BACKGROUND:Application of dendritic cells (DC) for cancer immunotherapy involves tumor-associated immunogenic antigens for effective therapeutic strategies. The present study investigated whether DC co-cultured with autologous cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) could induce a more specific immune response against liver cancer stem cells (LCSC) generated from human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells in vitro and in vivo.METHODS:Human DC and CIK were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) taken from consenting liver cancer patients. Flow cytometry was used to determine the phenotypes of DC and CIK, and cell proliferation. The tumor growth and anti-tumor activity of these cells were further evaluated using a nude mouse tumor model.RESULTS:We demonstrated that DC and CIK significantly enhanced the apoptosis ratio, depending on DC-CIK cell numbers, by increasing caspase-3 protein expression and reducing proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein expression against LCSC. The in vivo data indicated that DC-CIK exhibited significant LCSC cell-induced tumor growth inhibition in nude mice, which was most significant with LCSC antigen loaded DCs.CONCLUSIONS:The results showed, that DC-CIK cells could inhibit HCC and LCSC growths in vitro and in vivo and the most successful DC triggering of cell cytotoxic activity could be achieved by their LCSC antigen loading.

Objective:To investigate the effects of DNAJ homolog subfamily B member 11 (DNAJB11)gene-silencing on proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC7721.Methods:The recombinant lentiviral vector pCDH-Puro/DNAJB11-shRNA carrying the specific shRNA targeting DNAJB11 gene was established.The SMMC7721 cells were infected with high infective lentivirus pCDH-Puro/DNAJB11-shRNA.Then the proliferation of SMMC7721 cells was detected by CCK-8 method.The expression levels of DNAJB11,proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and caspase-3 mRNAs and proteins in SMMC7721 cells were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blotting,respectively.The cell cycle distribution and the apoptosis rate of SMMC7721 cells were analyzed by FCM.Results:The pCDH-Puro/DNAJB11-shRNA was constructed successfully.The proliferation of SMMC7721 cells was significantly inhibited after infection with pCDH-Puro/DNAJB11-shRNA (P < 0.05).In SMMC7721 cells infected with pCDH-Puro/DNAJB11-shRNA,the expressions of DNAJB11 mRNA and protein were silenced effectively (both P < 0.05).After DNAJB11 gene-silencing,the expressions of caspase-3 mRNA and protein in SMMC7721 cells were up-regulated (both P < 0.05),while the expressions of PCNA mRNA and protein were down-regulated (both P < 0.05).Furthermore,the cell cycle was arrested in G1 phase (P < 0.01),and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased (P < 0.01).Conclusion:The DNAJB11 gene-silencing can effectively suppress the proliferation of SMMC7721 cells,and promote their apoptosis.These effects may be related to downregulation of PCNA expression and upregulation of caspase-3 expression in SMMC7721 cells.
Due to non-MHC-restricted and potent cytotoxicity against hematological malignancy, one group of heterogeneous effector T cells with diverse TCR specificities, cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells are considered as a promising therapeutic approach of leukemia. Recently, it has been found that IL-2/IL-15-activated CIK cells were superior to that of generated with IL-2 protocol, however, the underlying mechanism is not fully elucidated. In this study, we found that in IL-2/IL-15-stimulated CIK cells, autophagy was dramatically down-regulated. We produced recombinant lentivirus containing shRNA specific against Beclin 1. Upon knockdown of Beclin 1 in CIK cells, the cytotoxic activity was considerably promoted. Re-expression of Beclin 1 in Beclin 1-knockdown CIK cells compromised their cytotoxic function, confirming that autophagy decreased the cytotoxic function of CIK cells. 3-MA treatment of CIK cells also enhanced their cytotoxic activity, potentially providing possibility to widespread application. Collectively, our study demonstrates autophagy negatively regulates the cytotoxicity of CIK cells on tumor cells, providing a novel approach for promoting the therapeutic efficacy of CIK cells against hematological malignancy.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the prognosis of advanced liver cancer patients treated with CIK-DCs and the mechanism of apoptosis of HEPG 2 cells.METHODS67 patients were enrolled in the study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were separated, of which adherent PBMCs used granulocyte 2 macrophage colony2 stimulating factor (GM2CSF), tumor necrosis factor 2α (TNF2α), and interleukin 24 (IL24) to induce DCs, which were sensitized with antigen of autologous or exogenous cancer cells to obtain Ag-DCs; suspended PBMCs used interferon 2γ (IFN2γ), IL-2, and CD 3 monoclonal antibody (CD3mAb) respectively, to induce CIK cells. DCs and CIK cells were cultured together. Flow cytometry was used to detect the phenotypes of DCs and CIK cells, and the blood retransfused into patients. Western blot and flow cytometer were used to analyze the growth cycle of HepG 2 cells and the expression of BAX and PCNA.RESULTSNo patients underwent complete remission, 5 obtained partial remission and 29 had stable disease. Of the 31 patients whose lesions could not be evaluated, 17 received effective treatment, showing that the immune response was enhanced. In vitro laboratory experiments revealed that DC-CIK cells markedly affected the growth cycle of HepG 2 cells. Analysis showed that DC-CIK cells enhanced the gene expression of BAX and inhibited the activity of PCNA.CONCLUSIONSCo-cultured DCs and CIK cells inhibit the proliferation and migration of liver cancer cells by down-regulating PCNA and up-regulating BAX. This approach may be an effective method to treat advanced liver cancer.
