چکیده
OBJECTIVE To investigate the antitumor activity of ex vivo-expanded γδ-T cells derived from tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes(γδTILs) from cervical cancer patients when combined with galectin-1 antibody and studied both in vitro and in vivo. METHODS The presence of γδTILs in cervical cancer specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry and γδTILs were expanded using the solid-phase antibody method. The expression of galectin-1 by the human cervical cancer cell line, SiHa, was measured by Western blot and ELISA. In vitro cytotoxic activities of expanded γδTILs, with or without galectin-1 inhibitor, were determined using the LDH-release test. In vivo antitumor activity of γδTILs, combined with galectin-1 antibody, was evaluated using the SCID mouse model. RESULTS γδTILs existed in the cervical cancer and the percentage of TCRγδ(+) cells in γδTILs after ex vivo expansion was 91.2±1.2% detected by flow cytometry. SiHa cell expressed and secreted galectin-1 as measured by Western blot and ELISA. Expanded γδTILs from human cervical cancer demonstrated marked cytotoxicity to SiHa or Hela cells. In comparison with non-treated group, the cytotoxicity of γδ TILs towards SiHa or Hela cell was significantly increased when effector and target cells were incubated with either lactose or galectin-1 antibody at E/T ratio of 1:1 (p < 0.05). γδTILs, in combination with galectin-1 antibody treatment, significantly suppressed the growth of xenografts in SCID mice, in comparison with all other groups (p < 0.05). γδTILs alone also showed the ability to inhibit tumour growth in vivo, but were more efficient when combined with specific antibody (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Taken together, our results suggest that γδ-T cells, combined with galectin-1 antibody treatment, could be a more effective adoptive immunotherapy for patients with cervical cancer than traditional adoptive immunotherapy methods.

Novel bispecific antibodies increase γδ T-cell cytotoxicity against pancreatic cancer cells.
The ability of human γδ T cells from healthy donors to kill pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in vitro and in vivo in immunocompromised mice requires the addition of γδ T-cell-stimulating antigens. In this study, we demonstrate that γδ T cells isolated from patients with PDAC tumor infiltrates lyse pancreatic tumor cells after selective stimulation with phosphorylated antigens. We determi...

متن کاملSynergy between liposomal zoledronic acid and γδ T-cells in the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer
gδ T-cells contribute importantly to tumor immunosurveillance and are activated by phosphoantigen intermediates of the mevalonate pathway that are commonly over-produced in cancer cells. To potentiate this, phosphoantigen levels can be boosted using zoledronic acid (ZA). However, in vivo delivery of ZA to the tumour is inefficient owing to its poor pharmacokinetic properties. Here, we set out t...

Arteether Exerts Antitumor Activity and Reduces CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T-reg Cells in Vivo
Background: Chemo-immunotherapy is one of the new achievements for treatment of cancer, by which the success of anti-cancer therapy can be increased. In vitro studies have been shown that Arteether (ARE) induces apoptosis in tumor cells, but not in normal cells. Objective: To investigate the cytotoxic and immunomodulatory properties of Arteether in-vivo and in-vitro. Methods: In this study, we ...
