RESUMO

Many cancer studies have been developed, however the molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis and immune responses to tumor is not completely elucidated. RMAS cells are a mutant lymphoma line derived from RMA cells. In contrast to the latter, RMAS are deficient in MHCI and, therefore, are targets for NK cells. Our aims were use these pair of cells to establish mouse models that can be used to understand CD8T vs NK cell immune responses to tumors and investigate the effect of expression of antiapoptotic molecules in tumor behavior in vivo. The combination of these approaches should provide relevant information for the development of novel immunotherapy. To develop EGFP cells we used a bicistronic retroviral vector containing Egfp gene. To develop the experimental models, WT C57BL/6 mice were iv injected with different cell numbers and survival curves were produced. In addition, clinical features and tumor spread was observed by macroscopy, microscopy and EGFP detection of tumor cell analysis in tissues. When injected in vivo, RMA.Egfp cells induced progressive paralysis while RMA-S.Egfp promoted ascites. RMA.Egfp cells infiltrated the bone marrow, while RMA-S.Egfp were found in different tissues such as liver, kidney and the peritoneum cavity, but were not found in bone marrow. The symptoms appeared 15 days post injection of >104 cells and the death was 30 days. Numbers of <103 cells do not induced pathology or death, but protected to paralysis and death when re-injected 106 RMA.Egfp cells. CD4KO and CD8KO mice showed paralysis and death earlier than WT mice. RMA.BclW.Egfp cells were more resistant to apoptosis than RMA.Egfp in vitro and induced worse clinical features in vivo: earlier paralysis and death, swelling of members, haemorragia of liver and kidneys.
