Abstract:: |
Objective To investigate the immunologic enhancement of low dose whole-body irradiation in mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) under recombinant plasmid pEgr-IL18-B7.1 gene-radiotherapy. Methods LLC cells were implanted subcutaneously in the right-hind leg of C57BL/6J mice. The pEgr-IL18-B7.1 recombinant plasmids mediated by polyethylenimine were injected locally into tumors of the mice with gene-radiotherapy,and then the tumors received different therapeutic regimens containing local irradiation with 2 Gy and whole-body irradiation with 0.075 Gy, respectively. Cytotoxic activity of CTL and NK were detected with isotope labeling of 3H-TdR. The secretion activities of TNF-α and IFN-γ were detected with ELISA. The anti-tumor immunological effects of low dose whole-body irradiation in protocol of gene-radiotherapy on the tumor-bearing mice were observed. Results Compared with conventional repeated high dose local irradiation, single high dose local irradiation in combination with repeated low dose whole-body irradiation could enhance the cytotoxic activity of CTL and NK,and increase the secretion of TNF-α and IFN-γ under pEgr-IL18-B7.1 gene-radiotherapy. Conclusions Low dose whole-body irradiation superimposed upon a local high dose could significantly enhance the anti-tumor effect in the protocol of gene-radiotherapy through promoting the cytotoxic activity of CTL and NK,and up-regulating the expression of TNF-α and IFN-γ. |
