Abstract: | AIM:To explore the immunotherapeutic effect of adriamycin (ADM) combined with frozen-thawed antigen-sensitized dendritic cells (DCs) on cervical tumor-bearing mice. METHODS:The U14 cervical cancer model of Kunming mice was established by subcutaneous implantion of U14 cells in axillary fossa. DCs vaccine was prepared by U14 cervical cancer cell frozen-thawed antigen-sensitized mouse bone marrow-derived DCs. Mature phenotype of sensitized DCs was identified by flow cytometry. Tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 4 groups and treated for 3 cycles with PBS (control), DCs vaccine, ADM and ADM combined with DCs vaccine, respectively. The tumor volume was evaluated. The tumor weight and the levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-12 and interferon γ (IFN-γ) in the serum were determined by ELISA on the 21st day. RESULTS:Cancer cell frozen-thawed antigen-sensitized DCs had higher expression levels of CD11C, CD80 and CD86. The volume and weight of the tumor in ADM combined with DCs vaccine group were less than those in ADM group, DCs vaccine group and control group. The tumor inhibitory rate in combination group was higher than that in the other 3 groups. Compared with the other 3 groups, the serum levels of IL-2, IL-12 and IFN-γ in combination group significantly increased. CONCLUSION:ADM combined with tumor antigen-sensitized DCs vaccine can strengthen the animal antitumor immune response and effectively inhibit the growth of tumor in cervical tumor-bearing mice. |
