We have compared the anti-tumor effects of β-and γ-interferons (IFN) against human glioma cells using in vitro model, flow cytometry and xenograft in nude mouse. Contrary to γ-IFN which had a negligible effect on the growth of glioma cells, β-IFN showed a dose dependent growth-inhibitory effect on glioma cells in vitro. Our flow cytometry studies revealed that proportion of DNA contents which represent the S and/or G2M phase of cell cycle was markedly increased in cells treated with β-IFN. However, in cells treat-ed with γ-IFN, no pertubations in cell cycledistribution were observed. Regarding the anti-tumor effect examined using xenograft of human glioma cells in nude mouse, the tumor reduction rate which was calculated from the ratio of tumor volume between treated (T) and control (C) groups and expressed as T/C value, was 0.44 in animals treated with ,β-IFN. However, T/C value in animals treated with γ-IFN was 0.80 which was derived from the weaker anti-tumor effect of γ-IFN as compared with that of β-IFN. Beta-IFN was found to cause a partial suppression of the growth of glioma strain used in this studywhich confirms our previous report that β-IFN is effective in reducing tumor size in 2 of 6 glioma strains tested. On the other hand the anti-tumor effect of r-IFN, at least in terms of direct effect, against glioma cells used in this study was minimum. However, the mechanism of γ-IFN's anti-tumor effect may exert mainly through the potentiation of immuno-defence me-chanism and the further studies on its pharmaco-dynamics will be necessary to evaluate the anti-tumor effect of γ-IFN.
