Abstract

The increase of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in patients with ovarian carcinoma has been verified. Here we investigated the effects of supernatant derived from ovarian carcinoma cell SKOV3 on peripheral regulatory T cells. Supernatant from SKOV3 was collected and fractionated into three different molecular weight fractions (MWFs). The proliferation of the CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells cultured in complete RPMI 1640 medium with the different stimulators was detected. The phenotype (GITR and CTLA-4) of natural and expanded CD4+CD25+ T cells was detected by flow cytometry. Foxp3 mRNA expression of low MWF-expanded CD4+CD25+ T cells was detected by RT-PCR. Those expanded CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells showed enhanced capacity to suppress CD4+CD25− T proliferation and increased expression of GITR and CTLA-4. In brief, low molecular weight fraction of supernatant secreted by SKOV3 could expand peripheral CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and enhance their suppressive function.
