METHODS: Mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood of patients with CHB. DCs wer incubated with RPMI-1640 medium supplemented wit fetal bovine serum, IL-4, granulocyte-macrophag colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). DCs were treate with or without ETV on the fourth day. Cell surfac molecules, including CD1a, CD80, CD83 and HLA-DR were assessed by flow cytometry. Concentrations of IL- and IL-12 in the supernatant were assayed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The ability of th generated DCs to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation wa observed. RESULTS: Compared with CHB control group, th expression levels of CD1a (29.07 ± 3.20 vs 26.85 ± 2.80 CD83 (25.66 ± 3.19 vs 23.21 ± 3.10), CD80 (28.00 ± 2.7 vs 25.75 ± 2.51) and HLA-DR (41.96 ± 3.81 vs 32.20 ± 3.04) in ETV-treated group were higher (P < 0.05). ETV treated group secreted significantly more IL-12 (157.6 ± 26.85 pg/mL vs 132.60 ± 22.00 pg/mL (P < 0.05) an had a lower level of IL-6 in the culture supernatant (83.0 ± 13.88 pg/mL vs 93.60 ± 13.61 pg/mL, P < 0.05) tha CHB control group. The ability of DCs to stimulate th proliferation of allogeneic lymphocytes was increase in ETV-treated group compared with CHB control grou (1.53 ± 0.09 vs 1.42 ± 0.08, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Entecavir can enhance the biological activity of DCs derived from CHB patients.展开更多

Cell morphology was observed under light microscopy. Cell surface molecules, including HI_A-DR, CD80, CD83, and CDla, were analyzed with flow cytometry. The concentrations of IL-6 and IL-12 in the supernatant were assayed by ELISA. T cell proliferation was assayed by methyl thiazoM tetrazolium (MTT).RESULTS: The expression of CDlα on DC treated with 0.5 mmol/L LAM (LAM-DC 0.5 mmol/L) was significantly higher than that of DC untreated with LAM (54.1 ± 4.21 vs 33.57 ± 3.14, P 〈 0.05), and so was the expression of CD83 (20.24 ± 2.51 vs 12.83 ± 2.12, P 〈 0.05) as well as the expression of HLA-DR (74.5 ± 5.16 vs 52.8 ± 2.51, P 〈 0.05). Compared with control group, LAM-DC group (0.5 mmol/L) secreted significantly more IL-12 (910 ± 91.5 vs 268 ± 34.3 pg/mL, P 〈 0.05), had lower levels of IL-6 in the culture supernatant (28 ± 2.6 vs 55 ± 7.36 pg/mL, P 〈 0.05), markedly enhanced the stimulatory capacity in the allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) (1.87 ± 0.6 vs 1.24 ± 0.51, P 〈 0.05).CONCLUSION: The lower expression of phenotypic molecules and impaired allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction function of dendritic cells derived from patients with HBV infection could be restored in vitro by incubation with LAM.展开更多
