USE OF MELANOMA DIFFERENTIATION ASSOCIATED GENE (mda-7) FOR REVERSING CANCEROUS PHENOTYPE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for reversing the cancerous phenotype of a cancer cell and inducing apoptosis in a tumor cell.SOLUTION: A specific amount of nucleic acid having a melanoma differentiation associated gene (mda-7) is used for reversing the cancerous phenotype of the cancer cell or inducing the apoptosis to the tumor cell, the nucleic acid is included by a vector selected from the group consisting of adenovirus vector, adeno-associated virus vector, Epstein-Barr virus vector, vaccinia virus vector.
