Isolation of immunoresistant human glioma cell clones after selection with alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes: cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic characterization

Abstract

Intratumoral heterogeneity and genetic instability within gliomas may allow intrinsically immunoresistant (IR) cells to escape alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocyte (aCTL) cellular immunotherapy. The potential existence of aCTL-resistant variants prompted us to investigate whether cellular immunotherapy resistant glioma models could be isolated. To generate the models, repeated intermittent or continuous selective pressure (ISP or CSP) with multiple aCTL populations was applied to a low-passage glioblastoma cell explant, 13-06-MG, obtained from a patient at initial diagnosis. IL-6 and IL-8 secretion was greater in coincubates of aCTL cells with 13-06-ISP and 13-06-CSP immunoselected cells than those with 13-06-MG parental cells. Initially, the immunoselected cells were less sensitive to aCTL lysis; however, the reduced aCTL-sensitivity was not maintained upon further selection. We therefore isolated IR clones from continuously immunoselected cells (13-06-CSP). The frequency of IR clones was 1-6 cells per 10,000 immunoselected cells. Two clones selected for further study, 13-06-IR29 and 13-06-IR30, resisted aCTL lysis in the absence of immunoselective pressure. Cytogenetic analyses revealed structural anomalies and genomic imbalan...Continue Reading
