项目摘要

The design of double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR)-depended replicating adenovirus is described as a new approach to cancer gene therapy. The virus-associated type I (VAI) RNA cannot activate PKR, although it binds to the protein and thereby prevents its activation by authentic dsRNA. In this study, we engineered the conditionally replicative adenovirus (CRAD) with the modification of VAI gene and investigated the utility of CRAD targeted to pancreatic cancer. We constructed a modificated VAI gene (mVAI) which the central domain was deleted. This mVAI was replaced its own endogenous VAI gene harboring in adenovirus type 5 genome (Adv-mVAI). When the cytolytic activity of Adv-mVAI was evaluated, it failed to inhibit the growth of the pancreatic cancer cell; BxPC-3 with wild K-ras. Interestingly, we demonstrated that the transduction of active-formed ras into BxPC-3 cells by the infection of retroviruses expressing H-ras/V12 was sufficient to induce the cytolytic activity of Adv-mVAI. In addition, the cytolytic activity of Adv-mVAI was observed in the pancreatic cancer cell; AsPC-1 with mutant K-ras. However, this cytolytic activity of Adv-mVAI was reduced after interferon treatment.These data indicate that the activation of ras and interferon will be useful for controlling the anti-tumor effect of adenovirus harboring the variant VAI gene.

双链RNA激活蛋白激酶（PKR）依赖性复制腺病毒的设计被描述为癌症基因治疗的新方法。病毒相关 I 型 (VAI) RNA 不能激活 PKR，尽管它与蛋白质结合，从而阻止其被真正的 dsRNA 激活。在本研究中，我们设计了修饰VAI基因的条件复制腺病毒（CRAD），并研究了CRAD针对胰腺癌的效用。我们构建了一个修饰的 VAI 基因（mVAI），其中中心结构域被删除。该 mVAI 取代了 5 型腺病毒基因组中其自身的内源 VAI 基因 (Adv-mVAI)。当评估Adv-mVAI的细胞溶解活性时，它未能抑制胰腺癌细胞的生长； BxPC-3 与野生 K-ras。有趣的是，我们证明通过表达 H-ras/V12 的逆转录病毒感染将活性形成的 ras 转导至 BxPC-3 细胞中足以诱导 Adv-mVAI 的细胞溶解活性。此外，在胰腺癌细胞中观察到Adv-mVAI的细胞溶解活性； AsPC-1 与突变型 K-ras。然而，Adv-mVAI的这种细胞溶解活性在干扰素处理后降低。这些数据表明ras和干扰素的激活将有助于控制携带变异VAI基因的腺病毒的抗肿瘤作用。
