Title | CD40 stimulation inhibits cell growth and Fas-mediated apoptosis in a thyroid cancer cell line. |
Journal | Oncol Res |
Abstract |
CD40 plays a critical role in the humoral immune response, especially in B-cell proliferation, differentiation, production of antibody, secretion of cytokines, and apoptosis. Here, we examined CD40 expression on six head and neck cancer cell lines by flow cytometry. Only the HTC/C3 cell line, which originated from a thyroid cancer, expressed CD40 on the surface of the cells. Coculture with anti-CD40 mAb inhibited colony formation of HTC/C3 cells. CD40 stimulation enhanced Fas expression on HTC/C3 cells. Although HTC/C3 cells are sensitive to Fas-mediated apoptosis, CD40 stimulation inhibited Fas-mediated apoptosis in HTC/C3 cells. CD40 stimulation enhanced Bcl-2 expression, and antisense oligonucleotide against bcl-2 canceled the inhibition of HTC/C3 cell growth caused by CD40 stimulation. Additionally, more anti-CD40 mAb-treated HTC/C3 cells were accumulated in G1 phase, and fewer in S phase, compared to nontreated cells. These results suggest that CD40 stimulation might be involved in the slow growth rate of CD40-bearing cancer cells, and they suggest a new biological approach to the treatment of cancers. |
