PG - 3301-5 LID - 10.1016/j.transproceed.2010.07.037 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to generate dendritic cells (DCs) from peripheral blood monocytes (PBMC) of patients suffering from ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Immature DCs were generated from PBMC cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with 2% human serum albumin (HSA), supplemented with recombinant human (rh) granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and rh interleukin (IL)-4. After 5 days of culture, DC maturation was induced by the addition of an ovarian cancer cell line (CAOV3) lysate and after 6 days of rh tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha for a further 2 days. The phenotype of the generated cells was assessed by flow cytometry for the expressions of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR, costimulatory molecules (e.g., CD86, CD80), CD83, CD1a, and CD14. PBMC cultured in 2% HSA without rhIL-4, rhGM-CSF, rh-TNF-alpha, or tumor cell lysate formed the control group. RESULTS: The 2.41% (interquartile range, 1.51%-3.52%) of CD45+/CD14+ cells in cultures with rhIL-4, rhGM-CSF, rhTNF-alpha and tumor cell lysate was significantly lower than in the control group (31.10%; interquartile range, 11.11%-64.06%). Cultures with rhIL-4, rhGM-CSF, rhTNF-alpha, and tumor cell lysate showed a higher percentage (19.96%; interquartile range, 9.30%-24.42%) of fully mature CD83+/CD1a-/HLA-DR+ DCs compared with control culture (6.02%; interquartile range, 3.01%-7.37%). There was no significant difference in the expression of the immature DC marker (CD1a) between the cultures. The expression of co-stimulatory markers (CD80, CD86, HLA-DR) was greater (24.29%; interquartile range, 18.68%-33.95%) on DCs from cultures with rhIL-4, rhGM-CSF, TNF-alpha, and tumor cell lysate versus controls (4.93%; interquartile range, 2.67%-9.09%). CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrated that immature and mature DCs can be generated from adherent human PBMC from ovarian cancer patients cultured with rhIL-4, rhGM-CSF, rhTNF-alpha, and tumor cell lysates.
