Adenoviral vector-mediated p53 expression induced apoptosis is a well established gene therapy approach that has been evaluated extensively in epithelial tumors but only recently in lymphoid malignancies mainly due to the known resistance of the lymphoid lineage to adenovirus infection. Recently, it was shown that this resistance is not absolute and that cell lines derived from anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and some other lymphoid malignancies are efficiently transduced by adenoviral vectors. Normal circulating T lymphocytes do not express coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR) and alpha(nu)beta integrins and are relatively resistant to infection by adenovirus. These molecules serve as receptors for adenovirus entry into the cells. ALCL-derived SUDHL-1 cells were evaluated for transduction efficiency and expression of p53 after infection with an adenoviral vector containing wild-type p53 (AdWTp53). Cells derived from ALCL and circulating mononucleated cells (MNCs) were also evaluated for expression of CAR and alpha(nu)beta integrins. AdWTp53-mediated expression of p53 resulted in p21/WAF1 induction, G1 arrest, and apoptosis in SUDHL-1 cells. The expression of CAR and alpha(nu)beta5 integrin was high in SUDHL-1 cells and comparable to levels observed with epithelial tumor cells, but it was absent in MNCs. The susceptibility to adenoviral vector transduction of the tumor-derived cells implies an important biological difference between them and circulating MNCs, possibly underlying the malignant transformation that ALCL cells undergo. Further studies will be required to evaluate this initial observation in more cell lines and tissue derived from ALCL. 相似文献

More than half of malignant gliomas reportedly have alterations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Because p53 plays a key role in the cellular response to DNA-damaging agents, we investigated the role of p53 gene therapy before ionizing radiation in cultured human glioma cells containing normal or mutated p53. Three established human glioma cell lines expressing the wild-type (U87 MG, p53wt) or mutant (A172 and U373 MG, p53mut) p53 gene were transduced by recombinant adenoviral vectors bearing human p53 (Adp53) and Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase genes (AdLacZ, control virus) before radiation (0-20 Gy). Changes in p53, p21, and Bax expression were studied by Western immunoblotting, whereas cell cycle alterations and apoptosis were investigated by flow cytometry and nuclear staining. Survival was assessed by clonogenic assays. Within 48 hours of Adp53 exposure, all three cell lines demonstrated p53 expression at a viral multiplicity of infection of 100. p21, which is a p53-inducible downstream effector gene, was overexpressed, and cells were arrested in the G1 phase. Bax expression, which is thought to play a role in p53-induced apoptosis, did not change with either radiation or Adp53. Apoptosis and survival after p53 gene therapy varied. U87 MG (p53wt) cells showed minimal apoptosis after Adp53, irradiation, or combined treatments. U373 MG (p53mut) cells underwent massive apoptosis and died within 48 hours of Adp53 treatment, independent of irradiation. Surprisingly, A172 (p53mut) cells demonstrated minimal apoptosis after Adp53 exposure; however, unlike U373 MG cells, apoptosis increased with radiation dose. Survival of all three cell lines was reduced dramatically after >10 Gy. Although Adp53 transduction significantly reduced the survival of U373 MG cells and inhibited A172 growth, it had no effect on the U87 MG cell line. Transduction with AdLacZ did not affect apoptosis or cell cycle progression and only minimally affected survival in all cell lines. We conclude that responses to p53 gene therapy are variable among gliomas and most likely depend upon both cellular p53 status and as yet ill-defined downstream pathways involving activation of cell cycle regulatory and apoptotic genes. 相似文献

