Popis: 13511 Background: To assess the properties of exosomes secreted by fusion cells of hepatoma patient-derived dendritic cells(DCs)and hepatoma cell line (HepG2) and to evaluate the function of these exosomes to trigger efficient T cell responses against HepG2 cells in vitro. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from hepatoma patients were isolated and in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4, PBMC were cultured in vitro for one week to induce dendritic cells (DC). Fusion cells of DC with HepG2 cells (DC- HepG2) were achieved by PEG and were isolated by magnetic device with HLA Class II Dynabeads. Exosomes were then prepared from the supernatants of the fusion cells by ultra filtration centrifugation and sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. T lymphocytes were pulsed with exosomes directly in the presence of IL-2. After co-cultured with target cells, the stimulated lymphocytes were tested by IFN-? release assay and cytotoxicity capacity assay. Results: After fusion, DC-HepG2 expressed expressed high level of DC surface molecules, including CD83 87.4%, CD80 94.9%, CD86 90.13% and HLA-DR 98.62%. Application of the isolation procedure to fusion cells also revealed exosome vesicles by transmission electron microscopy. Protein analysis by FCM was performed and revealed that the costimulatory molecule CD86 and AFP protein was detectable. The fusion cell- derived exosomes could directly activate T lymphocytes which lysed HepG2 target cells much more effectively than T cells alone did (P No significant financial relationships to disclose.
