[Silencing of SOCS1 and IL-12 gene cotransferred by adenoviral enhances DC-mediated anti-laryngocarcinoma immunity in vitro].

Objective: To investigate the effects and the related immunological mechanisms of dendritic cells (DCs) modified by SOCS1siRNA gene and IL-12 gene on activating and inducing cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) as well as specific immune critically killing laryngocarcinoma in vitro.
Method: DCs were derived from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMC), modified by recombinant SOCSlsiRNA adenoviral and IL-12 adenoviral and then pulsed with tumor antigen of repeated freeze-thaw method. The IL-12 and IFN-y levels in culture supernatant of DCs and CTILs were examined by ELISA.
Result: DC were cultivated successfully and had special morphologic haracteristicistics. The rate of Ad-GFP carrying fluorescent expression was over 90%. The expression of SOCS1 protein in DCs were effectively decreased by being modified SOCSlsiRNA and IL-12 genetic while the expression of IL-12 protein were increased. The secretion rate of IL-12 factor was higher than that of SOCSlsiRNA and IL-12 transfection of single gene respectively in modified DCs which could prompt T cell proliferation activation significantly as well. IFN-y was secreted constantly in DC and CTL, resulting in Hep-2.
Conclusion: DC modified by SOCSlsiRNA and IL-12 gene which pulsed with laryngeal carcinoma antigen could increased the production of IL-12 and IFN-y; DC modified by SOCSlsiRNA and IL-12 gene which pulsed with laryngeal carcinoma antigen could enhance the ability to stimulate proliferation of T cell, increase production of IFN-y, IL-12 by T cells and induce the stronger killing rate of CTL.
