摘要
目的探讨二甲双胍产生的增强CD8阳性T细胞肿瘤浸润作用与增加的肿瘤灌注之间的相关性。方法 6~8周雌性小鼠乳腺脂肪垫接种4T1细胞后9d,随机分为对照组及二甲双胍干预组。提取标本前15min,经尾静脉注射TRITC标记的Lectin溶液,提取标本并制备成冰冻切片后行CD8抗体荧光染色,用激光共聚焦显微镜采集结果。用Spearman分析方法观察相关性。结果二甲双胍干预组的CD8阳性细胞浸润数量[(120.8±26.9)个/mm~2 vs.(67.9±22.9)个/mm~2]及Lectin阳性信号面积[(18 357.0±5 865.0)像素/μm~2 vs.(10 233.0±4 434.0)像素/μm~2]显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。两组的CD8阳性T细胞浸润数量与Lectin阳性信号面积均呈线性相关(对照组:R=0.884,P=0.007;二甲双胍组:R=0.928,P<0.001)。结论增加的肿瘤灌注与二甲双胍介导的增强CD8阳性T细胞肿瘤浸润密切相关。
Objective To investigate the linear correlation between metformin-induced increase in the number of CD8~+T cells infiltrated into the cancer and metformin-mediated elevation of tumor blood perfusion.Methods4 T1 murine breast cancer cells were orthotopically injected into the fat pad of the 4th breast of BALB/C mice.Nine days later,the mice were randomly divided into the control and metformin groups.Fifteen minutes before extraction,TRITC-conjugated lectin was injected into the tail vein of the mice.Then,the extracted tumor tissues were prepared for frozen sections,which were then stained with anti-CD8 antibody for further immunofluorescent detection.Spearman correlation analysis was performed to observe the correlation between the parameters.ResultsBoth the infiltration of CD8~+T cells [(120.8±26.9)/mm~2 vs.(67.9±22.9)/mm~2]and lectin-perfused area[(18 357.0±5 865.0)pixels/μm~2 vs.(10 233.0±4 434.0)pixels/μm~2]were significantly higher in metformin-treated group than in the untreated group.In both groups,the number of the infiltrated CD8~+T cells was linearly correlated with lectin-perfused area(control:R =0.884,P=0.007;metformin:R =0.928,P<0.001).ConclusionIncreased tumor perfusion is closely correlated with metformin-induced increase in the infiltration of CD8~+T cells into the tumor.
