Adenovirus-Mediated p21 Gene Transfer Induces Apoptosis of Human Cervical Cancer Cell Lines
p21 (p21) arrests cell growth by inhibiting cyclin-depend kinases. To explore the potential of using p21 for the gene therapy of cervical cancer, we infected human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive cervical cancer cells (HeLa, SiHa, and Z172) and HPV-negative cervical cancer cells (C33A) with recombinant adenovirus encoding p21 cDNA. The results revealed that effective inhibition of cell growth cou...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated gene transfer of the tumor suppressor, p53, induces apoptosis in postmitotic neurons
Programmed cell death is an ongoing process in both the developing and the mature nervous system. The tumor suppressor gene, p53, can induce apoptosis in a number of different cell types. Recently, the enhanced expression of p53 has been observed during acute neurological disease. To determine whether p53 overexpression could influence neuronal survival, we used a recombinant adenovirus vector ...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated decorin expression induces cancer cell death through activation of p53 and mitochondrial apoptosis
Decorin (DCN) is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan that plays an important role in the regulation of apoptosis, proliferation, intercellular contact, and cell migration. Here we have investigated the detailed mechanism of apoptotic cell death induced by DCN expression. A marked increase in cytotoxicity was observed for both DCN-expressing replication-incompetent (dE1/DCN) and -competent (dB/DCN...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated wild-type p53 expression induces apoptosis and suppresses tumorigenesis of prostatic tumor cells.
The use of replication-deficient adenoviral vectors in gene therapy may become a powerful method to achieve efficient but safe transfer of anti-tumor agents. Introduction of the wild-type p53 gene into tumor cells has, in general, been associated with growth suppression. In this study, infection of androgen-independent human prostate Tsu-pr1 cells lacking functional p53 alleles resulted in high...
متن کاملTrichostatin A with adenovirus-mediated p53 gene transfer synergistically induces apoptosis in breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.
Although the p53 anti-oncogene is an important target for gene therapy of cancer, some cancers are resistant to p53 gene transfer. For this reason, it is important to find effective drugs to enhance cytotoxic effects of p53 gene transfer. Recent reports demonstrated that some histone deacetylase inhibitors in combination with p53 gene therapy induced apoptosis in certain cancer cells more effic...
