✓ A monoclonal antibody termed “FR77” was obtained from a hybridoma clone established by fusion between P3x63Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells of a Fischer F344 rat hyperimmune to syngeneic 9L/R3 glioma cells. Immunoperoxidase staining of various cultured cells showed that FR77 was reactive to both rat and human glioma cells, but was not reactive with other nonglioma cells. Immunohistochemical examination of paraffin-embedded or cryostat-frozen sections of various human tissues revealed that FR77 was strongly reactive with glioblastoma, grade III astrocytoma, and craniopharyngioma; partially reactive with intracerebral primitive neuroectodermal tumor, pineoblastoma, and desmoplastic medulloblastoma; and weakly reactive with low-grade astrocytoma. It was not reactive with other types of brain tumors and normal human tissues tested. The FR77-defined antigen was observed to be predominantly localized in the cytoplasm of antigen-bearing cells as suggested by the immunostaining pattern, but part of it was also expressed on the cell surface of glioma cells as demonstrated by a complement-mediated cytotoxic test. Fractionation of the antigenic component and periodic acid treatment of tumor tissue bearing the FR77-defined antigen indicated that the antigen is of a neutral glycolipid nature and that the antigenic determinant to FR77 is present on its sugar portion.

Previous studies with electropermeabilized cells have suggested the occurrence of metabolic compartmentation and Ca2+-dependent channeling of intermediates of phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis in C6 rat glioma cells. With a more accessible permeabilization technique, we investigated whether this is a more general phenomenon also occurring in other cell types and whether channeling is involved in phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) synthesis as well. C6 rat glioma cells, C3H10T½ fibroblasts and rat hepatocytes were permeabilized with Staphylococcus aureus α-toxin, and the incorporation of the radiolabelled precursors choline, phosphocholine (P-choline), ethanolamine and phosphoethanolamine (P-EA) into PC and PE were measured both at high and low Ca2+ concentrations. In glioma cells, permeabilization at high Ca2+ concentration did not affect [14C]choline or [14C]P-choline incorporation into PC. However, reduction of free Ca2+ in the medium from 1.8 mM to < 1 nM resulted in a dramatic increase in [14C]P-choline incorporation into permeabilized cells, whereas [14C]choline incorporation remained unaffected. Also, in fibroblasts, reduction of extracellular Ca2+ increased [14C]P-choline and [14C]P-EA incorporation into PC and PE respectively. In hepatocytes, a combination of α-toxin and low Ca2+ concentration severely impaired [14C]choline incorporation into PC. Therefore, α-toxin-permeabilized hepatocytes are not a good model in which to study channeling of intermediates in PC biosynthesis. In conclusion, our results indicate that channeling is involved in PC synthesis in glioma cells and fibroblasts. PE synthesis in fibroblasts is also at least partly dependent on channeling.
