ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate whether human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC) vaccine combined with low dose docetaxel (DOC) could play a synergistic role in anti-breast cancer.Methods:
BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal saline group,HUVEC vaccine group,DOC group,and HUVEC vaccine combined with DOC treatment group (HUVEC-DOC) group.An experimental metastasis model by tail vein injection of EMT-6 breast cancer cells was employed to evaluate the anti-metastatic efficiency of the HUVEC-DOC combination treatment regime.Lymphocyte proliferation assay,cytotoxic T lymphocytes and an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting IFN-γ were used to investigate cellular immune responses elicited by the combination treatment regime.Results:
Compared with HUVEC and DOC single drug group,the number of lung metastasis in HUVEC-DOC combination treatment group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).In vitro analysis of splenocytes isolated from immunized mice revealed an induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTLs) with a lytic activity against activated endothelium.IFN-γ in the serum of im-munized mice of the HUVEC-DOC combination treatment group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups(P<0.05).Conclusion:
HUVEC vaccine with low dose of DOC could display synergistic anti-breast cancer effect.
