by budding, and exert immune modulation.  相似文献
