Abstract (english)
BACKGROUND: Peptidoglycan monomer (PGM), which was originally prepared by biosynthesis from culture fluids of penicillin-treated Brevibacterium divaricatum, is an mmunostimulator, the activities of which might be improved by addition of zinc (Zn) to the basic molecule. METHODS: To test the possible cytotoxic effects of this new analogue, we analyzed the ability of PGM-Zn and PGM to change the phenotypic profile of hepatic and splenic mononuclear lymphatic cells and to affect the growth of malignant T-cell line YAC-1 and syngeneic thymocytes. RESULTS: Pretreatment of C57BL/6 mice primarily with PGM-Zn over 6 days (10/mg/kg ntraperitoneally) significantly enhanced the proportions of NK1.1high+, CD4-CD8-, CD69+, and CD3intermediate/NK1.1+/IL2R-beta+ (NKT) cells in the liver, and major histocompatibility complex class II+, CD69+, and CD8+ cells in the spleen. Both types of cells were highly cytotoxic against YAC-1 and syngeneic thymocytes, increasing the destruction of YAC-1 by 70% on addition of hepatic cells and by 30% on addition of splenic cells. Destruction of thymocytes increased by 10 and 50%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The results point to PGM-Zn as a potent cytotoxicity-inducing agent, which also generates autoreactive NKT cells.
