Abstract

Drug resistance and immune deficiency are important factors for the poor prognosis of lung carcinoma. The present study explored the possible protective effect of immune reconstitution from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) on multi‑drug‑resistant human lung carcinoma Am1010 cells in non‑obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice. The inoculated tumor fragments grew rapidly in the NOD/SCID mice. The growth was significantly inhibited by intraperitoneal injection of PBMCs. In the mice injected with PBMCs, numerous CD3+ and CD8+ cells, but less CD4+ cells, were found in spleen and tumor tissues. These data suggest that PBMC transplantation inhibits lung carcinoma progression via the reconstitution of the immune system, particularly of cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
