Decreased susceptibility of lined human gliosarcoma cells to lymphokine-activated killer cell cytolysis by gamma-interferon treatment.
The susceptibility of the established cultured gliosarcoma line GI-1 to lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells was analyzed with and without interferon (IFN)-gamma treatment of target GI-1 cells. IFN-gamma treatment decreased the susceptibility of GI-1 cells to LAK cell cytolysis in a dose-dependent manner. Acid treatment of GI-1 cells increased their susceptibility to cytolysis compared with untreated cells. IFN-gamma treatment and acid treatment of GI-1 cells respectively increased and decreased the expression of class I HLA antigens on GI-1 cells. The susceptibility of GI-1 cells to LAK cell cytolysis and their expression of HLA class I molecules were inversely correlated. Subpopulation depletion experiments on the LAK cells with monoclonal antibodies and complement revealed that phenotypically natural killer type (CD16+) cells had a high cytotoxic activity against untreated GI-1 cells but a relatively low activity against IFN-gamma-treated GI-1 cells in both the precursor and effector phases. On the other hand, phenotypically T-type (CD3+) cells did not show these tendencies at all in both the precursor and the effector phases.
