摘要
Objective: To investigate whether ornithine decarboxylase antizyme inhibitor-1(OAZI-1) can enhance the immunogenicity of Melan-A and induce antitumor immune effect in the experimental animals or not. Methods: The eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(-) /OAZI-1, pcDNA3.1(-)/Melan-A and pcDNA3.1(-)/ MelanA-OAZI-1 were constructed and used to immune BALB/c mice. The spleen lymphocytes were prepared from the immunized mice and then used to determine the lymphocyte subsets by flow cytometry assay and tumor-killing activity by LDH release assay. The blood samples were collected from the immunized mice and used to test the serum INF-γ levels by ELISA.Results: The eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(-)/OAZI-1, pcDNA3.1(-)/Melan-A and pcDNA3.1(-)/ MelanA-OAZI-1 were constructed successfully. The results of flow cytometry assay show that all three gene vaccines could increase CD8~+ T cell ratio, among of them, the ratio in the pcDNA3.1(-)/Melan-A-OAZI-1 and pcDNA3.1(-)/Melan-A immune groups increased more significantly than other groups but no obvious differences was observed between these two groups. Similarly, all three gene vaccines could also increase CD8~+T cells ratio significantly, but, comparing with all other groups, the highest increase was observed in the pcDNA3.1(-)/Melan-A-OAZI-1 immune group(p<0.05). The LDH release analysis demonstrated that the pcDNA3.1(-)/Melan-A-OAZI-1 gene vaccines could significantly increase cytotoxic activity of the spleen lymphocyte in the immune mice,(p<0.05). The results of ELISA showed that, among the three gene vaccines only pcDNA3.1(-)/Melan-A-OAZI-1 could significantly increase the INF–γ level in the mice serum(p<0.05). Conclusion: OAZI-1 can increase antitumor immunity by promoting tumor antigen presentation.
