Adenovirus-mediated Transfer of p53 and p16Inhibiting Proliferating Activity of Human Bladder Cancer Cell EJin vitro and in vivo

摘要

To evaluate the effects of adenovirus (Ad) - mediated transfer of p5 3and p16 on hum an bladder cancer cells EJ,EJwere transfected with Ad- p5 3and Ad- p16 . Cell growth,m orphologi- cal change,cell cycle,apoptosis were measured using MTT assay,flow cytom etry,cloning form a- tion,im munocytochemical assays.Ad- p16 or Ad- p5 3alone could inhibit the proliferating activity of EJcells in vitro.Ad- p5 3could induce apoptosis of partial EJcells.G1arrest was observed72 h after infection with Ad- p16 ,but apoptosis was not obvious.The transfer of Ad- p16 and Ad- p5 3 could significantly inhibit the growth of EJcells,decrease the cloning formation rate and induce apoptosis of large num ber of EJcells. The occurrence time of subcutaneous tumor was delayed and the tum or volume in 4 weeks was dim inished by using Ad- p5 3com bined with Ad- p16 and the dif- ference was significant com pared with using Ad- p5 3or Ad- p16 alone.It was suggested that the transfer of wild- type p5 3and p16 could significantly inhibit the growth of human bladder cancer in vitro and in vivo.
