タイトル The dominant negative H-ras mutant, N116Y, suppresses growth of metastatic human pancreatic cancer cells in the liver of nude mice.
ジャーナル Gene Ther
Abstract In pancreatic cancer, the mutation of c-K-ras is a critical event of tumor growth and metastasis. We have previously demonstrated a dominant negative effect of N116Y on the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. To evaluate the potential of N116Y for suppressing the metastatic growth of pancreatic tumor cells, we made a replication-deficient recombinant N116Y adenovirus driven by the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) promoter (Ad CEA-N116Y). We demonstrated that the expression of N116Y, growth inhibition, and apoptotic death induction were all specific to pancreatic cancer cell lines (PCI-35 and PCI-43) that were promoter positive, whereas no growth retardation was observed in human embryonic pancreas-derived cell line 1C3D3 after Ad CEA-N116Y infection. We examined the effect of Ad CEA-N116Y on the metastatic growth of PCI-43 colonies in liver, which was generated by tumor injection into the spleen of nude mice. The results showed that Ad CEA-N116Y effectively reduced the number of metastatic colonies without any complication by injecting intrasplenically 5 days after tumor cell inoculation. Thus, N116Y can selectively suppress the metastatic growth of pancreatic tumor cell by using the CEA promoter-driven adenovirus vector indicating that N116Y gene therapy may be potentially useful for the treatment of pancreatic cancer patients with liver micrometastasis.
