METHODS: FasL and B7-1 genes were transfected into human SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells with adenovirus vectors. The positive clones were selected by G418. FasL and B7-1 genes were detected by flow cytometry and RT-PCR. Abdominal infiltrating lymphocytes and sensitized spleen cells were obtained from mice that were immunized with SGC-7901/FB-11 or wild type SGC-7901 cells intraperitoneally, and cytotoxicity of these CTLs against tumor cells was determined by MTT assay. RESULTS: Flow cytometry and RT-PCR showed that FasL and B7-1 genes were highly expressed. FasL and B7-1 transfected cancer cells had a high apoptosis index. DNA laddering suggested that FasL and B7-1 genes induced gastric cancer cell apoptosis. FasL+/B7-1+SGC-7901 cells (SGC-7901/FB-11) were inoculated subcutaneously in the dorsal skin of C57BL/6 mice and then decreased their tumorigenicity greatly (z = 2.15-46.10, P＜0.01). SGC- 7901/FB-11 cell-sensitized mice obtained protective immune activity against the rechallenge of wild type SGC 7901 cells (z = 2.06-44.30, P＜0.05). The cytotoxicity of CTLs induced by SGC-7901/FB-11 cells against SGC-7901 was significantly higher than that of CTLs activated by wild-type SGC-7901 cells (84.1±2.4% vs30.5±2.3%,P＜0.05).CONCLUSION: FasL and B7-1 genes can effectively promote the activity of CTLs against gastric cancer cells. FasL/B7-1 molecules play an important role in CTL cytotoxicity.展开更多

Methods： By using gene cloning technique, eukaxyotic expression vector pEGFP-C1 was used to construct the murine B7-1 recombinant plasmid （pEGFP-C1/B7）. Recombinant plasmid was transfected into LM8 cells with liposome and was confirmed by restriction endonuclease digestion and DNA sequencing. The expression of the fusion protein was detected using fluorescence microscope and Western blot analysis. Results： The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-C1/B7 was successfully constructed, which was confirmed by DNA sequencing, RT-PGR and restriction enzymes analysis. The green fluorescent protein could be detected in the transfected LM8 with fluorescence microscope. The expected B7-1 and green fluorescent protein （GFP） fusion protein was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Conclusion： The eukaryotic expression vector containing B7-1/GFP gene was constructed successfully, and it could be expressed in LM8 after transfection.展开更多

Methods: The EL-4 lymphoma was transduced with recombinant retrovirus containing the murine GM-CSF gene or B7-1 gene. The effect of gene transduction on antitumor immunity was investigated. Results: Flow cytometry analysis showed that expression of their surface marker between wild-type EL-4 cells and gene transduced tumor cells was the same except for CD80 positive in B7-1 gene transduced cells. GM-CSF gene or B7-1 gene transduced EL-4 cells resulted in remarkable loss of tumorigenicity in syngenetic mice. The systemic protective immunity was induced against the challenge with EL-4/wt cells. Therapeutic vaccine with EL-4/GM-CSF or EL/7-1 cells could retard the growth of established early-stage EL-4/wt tumor significantly, but not retard the growth of late-stage EL-4/wt tumor. Irradiated GM-CSF gene transduced EL-4 cells showed strong vaccine effect against EL-4 cell challenge, but irradiated B7-1 gene transduced EL-4 cells showed weak vaccine effect. Remarkable cooperative antitumor effect against EL-4 cell challenge was observed when both irradiated EL-4/GM-CSF and EL-4/B7-1 were inoculated together. Conclusion: GM-CSF gene or B7-1 gene transduced BL-4 cells can be used as a good tumor vaccine. The combination of the two kinds of vaccine may have potential application value in human cancer treatment.展开更多

Methods: The recombinant retrovirus vectors expressing B7-1/B7-2 were constructed by gene cloning technology to produce retrovirus-infected PE501 and PA317 cell lines and murine hepatoma Hepal-6. The expression of R7-l/B7-2 was detected by fluorescence activated cell soning analysis (FACS). B7-l/B7-2 positive Hepal-6 Cell lines were used in inducing anti-hepatoma immunity in ho and in the. Results: In contrast to the excessive growth of parental Hemal-6 tumor, the growth of B7-l/B7-2-positive Hepal-6 inoculated into syngenic mice regressed. B7-1/R7-2-positive or cytokine-treated Hepal-6 alone could only induce mild cytototicity; in contrast, B7-1/B7-2-positive Hemal-6 treated with cytokine-stimulated spleen cells and activated the cytotoxicity effectively. Immunity in mice with R7-1/B7-2-positive tumor cells or cytokine-beated Hepal-6 only provided partial protection against parental Hepa1-6 tumor, whereas pretreatment of the transfected tumor cells with IFN-r and TNF-a induced complete immunity protection in vivo. Mice receiving inoculation of cytokine-treated B7-l/R7-2-positive Hemal-6 cells presented regression of the establoshed pental tUmor and survived for more than l00 d, while those untreated mice died within 40 d. Conclu sions: B7-l/R7-2 expression is necessary but not sufficient in inducing anti-hepatoma immune response, whereas it is efficient when combined with the beatment of IFN-γ and TNF-a.展开更多
