Methods: Sixty BALB/C male nude mice were selected. A model of RM-1 cell transplantation tumor of prostate cancer was built by the subcutaneous inoculation of RM-1 cells. After that, those 60 experimental mice were randomly divided into groups A, B and C. Each group had 20 mice. Mice in group A were treated with 0.2 m L of normal saline(0.9%) by intraperitoneal injection once a day; mice in group B received intraperitoneal injection of 1.875 mg/m L of oridonin once a day; and mice in group C received intraperitoneal injection of 7.5 mg/m L of oridonin once a day. Mice in the three groups were treated uninterruptedly for 5 weeks and were all killed. Then, tumors were excised and weighed to calculate their growth inhibitory rate, volume increment and anti-tumor rate. Thymus and spleen of mice in the three groups were collected to calculate the thymus and spleen index. Immunohistochemical staining was applied to observe the expression of caspase-3 in prostate cancer tissue of mice of the three groups. Results: The qualities and volume increment of tumors in groups B and C were significantly lower than those of group A(P < 0.05); the qualities and volume increment of tumors in groups C were evidently lower than those of group B(P < 0.05); the tumor volume increment and anti-tumor rate in group C were obviously higher than those of group B(P < 0.05); the thymus and spleen indexes of groups B and C were distinctly higher than those of group A(P < 0.05); comparison of the thymus and spleen indexes between group B and group C showed no statistical differences(P > 0.05). Immumohistochemical staining revealed that the caspase-3 protein in prostate cancer tissue of mice of group A expressed negatively with colourless or light-colored karyon; while the caspase-3 protein in prostate cancer tissue of mice of group B expressed positively with dark-colored karyon, centralized distribution and granular sensation; a展开更多

Methods： C57BL/6 mice were immunized on the dorsal flank by s.c. inoculation of Lysate-DC, ova-DC, and non-DC on day -7. On day 0, 2× 10^6cells of RM-1 tumor cells （H-2b） were injected s.c. in C57BL/6 mice pre-treated by s.c. inoculation of modified DCs, correspondingly. DTH assay was performed with modified DCs. In partial test, for the determination of which immune cells were required for antitumor activity, mice were immunodepleted of CD4, CDS, or natural killer （NK） NK1.1 cells with the corresponding monoclonal antibodies. The survival time of nude mice loaded with tumor cells was calculated and the size of tumor measured. Results： In RM-1 mice prostate cancer model, immunized with lysate-DC, compared with ova-DC and non-DC, the pre-infection vaccine resulted in 100% clearance of primary tumors, whereas on day 0 of injection vaccine cleared 40-60% of primary tumors. On day 0, C57BL/6 mice （H-2b） were immunized with Lysate-DC, compared with ova-DC and non-DC by caudal vein injection, then on day 15, RM-1 cells were inoculated. On day 30, average diameters of tumor in different groups of modified DC were 23.7±5.4 mm, 22.1±4.9 mm, 4.3±2.6 mm, respectively. Lysate-DC, compared with ova-DC and non-DC, can greatly depressed RM-1 tumor cell growth （P〈0.01）. The mean survival time of C57BL/6 mice in Lysate-DC, ova-DC and non-DC groups were 15.8±2.6, 16.6±3.2, 39.0±5.6, respectively, and there was a significant difference in the mean survival time in lysate-DC group between ova-DC and non-DC group （P〈0.01）. DTH test showed that lysate-DC could prime T lymphocyte and elicit tumor antigen specific immune response, and over 80% mice in groups of lysate-DC showed obvious swelling in their foot pad. This response was strengthened with repeating inoculation, whereas D展开更多
