Gene transfer of Fas ligand induces tumor regression in vivo.
The Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) system plays an important role in the induction of lymphoid apoptosis and has been implicated in the suppression of immune responses. Herein, we report that gene transfer of FasL inhibits tumor cell growth in vivo. Although such inhibition is expected in Fas+ tumor cell lines, marked regression was unexpectedly observed after FasL gene transfer into the CT26 colon carc...
متن کاملGene transfer of matrix metalloproteinase-9 induces tumor regression of breast cancer in vivo.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are important regulators of angiogenesis and tumor progression by degradation of extracellular matrix. Clinical trials using MMP inhibitors have failed and recent studies suggest that MMPs may in contrast suppress tumor growth. It is not known, however, if MMPs or their inhibitors, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP), can be used as therapy of establish...
متن کاملStatus of FAS and FAS Ligand Gene Polymorphisms in Patients wi th Breast Cancer in Northeastern IRAN
Background: The First apoptosis signal (FAS) and First apoptosis signal ligand (FASL) genes initiate the apoptosis pathway, playing a central role in the tumor growth and metastasis. Gene polymorphisms including -1377 G/A in the promoter region of FAS and -844 C/T in the promoter region of FASL have shown to change the transcription activities of these genes. Methods: In this study we evalua...

متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated retinoblastoma 94 gene transfer induces human pancreatic tumor regression in a mouse xenograft model.
PURPOSE Gene transfer of a truncated variant of the retinoblastoma (RB) gene encoding a M(r) 94000 protein that lacks the NH(2)-terminal 112 amino acid residues, termed RB94, has been shown to inhibit proliferation of several human tumor cell types. We have assessed its therapeutic effectiveness on pancreatic cancer, one of the most aggressive and therapy-resistant types of cancer. For this pur...
