Abstract
BACKGROUND: The mouse brain microvascular endothelial cell line bEnd.3 was used to develop a vaccine and its anti-tumor effect on lung metastases was observed in immunized mice. METHODS: Mouse bEnd.3 cells cultured in-vitro and then fixed with glutaraldehyde was used to immunize mice; mice were challenged with the metastatic cancer cell line U14, and changes in metastatic cancer tissues were observed through hematoxylin and eosin staining. Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl amino ester (CSFE) and propidium iodide (PI) were used to detect cytotoxic activity of spleen T lymphocytes; the ratio of CD3+ and CD8+ T-cell sub-sets was determined by flow cytometry. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunocytochemistry and immunoblot were used to examine the specific response of the antisera of immunized mice. RESULTS: The number of metastatic nodules in bEnd.3 and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) vaccine groups was less than NIH3T3 vaccine group and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) control group. The bEnd.3-induced and HUVEC-induced cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) showed significant lytic activity against bEnd.3 and HUVEC target cells, while the antisera of mice in bEnd.3 and HUVEC vaccine groups showed specific immune responses to membrane proteins and inhibited target cell proliferation in-vitro. Immunoblot results showed specific bands at 180KD and 220KD in bEnd.3 and at 130 kD and 220 kD in HUVEC lysates. CONCLUSIONS: Allogeneic bEnd.3 vaccine induced an active and specific immune response to tumor vascular endothelial cells that resulted in production of antibodies against the proliferation antigens VEGF-R II, integrin, Endog etc. Immunization with this vaccine inhibited lung metastasis of cervical cancer U14 cells and prolonged the survival of these mice.
