目的:观察米托蒽醌(mitoxantrone,MIT)对黑素瘤B16细胞钙网蛋白(calreticulin, CRT)表达的影响,探讨高表达CRT的B16细胞膜抗原疫苗的免疫效果及其机制。方法:不同剂量MIT处理B16细胞,免疫荧光法检测B16细胞CRT的表达。以B16细胞建立小鼠荷瘤模型,用不同剂量的MIT治疗荷瘤小鼠,观察MIT对黑素瘤生长及肿瘤组织中CRT表达的影响。制备B16细胞膜蛋白和MIT处理后B16细胞膜蛋白作为疫苗分别免疫小鼠,免疫组化检测小鼠移植瘤组织内免疫细胞的浸润情况,流式细胞术检测荷瘤小鼠脾脏中CD4+、CD8+T细胞比例的变化。结果:MIT可剂量依赖性地上调B16细胞表面CRT的表达,对照组B16细胞表面CRT为(29.40±3.57)%,高剂量MIT处理组为(72.20±2.94)%(P<0.05);MIT促进移植瘤组织中CRT的表达,对照组为(3.21±1.37),高剂量MIT组为(9.17±106)(P<0.05)。MIT有效抑制小鼠黑素瘤的生长(P<0.05,P<0.01)。与B16细胞膜蛋白疫苗相比,高表达CRT的MITB16细胞膜蛋白疫苗可明显上调小鼠黑素移植瘤组织中的DCs和T细胞的数量,以及脾脏细胞中CD4+、CD8+T细胞的比例(P<0.05)。结论:MIT能够上调CRT在B16细胞表面的表达,高表达CRT的B16细胞膜蛋白疫苗能够提高肿瘤组织中浸润DCs和T细胞的数量,抑制黑素瘤的生长。

[Abstract]
Objective:To investigate the effect of mitoxantrone (MIT) on calreticulin (CRT) expression in B16 cells, and to observe the immune effect of B16membrane antigen vaccine highly expressing CRT on B16 tumorbearing mice. Methods:The expression of CRT on membrane of B16 cells was detected by immunofluorescence after treatment with different concentrations of MIT. B16implanted mouse model was established, and the growth of B16implanted tumors and CRT expression in B16implanted tumor tissues were observed after treatment with different concentrations of MIT. Membrane antigen vaccines from both normal B16 cells and MITtreated B16 cells were prepared, and mice were immunized before B16 cell implantation. The infiltration of immune cells into B16 tumor tissues and the ratios of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the spleen of B16 tumorbearing mice were examined by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, respectively. Results:Flow cytometry results showed that MIT dosedependently increased CRT expression on B16 cell membrane, with CRT expression in control and high dosage MIT groups being (29.40±3.57)% and (72.20±2.94)% (P<0.05), respectively. MIT also increased CRT expression in B16 tumor tissues, with those in the control and high dosage MIT groups being 3.21±1.37 and 9.17±1.06 (P<0.05), respectively. MIT effectively inhibited the growth of B16 tumors (P<0.05). Compared with normal B16 cell membrane antigen vaccine, the vaccine highly expressing CRT increased the numbers of DCs and T cells in B16 tumors tissues and the ratios of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the spleen (P<0.05). Conclusion:MIT can increase CRT expression on membrane of B16 cells. B16membrane antigen vaccine highly expressing CRT can enhance the infiltration of DCs and T cells in melanoma, thus improving the immune effect of B16membrane antigen vaccine.
