Abstract
Corynebacterium parvum (CP), with their potent anti-tumor activities, has been well documented. Non-cell Corynebacterium Parvum (NCPP) is a neotype of biological preparation, which based on manipulating CP with nanotechnology. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of NCPP/CP on bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) in tumor-bearing mice, especially focused on the differentiation and maturation of these BMDCs. BM cells from tumor-bearing mice administrated with NCPP/CP were analyzed by flow cytometry, which exhibit enhanced numbers of DCs and macrophages. In the meanwhile, flow cytometry analysis showed mild but significant difference for CD80 expression on these LPS- treated BMDCs between NCPP/CP administrated mice and the control animals. Furthermore, antigen presenting assay for these LPS-treated BMDCs showed significant difference for cytolytic assay of CD8+T cells against B16 melanoma cells, which indicate that NCPP treatments have enhanced the cytolytic rates of CD8+T cells from 47.9%±2.3% to 54.2%±2.4%. The data suggest that NCPP/CP treatment can efficiently facilitate the generation of BMDCs in vivo and enhance the maturation of these BMDCs in vitro.
