To express the GST-MAGE-3 protein in E. coli, and investigate the antitumor immune responses induced by Dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with GST-MAGE-3 protein, the recombinant expression plasmid pGEX-MAGE-3 was constructed by ligating MAGE-3 gene, which was amplified by RT-PCR and confirmed by sequencing, and the pGEX-4T-2 vector. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into BL-21 E. coli. The expression of GST-MAGE-3 was induced with IPTG. The GST-MAGE-3 protein expressed as high as 32% of the total cellular protein. After purification with Glutathione Sepharose 4B, the purity of the protein was more than 90%, and 3mg GST-MAGE-3 was obtained from 100 mL BL-21 lysate. Dendritic cells from gastric carcinoma patients were pulsed with GST-MAGE-3 protein, and these DCs were used to stimulate the autologous T. lymphocytes. After 7 days, the T. lymphocytes cocultured with DCs pulsed with GST-MAGE-3 antigen exhibited specific cytotoxicity against MAGE-3 positive SGC-7901 cells. It is concluded that the GST-MAGE-3 protein are able to present antigen to T. lymphocytes, activate antigen-specific CTLs and induce special antitumor immune responses in vitro. Our results lay the groundwork for further research of the MAGE-3 vaccine.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
