Abstract

To study the biological response of B-cell lymphoma cells positive for CD20 expression to (131)I-labeled rituximab. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab was labeled with (131)I by means of IODO-GEN method, and its effects on apoptosis of Raji cells were determined by Annexin-V/PI double-labeled cytometry. Its effects on the cell cycles was evaluated by cytometry with PI staining. The cell apoptosis rate measured by Annexin v-FITC/PI was 51.99% in (131)I-rituximab group, significantly higher than that in (131)I group, rituximab group and control group (42.71%, 29.42% and 26.17%, respectively, P<;0.05). The apoptosis rate by flow cytometry with PI staining was 4.32% in (131)I-rituximab group, also significantly higher than that in the other 3 groups (1.47%, 1.39% and 0.37%, respectively, P<0.05). Cell cycle alteration of Raji cells occurred in (131)I-rituximab group, and the majority of cells were arrested at G(1)/G(2) stage. (131)I-rituximab can regulate the cell cycle of Raji cells and induce their apoptosis to inhibit their proliferation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
