体外诱导扩增大鼠树突状细胞及其特性鉴定

In vitro induction and expansion of dendritic cells from rat bone marrow and their characterization

目的: 体外诱导和扩增大鼠骨髓树突状细胞 (DC)的方法, 并进行生物学特性鉴定。方法: 将大鼠骨髓细胞培养 48h后, 去除悬浮细胞, 加入IL- 4和GM- CSF培养 2wk。在光镜和透射电镜下观察培养的DC的形态学特征。应用流式细胞仪检测DC表面分子MHC-Ⅱ类分子、B7 -1、B7- 2的表达水平。将DC与同种异体T细胞混合培养, 采用MTT比色法测定不同细胞密度的DC刺激同种T细胞增殖的能力。结果: 培养的DC胞浆突起大而长, 呈树突状, 具有DC的典型形态。培养 2wk的DC表面MHC -Ⅱ类分子表达的阳性率为 74. 2%, B7- 1、B7 -2分别为 81%、76%。培养的DC具有明显刺激同种异体T细胞增殖的能力。结论: 将大鼠骨髓细胞经贴壁去除悬浮的细胞, 加入IL -4和GM -CSF培养, 可获得足量、较高纯度的DC, 为研究DC的功能奠定了基础。

AIM: To induce and expand dendritic cells (DC) from rat bone marrow in vitro and identify their biological characterization. METHODS: The rat bone marrow cells were collected and cultured for 48 hours and the floating cells were removed. Then IL-4 and GM-CSF were added into the fresh medium. After 2 weeks, the morphological character of the cultured DCs was observated under light microscope and transmission electron microscope. Expressions of MHC class Ⅱ molecule, B7-1 and B7-2 were detected by flow cytometry. The cultured DCs were co-cultured with allogenic T cells derived from rat spleen. T cell proliferation was measured by MTT colorimetry. RESULTS: The cultured DCs had the typical morphological characterization of DC, and the expression rates of MHC class Ⅱ molecule, B7-1 and B7-2 were 74.2%, 81% and 76% respectively. The cultured DCs could notably stimulate the proliferation of allogeneic T cells. CONCLUSION: The adherent culture of rat bone marrow cells, removal floating cells and co-culture with IL-4 and GM-CSF can obtain a number of high purity of DCs, which lay the foundation for study on DC’s function.