Enhanced antitumor effect of RGD fiber-modified adenovirus for gene therapy of oral cancer 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Current clinical success rates of adenoviral vector (Adv)-based gene therapy of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck remain unsatisfactory. A major problem with this approach is thought to be related to low Adv transduction efficiency due to weak expression of the adenovirus receptor, coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR), in SCC. To improve the limited infectivity of Adv in oral SCC, we constructed mutated Adv incorporating the integrin-binding motif, RGD, in the HI loop of the fiber knob. The mutated Adv infected target cells through integrins commonly expressed in oral SCC. LacZ marker gene expression after infection with this mutated Adv (Adv-F/RGD) in oral SCC cell lines that showed reduced expression of CAR was approximately 5-10 times higher than that obtained with the parental Adv containing wild-type fiber knob (Adv-F/wt). In an in vitro study, transduction of oral cancer cell lines with Adv-F/RGD expressing human IL-2 (AxCAhIL2-F/RGD) resulted in greater production of cytokine than AxCAhIL2-F/wt infection. In an in vivo therapeutic xenograft model of oral SCC in nude mice, AxCAhIL2-F/RGD demonstrated antitumor effects superior to those of AxCAhIL2-F/wt. These data suggest that exploitation of genetically altered adenovirus vectors with integrin-binding motifs may offer significant improvements in oral SCC gene therapy. 相似文献

Although the high transfection efficiency with adenovirus in vitro is well documented, it is still not clear whether adenoviral vectors are effective in vivo in solid tumor models. In our preliminary experiment, transduction of tumor tissue was limited to just around the injection site after intratumoral injection of the adenoviral vector. To improve the transduction efficiency in vivo, we tried a combination of adenoviral vector and liposome in our animal model. Adenovirus carrying human placental alkaline phosphatase (AdALP) and Lipofectamine or 1,3-di-oleoyloxy-2-(6-carboxyspermyl)-propylamide were used as a marker gene and the cationic liposome, respectively. A >15-fold increase in the transfection efficiency was observed in CT26 tumor cell lines with the combination of AdALP adenovirus carrying murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (AdmGM-CSF), and liposome compared with adenovirus alone, showing the feasibility of the combination treatment. In the animal model, with the combination of liposome and AdALP, deeper and wider distribution of the marker gene in the tumor mass was shown. We conclude that the limitations of direct application of adenoviral vectors in a solid tumor model could be overcome by the use of cationic liposomes. This approach will facilitate the more effective delivery of adenoviral vectors in a clinical trial setting. 相似文献

Recombinant adenovirus is used as a competent vector in a wide spectrum of cancer gene therapies. Adenovirus infection depends on coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR)-mediated virus attachment to the cell surface. However, the expression levels of CAR and the efficiency of adenoviral gene transduction in musculoskeletal tumors have not been systematically investigated. To study the feasibility of gene therapy in musculoskeletal tumors, the expression levels of CAR and the antiproliferative effect of an adenovirally transduced wild-type p53 tumor suppressor gene were examined in 15 distinct musculoskeletal tumor cell lines, 19 tumor tissue samples, and the corresponding pathologically unremarkable mesenchymal tissues. The expression levels of the CAR gene were significantly higher in six of seven osteosarcoma cell lines and two of five osteosarcoma tissue samples than in the other cell lines, musculoskeletal tumors, and mesenchymal tissues. CAR expression levels were closely correlated with adenoviral gene transduction efficiency and the antiproliferative effect of a transduced adenoviral p53 gene in the tested cell lines. In addition, an immunocytochemical study confirmed that transfected green fluorescent protein (GFP) borne by Ad-CAG-GFP was expressed at the cell surface of CAR-positive cells. These results indicate that CAR expression is a critical determinant of transduction efficiency in adenovirus-based gene therapy. Most osteosarcomas appeared to express high levels of CAR, and thus adenovirus-mediated p53 gene therapy is likely to be suitable for the treatment of such tumors. (Cancer Sci 2003; 94: 70–75) 相似文献

