Summary

The interactions between tumor cells and endothelium play a key role in the process of tumor growth, local invasion, and distant metastasis. In the present study, we examined the adhesion of C6 glioma cells to bovine endothelial cell (EC) monolayers and defined the cell adhesion molecules acting between these cells. Pretreatment of the EC monolayer with cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and interferon (INF)-γ, significantly increased the adhesion of C6 glioma cells to the EC monolayer. The effect lasted more than 24 hours and was protein-synthesis dependent. The adhesion of C6 glioma cells to TNF-activated ECs was blocked by the monoclonal antibody to the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) orβ 2 integrin, whereas that of melanoma cells was not. These findings provide evidence that ICAM-1 and β2 integrin function as inducible cell surface molecules that can support the adhesion of C6 glioma cells to ECs, and may contribute to the characteristic growth of glial tumorsin vivo.
