We have investigated the anti-tumor activity of ex vivo activated and expanded T cells which had been sensitized in vivo to one of two different syngeneic rat glioma cell lines; D74 or RT-2. Rats were sensitized by inoculation of irradiated tumor cells into each hind foot pad. After 10 days, the tumor-draining lymph node (DLN) from each popliteal region was excised and prepared as a single cell suspension. Tumor-DLN lymphocytes were next activated overnight in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), Bryostatin-1 (5 nM), ionomycin (1 μM), and 20 U human recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2) per ml. Culture for seven days in RPMI-1640 supplemented with FBS and IL-2 resultedin approximately 100-fold expansion of the lymphocyte population. Both D74- and RT-2-sensitized T cells constitutively secreted tumor necrosis factor-α, and both lymphocyte populations produced comparable amounts of the cytokine when co-cultured with either gliomacell line. Neither D74- and RT-2-sensitized effectors constitutively secreted γ-interferon (γ-IFN), but both populations produced γ-IFN when exposed to either glioma cell line in vitro. D74-sensitized T cells released significantly more γ-IFN than the RT-2 DLN lymphocytes. In vitro51Chromium-release assays indicated that RT-2-sensitized T cells were more cytotoxic for RT-2 targetsthan for the D74 line and that D74-sensitized effectors werealso more cytotoxic for RT-2 targets. To assess in vivo therapeutic efficacy, rats who had been inoculated intradermally with RT-2 cells three days earlier received an intravenous injection of RT-2- or D74-sensitized DLN cells (106Q cells/gram body weight) expanded after activation with Bryostatin-1 and ionomycin or an equal number of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. Tumordiameters were measured daily and revealed that injection of glioma- sensitized lymphocytes led to the elimination of tumor while treatmentwith LAK cells had no therapeutic benefit. These results indicate, that at least for these two glioma lines, γ-IFN release, rather than in vitro cytotoxicity, was a better predictor for in vivo immunotherapeutic efficacy of the glioma-sensitized, expanded T cells.
