  • Effect of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Decoy Oligodeoxynucleotides Transfection on Biological Characteristics of Mature Dendritic Cells in Mice

    Objective To investigate the effects of nuclear factor kappa B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides ( NF-κB decoy ODN) transfection on biological characteristics of mature dendritic cells ( mDCs) in mice. Methods Immature DCs were harvested from Balb / c mice bone marrow, followed by the incubation with antigen OVA and LPS, and mature DCs were evaluated by the expressions of CD11c and MHC-Ⅱ detected by FACS. Mature DCs were transfected with NF-κB decoy ODN and the changes of NF-κB activity after the transfection were detected by EMSA. The expressions of the costimulatory molecules( CD40,CD80 and CD86) on DCs were detected by FACS and the proliferation of T cells was tested by mixed lymphocyte reaction( MLR) . Results The mature DCs were cultured successfully. The NF-κB activity of NF-κB decoy ODN transfected DCs was decreased significantly( P lt; 0. 05) . There was no difference in the expressions of CD40 and CD80, but the expression of CD86 was decreased significantly in NF-κB decoy ODN transfection group( P lt; 0. 05) . MLR test showed that the proliferation of T lymphocyte cells was inhibited by NF-κB decoy ODN transfected DCs, but was stimulated bly by the DCs of other groups. Conclusions Mature DCs transfected with NF-κB decoy ODN could inhibit the proliferation and activation of antigenspecical T cells, which was probably related to the down-regulation of CD86 on DCs. This modified DCs might be a promising vaccine for the treatment of asthma in the future.

    Objective To explore the effect of dendritic cells (DCs) allergized by K-ras mutant peptide on expressions of chemokines CCL19, CCL22, and cytoskeletal protein fascin-1. Methods DCs were derived from peripheral blood in the presence of granuloceyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor, interleukin (IL) -4 in vitro. The DCs were collected on day 7 after culture, and were divided into non-K-ras mutant peptide group (addition of RPMI 1604 culture solution 50 μg/ml) and K-ras mutant peptide group (addition of K-ras mutant peptide 50 μg/ml). Phenotype was identified by flow cytometry. The morphological structure was observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopies, respectively. The expressions of IL-12, CCL19, and CCL22 were tested continuously by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of cytoskeletal protein fascin-1 was determined by Western blot. Results ①The expressions of CD1a, CD80, and CD86 after loading K-ras mutant peptide were higher than that before loading K-ras mutant peptide (Plt;0.01). ②The DCs with petal-like and branch-like profections after loading were observed under scanning electron microscopy; The DCs with irregular shapes, branch-like or burr-like were showed under transmission electron microscopy. ③The expressions of IL-12, CCL19, and CCL22 in the Kras mutant peptide group were higher than those in the non-K-ras mutant peptide group at different times (6, 12, 24, and 48 h) after loading Kras mutant peptide (Plt;0.01). ④The expression of fascin-1 in the K-ras mutant peptide group was also higher than that in the non-K-ras mutant peptide group (Plt;0.01). Conclusion K-ras mutant peptide can promote DC to mature and improve the expression of chemokines and cytoskeletal protein which will strengthen DC migration.

  • Interleukin-10 Inhibiting the Activation of Dendritic Cells from Chronic Severe Hepatitis B Patients

    ObjectiveTo study the function of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in inhibiting the activation of dendritic cells (DC) in chronic severe hepatitis B patients. MethodsMonocytes were isolated from peripheral blood of 16 chronic severe hepatitis B patients between March and September 2012, by ficoll-hypaque density gradient centrifugation and then cultured with plastic-adherence method. Dendritic cells were induced and proliferated from the monocytes with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor and interleukin-4 for 8 days. Hepatitis B virus core antigen and IL-10 were used to the DC culture to treat DC. The expression of surface marker on dendritic cells was detected by fluorescence-activated cell sorter. The cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity, as well as the interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-12p70 secretion were observed. ResultsThe ratio of CD83, HLA-DR and CD86 positive cells, the concentration of IFN-γ and IL-12p70, as well as the cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity by dendritic cells were significantly increased in hepatitis B virus core antigen treated group and decreased in the IL-10 treated group compared with that in the control group. Meanwhile, the ratio of CD83, HLA-DR and CD86 positive cells, the concentration of IFN-γ and IL-12p70, as well as the cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity by dendritic cells were significantly decreased in IL-10 pretreated plus Hepatitis B virus core antigen treated group compared with that in the hepatitis B virus core antigen treated group. These results indicated that the hepatitis B virus core antigen could induce dendritic cells activation, and IL-10 could inhibit the activation of dendritic cells, even the Hepatitis B virus core antigen being added afterwards. ConclusionIL-10 can inhibit the activation of dendritic cells, and attenuate the cytotoxicity of autologous lymphocytes induced by DC.

  • Dendritic CellsOverloaded Antigens Injected Intratracheally Induce Lung Inflammation

    Objective To investigate the feasibility of dendritic cells ( DCs ) as vector of immunotherapy through intratracheal injection. Methods The DCs obtained from the bone marrow of BALB/ c mice were cultured and isolated with CD11c-positive magnetic beads. Then DCs were overloaded with ovalbumin peptide 323-339 ( OVA 323-339) for 24 hours. The mice in the DC-OVA group were intratrachelly injected DCs overloaded with OVA 323-339 in dose of 2 ×106 cells per mouse. The mice in thenegative control group were intratracheally injected with DCs untreated by OVA 323-339. On the second day,all mice were challenged with 1% OVA in PBS lasting for five days. The asthma animal model established by classic method was used for the positive control. Pathologic changes in lung and cell numbers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) were assayed 24 hours after challenged. Results Just like the lung tissues from the mice asthma models, the lung tissues from the mice instilled with DCs overloaded with allergen OVA 323-339 showed extensive inflammatory cells infiltration, most of which were eosinophils, neutrophils and lymphocytes. The lung tissues in the DC group showed no obvious inflammation. There were more cells in BALF in the DC-OVA group than that in the DC group. OVA-specific IgE in serum from the DC-OVA group was not significantly different from that in the mice asthma models [ ( 48. 22 ±4. 76) U/mL vs. ( 52. 75 ±4. 03) U/mL, P gt;0. 05] . Conclusion DCs overloaded antigen has the ability of transferring of antigen effectively and may be used as vectors of immunotherapy.
