Abstract:

BACKGROUND: As the existence of tumor stem cells, it is difficult to completely eliminate tumors in clinic.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the tumor-killing effect of gastric cancer stem cells as antigen to stimulate dendritic cells combined with cytokine-induced killer cells.
METHODS: Side population cells from human gastric cancer cell lines were isolated, and tumor antigen was prepared by freeze thawing method. After coculture with dendritic cells, dendritic cells combined with cytokine-induced killer cells, gastric cancer cell antigen, and gastric cancer stem cell antigen, killing rates of gastric cancer cells were detected using MTT assay. Expression rate of CD83, a mature dendritic cell surface marker, was also detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The CD83 expression level and killing rate of gastric cancer cells were both significantly lower in the gastric cancer stem cell antigen group than the other groups (both P < 0.05). These results indicate that gastric cancer stem cells as antigen to stimulate dendritic cells combined with cytokine-induced killer cells can promote the proliferation of gastric cancer cells and elevate the ability to killing gastric cancer cells.
