چکیده

We previously reported that cationic multilamellar liposome containing the human interferon-β (huIFN-β) gene (IAB-1) demonstrated significant cytotoxic effect in the NC65 human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell line. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of IAB-1-induced apoptosis and cytotoxicity in RCC cells. Remarkable in vitro cytotoxic and apoptosis-inducing effects of IAB-1 against NC65 cells were observed by a colorimetric method and TUNEL staining, respectively. In contrast, treatment of NC65 cells with exogenously added huIFN-β protein induced low-level cytotoxicity without apoptosis. Neutralizing antibodies against huIFN-β significantly suppressed the cytotoxic effect of huIFN-β protein, but they were unable to block the effect of IAB-1. Cytotoxicity assays using transwell plates revealed that NC65 cells treated with IAB-1 did not secrete cytotoxic soluble factors other than IFN-β. Substantial enhancement of interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) activity of NC65 cells by IAB-1 was demonstrated by promoter reporter assays. In addition, immunofluorescence using confocal microscopy revealed the intracellular expression of IFN-β and its receptor induced by IAB-1. The induction of c-Myc by IAB-1 was suggested by a cDNA macroarray and was confirmed by western blot analysis. These findings indicate that IAB-1 induces significant cytotoxicity and apoptosis in NC65 cells, possibly through enhanced ISRE activity, that is associated with increased intracellular localization of huIFN-β and IFN-receptor. Our data support the potential clinical application of IAB-1 gene therapy for RCC resistant to IFN.

Background and aim: Cytokines are a large family of protein messengers. These proteins induce various cellular responses. Janus kinases (JAKs) are mediators of cytokine, activated JAKs phosphorylate signal transducers, and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins that regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Aberrant JAK/STAT signaling is involved in the oncogenesis of se...

Significant antitumoral activity of cationic multilamellar liposomes containing human IFN-beta gene against human renal cell carcinoma.

PURPOSE Immunotherapy is the most effective treatment against metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the response rate is approximately 15%. More effective therapy is, therefore, needed for patients with metastatic RCC. We then examined the antitumor effect of cationic multilamellar liposome containing human IFN-beta (huIFN-beta) gene (IAB-1) against RCC. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Concentr...

The Role of Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Rat Primordial Germ Cells Reprogramming and Induction into Pluripotent State

 Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) are unipotent precursors of the gametes. PGCs can give rise to a type of pluripotent stem cells in vitro that are called embryonic germ (EG) cells. PGCs can also acquire such pluripotency in vivo and generate teratomas. Under specific culture conditions, PGCs can be reprogrammed to embryonic germ cells which are capable of expression of key pluripotency marker...