It has been reported that U-87MG glioma cells with wild-type p53 are resistant to p53 replacement gene therapy. As some gliomas harbor wild-type p53, it would be important to override the resistance mechanism due to wild-type p53 in glioma gene therapy. In this study, we transduced U-87MG cells or U251 glioma cells harboring mutated p53 with the p53 or p73alpha gene (a homologue of p53, that differently induces some p53-responsive genes) via adenovirus vectors (Advs) at same multiplicities of infection (MOIs) into respective cells (U-87MG: MOI 1000, U251: MOI 100), and evaluated the degree of apoptosis. The results demonstrate that the degree of apoptosis induced by Adv-mediated transduction of p53 in U-87MG cells was lower than that in U251 cells, whereas that induced by Adv-mediated transduction of p73alpha in U-87MG cells was higher than that in U251 cells. Bax expression in U-87MG and U251 cells induced by Adv-mediated transduction of p53 was almost the same as that of p73alpha. On the other hand, Adv-mediated transduction of p73alpha induced caspase-9 at higher levels than that of p53 in both cells. The results indicate that Adv-mediated transduction of p73alpha might be beneficial to overcome the resistance mechanism of glioma cells harboring wild-type p53. 相似文献

Clinical trials in malignant glioma have demonstrated excellent safety of recombinant adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) but lack of convincing efficacy. The overall low expression levels of the Coxsackie and Adenovirus receptor and the presence of high anti-Ad5-neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers in the human population are considered detrimental for consistency of clinical results. To identify an adenoviral vector better suited to infect primary glioma cells, we tested a library of fiber-chimeric Ad5-based adenoviral vectors on 12 fresh human glioma cell suspensions. Significantly improved marker gene expression was obtained with several Ad5-chimeric vectors, predominantly vectors carrying fiber molecules derived from B-group viruses (Ad11, Ad16, Ad35 and Ad50). We next tested Ad35 sero prevalence in sera derived from 90 Dutch cancer patients including 30 glioma patients and investigated the transduction efficiency of this vector in glioma cell suspensions. Our results demonstrate that the sero prevalence and the titers of NAb against Ad35 are significantly lower than against Ad5. Also, recombinant Ad35 has significantly increased ability to transfer a gene to primary glioma cells compared to Ad5. We thus conclude that Ad35 represents an interesting candidate vector for gene therapy of malignant glioma. 相似文献

Cooperative effect of adenoviral p53 gene therapy and standard chemotherapy in ovarian cancer cells independent of the endogenous p53 status 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Clinical adenoviral p53 gene therapy has been shown by us and others to inhibit tumor growth of ovarian cancer with endogenous mutant p53. This study was designed to test the cooperative antitumor effect of standard combination chemotherapy using paclitaxel and carboplatin together with adenoviral p53 gene transfer in the presence of wild-type and mutant p53. Seven ovarian cancer cell lines with mutant p53 and seven ovarian cancer cell lines with wild-type p53 were tested. An E1-deleted adenovirus type 5 expressing p53 (ACNp53) was used for p53 gene transfer. p53 gene transfer at 50% transduction efficiency significantly reduced IC50 of carboplatin chemotherapy up to 49-fold, of paclitaxel chemotherapy up to six-fold, and of paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy up to 19-fold in the wild-type p53 cell line OV-MZ-5. Synergism between ACNp53 and chemotherapy calculated by median-effect analysis was found at low drug concentrations in all cell lines independent of the p53 mutational status. In conclusion, adenoviral p53 gene transfer significantly increased the sensitivity of ovarian tumor cells to paclitaxel, to carboplatin and/or to the combination of both. 相似文献

The development of methods for efficient and specific delivery of therapeutic genes into target tissues is an important issue for further development of in vivo gene therapy. In the present study, the physical targeting technique, photochemical internalization (PCI), has been used together with adenovirus. The combination of PCI and adenoviral transduction has previously been shown to be favorable compared to adenovirus used alone, and the aim of this study was to verify the role of the adenoviral receptors and identify the uptake pathway used by adenoviral particles in photochemically treated cells. All examined cell lines showed augmented transduction efficiency after PCI-treatment, with a maximum of 13-fold increase in transgene expression compared to conventionally infected cells. Blocking of CAR induced a complete inhibition of PCI-enhanced transgene expression. However, photochemical treatment managed to enhance the transduction efficiency of the retargeted virus AdRGD-GFP showing also that the virus-CAR interaction is not vital for obtaining a photochemical effect on adenoviral transduction. Blocking the alpha(V)-integrins reduced the gene expression significantly in photochemically treated cells. Subjecting HeLa cells expressing negative mutant-dynamin to light treatment after infection gave no significant increase in gene transfer, while the gene transfer were enhanced seven-fold in cells with wild-type dynamin. Furthermore, chlorpromazine inhibited photochemical transduction in a dose-dependent manner, whereas Filipin III had no effect on the gene transfer. In summary, the data presented imply that adenoviral receptor binding is important and clathrin-mediated endocytosis is the predominant uptake mechanism for adenoviral particles in photochemically treated cells. 相似文献

