Acanthamoeba are free-living protozoa organisms that live abroad in nature. Pathogenic Acanthamoeba can cause a fatal granulomatous amoebic encephalitis and keratitis. Some species of Acanthamoeba can induce some tumor cells apoptosis in vitro. Prom 1996 we have proved that Acanthamoeba L strain (A. lugdunensis-A. quina), firstly got by us from keratitis patients in China, could induce tumor cells’ apoptosis, including PC12, B16 cells et al. In this research we proved that both the body and the lysis of Acanthamoeba could induce mouse melanoma B16 cells apoptosis. But the apoptosis mechanism was poorly understood.
