Expression of the Cytokine genes in human astroglial cell lineage was studied. Primers for 5 different human cytokine, TNF-α, -β, IFN-γ, G-CSF and GM-CSF, were used to analyze messanger RNA transcripts in 5 cultured human astrocytoma, one neuroblastoma cell lines and fresh brain specimens by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Three out of 5 unstimulated astrocytomas, U138, U251, U373 MG and IMR32 neurob-lastoma cells expressed TNF-a genes. After stimulation with IL-1β (1000 U/ml) all these cell lines expressed TNF-a genes. TNF-β genes could not be detected in these cell lines even in the presence of any cytokine stimuli. We were able to detect expression of IFN-γ genes within 2 astrocytoma cell lines (U87MG and A172), which interestingly did not show TNF-α activ-ity. Constitutive expression of mRNA transcripts of GM -CSF could be detected in all astrocytoma and two out of 5 unstimulated astrocytomas, U87MG and U138MG, expressed G-CSF genes. After stimulation with IL-1β, all cell lines expressed G-CSF.