Co-transduction of Apaf-1 and caspase-9 highly enhances p53-mediated apoptosis in gliomas 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Mutation of the p53 gene plays a critical role in the development of cancer and response to cancer therapy. To analyze the mechanism of cancer development and to improve cancer therapy, it is important to assess which genes are downstream components of p53 in cancers, and whether the expression levels of these genes affect p53-mediated apoptosis. In this study, we transduced the wild type p53 gene along with the Apaf-1 and caspase-9 genes via adenovirus vectors into U251 and U-373MG glioma cells harbouring a mutated p53, and evaluated the degree of apoptosis. Co-induction of Apaf-1 and caspase-9 genes highly enhanced p53-mediated apoptosis in glioma cells. Induction of wild type p53 enhanced the expression levels of Bax, p21/WAF1, and Fas protein. To determine which gene is activated by wild type p53 induction and, in turn, activates Apaf-1 and caspase-9, we transduced the Bax, p21/WAF1 or Fas gene via adenovirus vector to U251 cells to achieve a similar expression level as that induced by the Adv for p53 in U251 cells. U251 cells transduced with Fas concomitant with the Apaf-1 and caspase-9 genes underwent drastic apoptosis. This suggests that induction of wild type p53 upregulates Fas, which in turn may play a role in the activation of Apaf-1 and caspase-9. These results are important for analyzing the mechanism of tumour development and for predicting the therapeutic effect of p53 replacement gene therapy in a particular patient. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), which was initially supposed to be a promising cancer therapeutic reagent, does not kill most types of cancer cells partly due to the activation of an anti-apoptotic gene, NF-kappaB. NF-kappaB forms an inactive complex with the inhibitor kappa B alpha (IkappaBalpha), which is rapidly phosphorylated and degraded in response to various extracellular signals. To disrupt this protective mechanism, we introduced an inhibitor kappa B alpha (IkappaBdN) gene, a deletion mutant gene lacking the nucleotides for the N-terminal 36 amino acids of IkappaBalpha, into human glioma cells (U251, T-98G, and U-373MG) via an adenoviral (Adv) vector in addition to treatment of the glioma cells with recombinant TNF. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that NF-kappaB was translocated to nuclei by TNF treatment in U251 and T-98G cells, but not in U-373MG cells. Neither transduction of IkappaBdN nor treatment with TNF protein alone induced apoptosis in U251 and T-98G cells, whereas both cell lines underwent drastic TNF-induced apoptosis after transduction of IkappaBdN. On the other hand, U-373MG cells were refractory to TNF-induced apoptosis even when they were transduced with the IkappaBdN gene. U-373MG cells underwent drastically increased apoptosis when co-transduced with the IkappaBdN and Bax gene in the presence of TNF. Adv-mediated transfer of IkappaBdN or IkappaBdN plus Bax may be a promising therapeutic approach to treat gliomas through TNF-mediated apoptosis. 相似文献

