The methods of neutral red uptake, ordinary light microscopy, electron microscopy, TDT mediated X-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) were used. Results The difference between the D group and the B group was not distinct (P>0.05). The difference between the LD group and the L group was distinct， with DCs+LPAK >LPAK (P<0.01) in cytotoxity. Apoptotic cells were TUNEL positive in light microscopy, and apoptotic nuclei were stained yellow brown and dark brown, with size and shape varying from cell to cell. Ultrastructural change in apoptotic tumor cells comprised of compaction and condensation of nuclear chromatin， and condensation of cytoplasm and apoptotic bodies. At the same time, LPAK cells manifested the characteristics of autophagic apoptosis, and there were some autophagic bodies in it. Conclusions The combination of human blood DCs and LPAK cells could induce apoptosis of BEL-7402 cells effectively, with some LPAK cells manifesting the characteristics of autophagic apoptosis.展开更多

YSL, at doses of 80 μg·kg?1·d?1, 160 μg·kg?1·d?1 and 320 μg·kg?1·d?1 significantly inhibited the growth of the human hepatocarcinoma BEL-7402 tumor in nude mice, producing inhibition of 21.66%, 41.34%, and 34.78%, respectively. Ultra structure of BEL-7402 tumor in nude mice showed that YSL could induce tumor cells apoptosis and necrosis, cell organelle mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum damage, and calcium over-load. By confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry, we found that 10 μg/mL YSL rapidly induced an increase of the concentration of cytoplasmic free calcium in BEL-7402 cells in vitro, and maintained high concentrations of cytoplasmic free calcium for 1 h. Then the calcium concentration began to decrease after 2 h, and was lower than that of the control group at 4 h and 24 h (p<0.05). YSL also decreased the mitochondrial transmembrane potential of BEL-7402 cells in vitro, but had no effect on the calcium homeostasis or mitochondrial transmembrane potential of Chang liver hepatocytes. So affecting calcium homeostasis, then inducing apoptosis and necrosis may be a mechanism by which YSL inhibits the tumor growth in animal model.展开更多
