Abstract: To observe the influence of anti-P-selectin lectin-EGF domain monoclonal antibody (PsL-EGFmAb) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) upon the morphologic features of cultured human dendritic cells (DCs), as well as IL-12 secretion. Cord blood CD34+ stem cells were isolated and cultured in 20% IMDM medium with SCF, GM-CSF, TGF-b1, Flt-3L, TNF-a. DCs were interfered by PsL-EGFmAb and IL-10. HLA-DR, CD1a, CD11c, CD83, CD80 and CD86 was assayed by flow cytometry. IL-12 p35, IL-12 p40 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, IL-12 p70 secreted in culture medium was detected by ELISA. The expression of CD11c, CD83, CD80, CD86 was lower in PsL-EGFmAb and IL-10 groups than mature DCs group, and HLA-DR was lower in PsL-EGFmAb group compared with mature group. The mRNA level of IL-12 p35, IL-12 p40 and the secretion of IL-12 p70 was suppressed with PsL-EGFmAb or IL-10 treated, respectively. It showed PsL-EGFmAb and IL-10 might inhibit the expression of adhesion and co-stimulation molecules, and inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory cytokine. PsL-EGFmAb and IL-10 might adjust the antigen presenting function of DCs.