Potential of adenoviral p53 gene therapy and irradiation for the treatment of malignant gliomas 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We investigated the combined effects of p53 gene transfer and irradiation and its still unclear interaction mechanism in human gliomas. Four human glioma cell lines expressing mutant type p53 (U373 and A172) and wild-type p53 (D54MG and EFC-2) were transfected by adenoviral vectors bearing p53 gene at 50 multiplicity of infection. Two days after transfection, cells were irradiated (3, 6, and 9 Gy). The cytotoxicity was evaluated by clonogenic assay. The quantitative analysis of apoptosis and cell cycle analysis were performed using flow cytometry. Irradiation combined with adenoviral p53 transfection significantly increased cytotoxicity, which was additive in cell lines with wild-type p53 and more than additive in cell lines with mutant p53. The combination of two modalities increased the apoptotic population by 14% in A172 cells and 20% in D54 MG cells, which were the sum of apoptosis from each modality. Adenoviral p53 transfection increased the G1 phase fraction and concomitant decrease of radioresistant S phase fraction in A172 and D54MG cells. Our study demonstrated that p53 gene transfer combined with irradiation increased absolute cytotoxicity in human glioma cells used in this experiment. The interaction mechanism for increased cytotoxicity involved, in part, increased apoptosis and change of cell cycle profile. 相似文献

p53 alone or in combination with antisense cyclin D1 induces apoptosis and reduces tumor size in human melanoma 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Melanoma incidence is growing at a faster rate than any other human malignancy. Wild-type (wt) p53 is important in both G(1) and G(2) cell cycle arrest, and cyclin D1 (CD1) is necessary for G(1)-->S progression in melanoma cells. We reported that an adenoviral vector containing wt p53 significantly reduced [(3)H]thymidine uptake in melanoma cells containing mutant but not wt p53. Subsequently we showed that CD1 decreased melanoma proliferation and increased apoptosis. We now extend these findings by evaluating the effect on preformed melanomas of (1) intratumoral therapy with wt p53 alone, (2) wt p53 in combination with antisense (AS) CD1, both short (< or =14 days) and longer term, and (3) doubling the dose or repeat doses of wt p53 or AS CD1. Two melanoma cells lines that metastasize in SCID mice (451 and 1205) were used, one containing a p53 mutation (451) and the other a normal p53 gene sequence (1205). Compared to injection with a control adenoviral vector containing beta-galactosidase (LacZ), intratumoral injection of wt p53 slowed the growth of tumors formed from 451 cells. Using 5 x 10(8) plaque forming units as our standard intratumoral dose, neither doubling the dose of LacZ, p53 or AS CD1, nor repeat doses of the vectors, was as effective as combined therapy with wt p53+AS CD1, which resulted in the shrinkage of all tumors treated and 4/7 (57%) tumors vanished. No tumors treated with wt p53 or AS CD1 alone vanished. Wt p53+AS CD1 treatment resulted in significantly more cells undergoing apoptosis compared to either therapy alone. In summary, combining the separately effective treatment vectors p53 and AS CD1 led to an enhanced growth-suppressive and apoptotic effect, supporting a role for combination gene therapy to treat human malignant melanoma. 相似文献

Recombinant adenovirus mediated p53 gene transfer combined with anti-cancer drugs has clinical potential for gene therapy of lung cancer. We constructed a recombinant adenoviral vector expressing wild-type p53 cDNA (Ad-p53), and assessed the efficacy of a combined treatment with Ad-p53 and six anti-cancer drugs (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, docetaxel, irinotecan, and etoposide) for human lung cancer cell lines, H1299 (with deleted p53), RERF-LC-OK (with mutant p53), and A549 (with wild-type p53). The infection of the Ad-p53 vector into H1299 cells, RERF-LC-OK cells, or A549 cells increased the sensitivity to all six drugs regardless of the cellular p53 status, and a synergism was observed by the isobolic method in combination studies (D<1). We conclude that our strategy using adenoviral mediated p53 gene transfer to cancer cells can enhance the cytotoxic effect of anti-cancer drugs, which leading to an improvement of lung cancer chemotherapy. 相似文献

