Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This study aims to evaluate if cord blood stem cells (CBSCs) can be new source of dendritic cells (DCs) which can generate more potent antigen-specific immune responses and anti-tumor effects. The CBSCs and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected, cultured and differentiated into DCs. Surface markers, secreting cytokines, antigen presentation activity, antigen-specific cell-mediated immunity and cytotoxic killing effects induced by these two origins of DCs were evaluated and compared. The CBSCs expanded for ~17-fold by ex vivo culture. The expressions of surface markers in CBSC-derived DCs were higher than those in PBMC-derived DCs treated with LPS. The CBSC-derived DCs mainly secreted IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-a, while PBMC-derived DCs mainly secreted IL-5 and IFN-γ. The CBSC-derived DCs had better antigen presentation abilities when stimulated with LPS or TNF-a, induced higher numbers of IFN-g-secreting, antigen-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes by ELLIspot assay, and stimulated stronger antigen-specific CTL activities (p<0.01, one-way ANOVA). The CBSC-derived DCs showed quicker and stronger ERK and Akt phosphorylation, and weaker p38 phosphorylation than PBMC-derived DCs when stimulated with LPS. The CBSC-derived DCs have abilities of inducing stronger antigen-specific immunity and more potent anti-tumor effects. The CBSCs can be a good source of DCs in the strategy of DC-based cancer vaccine and immunotherapy.
