Abstrakt: The supposed immunogenic character of glioma cells transfected with antisense IGF-I-Receptor (IGF-I-R) expression vector was tested for the presence of MHC-I currently present in cells of IGF-I antisense type. C6 rat glioma cell line was comparatively transfected in vitro with IGF I antisense (pMT-Anti-IGF I) or IGF I Receptor antisense (pMT-Anti-IGF I R) expression vectors. The wild and transfected cells were examined for the presence of IGF-I and MHC-I molecules. Using RT PCR technique, the transfected "antisens" cells showed total inhibition of IGF-I. The both transfected cultures of IGF-I and of IGF-I-R type were positively stained for MHC-I. Moreover "antisense IGF-I-R" cells as compared to "IGF-I antisense" cells showed slightly higher expression of MHC-I. The transfected cells showed also the feature of apoptosis in 60% of cells. The immunogenicity of IGF-I-R antisense glioma cells is related to MHC-I presence; therefore both approaches of antisense IGF-I and of antisense IGF-I-R could be use in paralel for cellular therapy of glioblastoma.
