Effect of DC-CIK cell on the proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation of leukemia cells

摘要

Objective:To observe the effect of co-culture cytokine-induced killer cells(CIK) and homologous dendritic cells(DC) on the proliferative activity and phenotype change of theDC-CIK cell and the cell killing activity of leukemiaHL-60.Methods:50 mL cord blood sample was obtained from infants delivered by full term healthy woman and the cord blood mononuclear cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation.Non-adherent cells were collectedfor the induction culture ofCIK, adherent cells were differentiated into matureDC; cultured matureDC was mixed with andCIK in the proportion of1:5 for12 d.Killing activity ofDC-CIK co-cultured cell on leukemiaHL-60 was detected byMTT assay.Results:Compared withCIKs, the co-culturedDC-CIKs presented a markedly higher proliferation and killing activity.Conclusions:Co-culture ofDC-CIK cells led to a significant increase of the proliferation and cytotoxicity of CIK.
