Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic cancer characterized by malignant proliferation of plasma cells and their precursors. Immunosuppressive CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are increased in the peripheral blood of patients with MM. On the basis of this finding, we sought to evaluate the ex vivo effect of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells on the anti-tumor effect of the proteosome inhibitor bortezomib on MM cells. We collected peripheral blood and bone marrow aspiration samples from 20 patients with newly diagnosed MM and isolated CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The bone marrow mononuclear cells were cultivated in RPMI at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 72 hours. The LD50 doses of bortezomib, isolated Treg cells, and their combination were added. After 24 hours, the viability of CD138+ myeloma cells was evaluated by WST-1. We compared the anti-tumor effect of bortezomib alone and in combination with Treg expansion and statistically analyzed the measured differences with respect to the clinical parameters of the patients. Treg cells had varied effects on bortezomib, increasing, decreasing, or not changing its anti-tumor effect. The increased in vitro anti-tumor effect of bortezomib after Treg cell exp...Continue Reading
