摘要:

目的】细胞免疫疗法是当前发展快速且可靠的治疗癌症的手段,为开发检测细胞治疗产品效价的新方法。【方法】通过监测肿瘤细胞荧光的变化来反馈细胞毒性。通过构建表达绿色荧光蛋白(green fluorescent protein, GFP)的肿瘤细胞,建立了一种基于活细胞实时动态成像系统的方法来评估细胞治疗产品的细胞毒性。【结果】使用活细胞实时动态成像系统监测K562-GFP细胞,发现其总荧光强度与细胞数量呈现出良好的线性关系。在极低效靶比的共培养条件下,也能展现出高精确性。通过计算NK细胞对K562-GFP细胞的半最大效应浓度(EC50)能够整体地评价NK细胞的细胞毒性。利用流式细胞术检测K562-GFP细胞凋亡与细胞荧光蛋白淬灭的相关性,证明了检测方法的可行性。【结论】该方法无需再使用染料或者抗体,就能够低成本的评估不同类型或生产工艺的免疫细胞对各种肿瘤细胞的杀伤能力。

Abstract:

Objective】Currently cellular immunotherapy is a fast-growing and reliable means of treating cancer. This study aims to develop a new method of detecting the effects of cell therapy products.【Method】By constructing tumor cells expressing green fluorescent protein(GFP), a method for evaluating the cytotoxicity of cell therapy products was constructed based on a real-time live-cell dynamic imaging system.【Result】The real-time live-cell dynamic imaging system was used to monitor K562-GFP cells, and there was a good linear relationship between the total fluorescence intensity and the number of cells. In co-culture with extremely low effector to target(E∶T)ratio, high accuracy was also achieved. The cytotoxicity of natural killer(NK)cells was accurately evaluated by calculating the half-maximum effector concentration(EC50)of NK cells for K562-GFP cells. Flow cytometry(FCM)was used to detect the correlation between apoptosis of K562-GFP cells and the quenching of cell fluorescent protein, which proved the feasibility of the detection method.【Conclusion】This method can be used to evaluate killing ability of immune cells of different types or production processes at a low cost, without requiring the use of dyes or antibodies.
