The influences of TGF-β1 upon the human adenocarcinoma cell of lung A549 and cellular immunity
Annals of Translational Medicine(2020)
摘要
Background The cellular immunity of lung cancer patients is mainly the immune response of T cells, which plays an important role in tumour cell killing and immune surveillance. Transforming growth factor 1 (TGF-β1) is secreted by tumour cells that can suppress the immune response and is an important group of immune down-regulation factors. Our study aims to investigate the effect of TGF-β1 on the morphology and cellular immune function of A549 and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Methods A549 cell line was cultured, PBMCs were cultured with different concentrations of TGF-β1, and the morphology of A549 cells and PBMCs were seen. The levels of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, and TNF and the numbers of CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8, and CD3 CD25 and CD4 CD25 in PBMCs were detected. Results During co-culture of A549 with PBMCs, TGF-β1 can induced A549 showing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, enhanced its ability of migration and infiltration. Simultaneously, TGF-β1 can depressing the growth and proliferation of PBMCs, inhibiting T-cell activation, and accelerating the PBMCs apoptosis. TGF-β1 can inhibits A549 Th1 related-cytokines, enhance Th2 related-cytokines, cause the disorder of Th1/Th2, resulting in the Th1 cellular dominate immunity decline. Conclusions TGF-β1 may affect the secretion of related cytokines, hinder the activation of T lymphocytes, destroy the immune surveillance and killing effect of the body, and thus inhibit the cellular immunity.
