title: Generation of phagocytic MAK and MAC-DC for therapeutic use: characterization and in vitro functional properties.
abstract: Phagocytic cells with macrophage or dendritic cell phenotype, able to capture and ingest tumor cells, were derived in large numbers from peripheral blood mononuclear cells using two different activation procedures. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated in nonadherent conditions in the presence of human AB serum with either granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and dihydroxy-vitamin D3 for 7 days and with interferon-gamma for the last 18 hours to obtain activated macrophages (MAK) or with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-13 for 7 days (with fresh interleukin-13 added on day 4) to obtain macrophage-dendritic cells (MAC-DC). A strong ability of MAC-DC to phagocytose yeasts was observed, in contrast to a low-intermediate phagocytosis capacity by MAK. Both CD14+ FCgammaR+ (FcgammaRI/CD64, FcgammaRII/CD32, FcgammaRIII/CD16) MAK and CD1a+/CD86+, CD14- MAC-DC were able to phagocytose whole tumor cells. However, only MAK phagocytosis was enhanced by FcgammaR engagement. MAK but not MAC-DC could lyse tumor cell in antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity assays, via FcgammaRI. Thus, MAK as well as MAC-DC may represent valuable tools for different in vivo therapy strategies that do or do not include the use of monoclonal antibodies.
