Methods： Peripheral blood DCs were induced by rhGM-CSF and IL-4 and cultured. DCs were sensitized by whole antigen of a pancreatic cancer cell line （PANC-1） with expression of K-ras mutant, K-ras mutant peptide （K-ras＋peptide） and cationic nanoparticles with K-ras mutant peptide （K-ras＋peptide-CNP）, respectively. Cell surface markers were measured by flow cytometry. Lymphocyte proliferation was detected by the 3H-TdR test, and ELISAwas performed to detect IFN-y secretion. 125I-UdR was used to measure the killing effect of CTLs. We also evaluated the antitumor activity of CTLs in vivo in a tumor-bearing nude mouse model prepared with the PANC-1 （K-ras＋） and SW1990 （K-ras-） cell lines. Results： Compared with K-ras＋peptide, low concentration K-ras＋pepUde-CNP can be effectively presented by DCs （P 〈 0.05）. CTLs induced by DCs pulsed with whole tumor antigen had significant greater killing effect （P 〈 0.05） on PANC-1 and SW1990 pancreatic cancer cells compared with K-ras＋peptide and K-ras＋peptide-CNP-induced CTLs. CTLs induced by DCs pulsed with K-ras＋peptide and K-ras＋peptide-CNP had a specific killing effect （P 〈 0.05） for PANC-1 and no effect （P 〉 0.05） on SW1990 cell lines （P 〉 0.05）. Conclusion： Cationic nanoparticles with K-ras （12-Val） mutant peptide can be effectively presented by DCs at a low concentration in a short time. CTLs induced by K-ras＋peptide-CNP had specific killing activity for the pancreatic cancer cell line with the K-ras （12-Val） mutant and could significantly inhibit tumor growth and increase the survival time of tumor-bearing nude mice.展开更多

DCs were generated from mouse bone marrow in the presence of rmGM-CSF （3.3 ng/mL） and rmIL-4 （1.3 ng/mL） and detected by FACS, and then transfecled with the recombinant adenovirus encoding mutant k ras gene. The efficacy of transfection and T cell stimulating activity of DCs were detected. CTL activity of the mice vaccinated with DCs was observed. The resuhs showed thai DCs had dendritic veiled morphology. BmDCs highly expressed B7-1（80%）, B7-2（77%）, MHC Ⅱ （70%）, CDllc （65%）, CD40 （70%） and CD54 （96%） with FACS, and no significant difference in the expression was observed before and after the transfection （P〈0.05）. The DCs transfeeled by mutant k-ras gene could significantly stimulate lymphoeytes proliferation as compared with those transfeeted by Ad e or non-modified DCs （P〈0.05）. DC vaccine transfected by mutant k-ras gene could induce CTL activity against Lewis lung cancer, but not against B16. The specific eytotoxicity against Lewis lung cancer in Ad-k-ras/12-transdueed DC group was signifieantly higher than those in the control, vector and non transfeeted DCs groups （P〈0.05）. It was concluded that special antitumor response could be induced by DCs transfected with recombinant adenovirus carrying mutant k-ras genes.展开更多