Adenovirus infection of CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells is dependent on the multiplicity of infection (MOI), time of incubation, the volume in which the co-incubation occurs and the presence or absence of growth factors. Studies revealed that a brief co-incubation (1-8 hours), resulted in low levels of transgene expression, suggesting that adenovirus infection of CD34+ cells occurs slowly, and optimal transduction requires a 24 hour exposure to adenovirus. Infection by Ad/β-gal or Ad/p53 at a MOI of 500:1 provided a high transduction efficiency but inhibited hematopoietic function. However, treatment at a MOI of 50-100 resulted in efficient transduction (10.7-15.7% positive) without detectable toxicity. Secondary proof of adenovirus transgene expression was demonstrated by detection of mRNA for p53 in Ad/p53 infected stem cells. We conclude that a 24 hour exposure to recombinant adenovirus encoding p53 or β-gal, at a MOI of 50-100 is optimal for in vitro gene transfer to BM cells and has no significant effect on hematopoietic function. Adenovirus-mediated transduction of BM cells can also be modulated by growth factors (IL-3, GM-CSF and G-CSF) with improved gene delivery and maintenance of hematopoietic function. In summary, adenovirus vectors can be used to transiently transduce stem cells, and conditions have been defined to maximize expression and limit inhibitory effects on CD34+ cells. These data support continued investigation of this vector for local cytokine delivery and purging of stem cell products. 相似文献

Prior reports suggest that p53 protein status may influence the response to gene transduction with wild-type (wt) p53. Adenoviral vectors containing the p53 gene were administered to normal keratinocytes, to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) lines with varied p53 protein status (absent, mutant, wt, or degraded by papillomavirus), as well as to tumors formed in severe combined immunodeficient mice. The percentage of cells undergoing apoptosis, G1 growth arrest, WAF1/p21 induction, and in vivo tumor progression were studied after wt p53 gene transduction. Apoptosis developed first in normal keratinocytes, next in SCCs lacking p53 protein, and last in SCCs with mutant or degraded p53 protein. All of the cell lines studied demonstrated an increase in WAF1/p21 protein, but only those lacking p53 protein showed G1 arrest. Tumors lacking p53 protein were more susceptible to p53 overexpression than those containing mutant or degraded p53 protein. The endogenous p53 protein status of SCCs appears to influence the outcome of p53 gene transduction. 相似文献

Apoptosis induced by adenovirus-mediated p53 gene transfer in human glioma correlates with site-specific phosphorylation 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Therapeutic replacement of the p53 gene using an adenovirus vector (Ad-p53) may be an effective alternative to conventional therapies for the treatment of glioma. We have previously demonstrated that the introduction of Ad-p53 into glioma cells containing mutant p53 induces apoptosis, whereas glioma cells containing wild-type p53 are resistant. However, Ad-p53 will enhance the radiosensitivity of wild-type p53 glioma cells by increasing their tendency for apoptosis. The mechanism underlying these different responses to Ad-p53 has not been elucidated to date. Because phosphorylation of p53 at serines 15, 20, and 392 may play a role in regulating p53-mediated apoptotic activity, we determined the phosphorylation status of exogenous p53 in mutant and wild-type gliomas after Ad-p53 transfer. Monolayer cultures of glioma cell lines expressing mutant p53 (U251 and U373) or wild-type p53 (U87 and D54) were infected with Ad-p53 and analyzed by Western blotting. High levels of exogenous p53 were detected in both cell lines after Ad-p53 transfer. However, only apoptotic mutant p53 cells expressed high levels of phospho-Ser15-p53 and phospho-Ser20-p53. The levels of phospho-Ser15-p53 and phospho-Ser20-p53 were very low in wild-type p53 cells after Ad-p53 infection alone. When wild-type p53 glioma cells were exposed to radiation after Ad-p53 infection, phospho-Ser15-p53 and phospho-Ser20-p53 were detected at high levels, and the cells subsequently underwent apoptosis; no change in serine 392 was detected. The induction of apoptosis and the expression of phospho-Ser15 and phospho-Ser20 in these cells were also enhanced by the combination of Ad-p53 and other DNA-damaging agents such as cisplatin and bichloroethyl nitrosourea. Furthermore, the expression of phospho-Ser15-p53 and phospho-Ser20-p53 correlated with the amount of apoptosis; the apoptotic activity of p53 in glioma cells was partially inhibited by a mutation of p53 at serine 15. These results suggest that phosphorylation of p53 at serine 15 and serine 20 is critical for apoptosis induction in p53 gene therapy for gliomas. 相似文献
