Potent growth-inhibitory effect of a dual cancer-specific oncolytic adenovirus expressing apoptin on prostate carcinoma.

چکیده
Apoptin is a chicken anemia virus-derived, p53-independent, bcl-2-insensitive apoptotic protein with the ability to specifically induce apoptosis in various human tumor cells, but not in normal cells. To explore the use of apoptin in tumor gene therapy, we assessed a recombinant adenovirus expressing the apoptin protein (Ad-hTERTp-E1a-Apoptin) in order to determine its lethal and growth-inhibitory effects on PC-3 and RM-1 cells in vitro and its antitumor effect on solid tumors in vivo. 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), acridine orange (AO)/ethidium bromide (EB), 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and Annexin V assays showed that Ad-hTERTp-E1a-Apoptin inhibited the proliferation of PC-3 and RM-1 cells in vitro by inducing apoptosis of prostate cancer cells, and that this inhibitory effect was dose and time-dependent. In the animal models, Ad-hTERTp-E1a-Apoptin significantly inhibited tumor growth and extended the lifespan of animals. Experimental results indicate that Ad-hTERTp-E1a-Apoptin has a potential application in tumor gene therapy.

Cancer targeting gene-viro-therapy (CTGVT) approach has become a hotspot and a trend in the field of cancer biotherapy and oncolytic adenovirus is an ideal vector to carry the targeting genes. In this study, we used human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter to control the adenovirus early region 1a (E1A) and the human α-fetoprotein (AFP) promoter integrated with hypoxia response e...

Objective(s): Apoptotic effect of apoptin has been demonstrated in numerous studies. However, its tumor specificity has been questioned by some reports. The aim of this study was to confine the expression of apoptin in the prostate tumor cells by inducing its gene expression under the control of a chimeric enhancer composing of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and prostate-specific ant...
