  • The object of this study was to develop a gene therapy strategy for ovarian cancer. We have previously shown that AV with a L-plastin (LP) promoter infects breast and ovarian cancer cells and expressed ${\beta}$-galactosidase cDNA in preference to normal fibroblast cells and hematopoietic cells. We now report on the cytotoxicity of Ad.LP.CD, an AV carrying a CD cDNA which converts the pro-drug, 5-Fluorocytosine (5-FC) into the toxic drug 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). Infection of Ad.LP.CD into either 293 cells or ovarian cancer cells generated the functional CD as measured by HPLC analysis. Using a ratio of AV to OVCAR3 cell of 100 and a 5-FC concentration of 100 ${\mu}$M, we achieve an over 95 % of cell growth inhibition. We are using flow cytometry analysis for ${\beta}$ -galactosidase and ovarian cancer associated folate receptor to screen primary ascites samples for infectivity after infection with an adenoviral vector, i.e., Ad.LP.LacZ. This vector system may be of value in the treatment of microscopic disease of ovarian cancer in the peritoneal cavity.

  • To evaluate the diagnostic significance of p16 overexpression in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we analyzed p16 status and growth inhibitory patterns by p16 overexpression in HCC cell lines having different pRE status. SKHep1 and SNU449 cells show homozygous deletion of p16. The p16 gene in SNU398 cell is inactivated at posttranscription level. Adenovira1-p16 (Ad-p16) infection inhibits the cell growth in Hep3B, SNU398, and SNU449. Failure of growth inhibition in SKHepl results from the low transduction efficiency of adenovirus. The p16-mediated growth inhibition shows G 1 phase arrest in pRE-positive SNU449 but not in pRE-negative Hep3B. These results suggest that therapeutic efficacy of p16 gene might be considered on the transduction efficiency and the toxicity of adenoviral vector. Beside, growth inhibitory effect of p16 could be exerted through either pRE-dependent or -independent pathway.

  • Recombinant adenovirus vector systems with strong promoters have been used to achieve high level production of recombinant protein. However, this overexpression system cause some problems such as disturbance of cell physiology and increment of cellular toxicity. Here, we showed a tetracycline-regulated adenovirus expression vector system. Our results showed that the expression level of transgene(p-53) was high and easily regulated by tetracycline. In addition, the maximal gene expression level of the tetracycline-controlled gene expression system was higher than that of the wild type CMV promoter system. Therefore, tetracycline-regulated adenoviral vector system could be applicable for regulatory high-level expression of toxic gene. Also, this system will be useful for functional studies and gene therapy.

  • Redox Factor-1 (Ref-1)은 손상된 DNA의 복구 및 많은 세포내 산화환원에 민감한 transcription factors의 활성화에 기여하는 양면의 역할을 수행하는 단백질이다. 본 연구에서는 혈관내피세포에서의 nitric oxide (NO) 생성과정에서 Ref-1의 역할을 살펴보았다. Ref-1의 세포내 과발현을 위하여 adenoviral vector를 사용하였고 bradykinin으로 자극한 혈관내피세포에서 생성되는 NO 측정을 위하여 fluorophore DAF-2를 사용하였다. Ref-1 과 발현은 bradykinin으로 자극한 혈관내피세포의 NO 생성을 증가시켰다. 또한 자극되지 않은 Ref-1 과발현 세포는 viral vector로 감염되지 않은 그리고 control로 사용한 AdD1312로 감염된 세포보다 높은 fluorescence intensity를 나타내었다. 이와 비슷하게, Ref-1 과발현은 bradykinin으로 자극한 세포뿐만 아니라 자극하지 않은 세포에서도 감염되지 않은 그리고 AdD1312로 감염된 세포와 비교할 때 endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)의 활성을 크게 증가시켰다. 이는Ref-1 자신이 eNOS의 효소활성을 직접 조절할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 결론적으로 Ref-1이 혈관계에서 NO생성에 의해 기인되는 endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation에서 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 시사한다.

  • 유전자치료W터의 주입시 생식세포를 통한 다음 세대로의 전달 가능성은 안전성 측면에서 관심을 중대시키고 있다. 특히 전립선암이나 난소암의 치료시 바이러스를 생식기관에 인접한 부위에 주입하여야 하므로 그 가능성이 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유전자치료에 많이 이용되는 아데노바이러스를 매개로하여 tumor suppressor 유전자인 p53을 발현하는 아데노바이러스 벡터를 제조하여 이를 투여시 생식장기를 포함한 주요장기조직에의 분포와 germ cell을 통한 차세대로의 전달 가능성 등의 생식독성을 조사하였다. In vivo biodistribution study를 위하여 $Ad-CMV-{\beta}-gal$흑은 Ad-CMV-p53를 마우스 암 수의 복강에 주사한 후 생식장기를 포함한 주요 장기에서 아데노바이러스 유래 DNA검출 및 RNA발현 여부를PCR과 RT-PCR로 각각 확인하였다. 그 결과 간 및 비장과 같은 일반 장기에서도 주입한 외부유전자의 DNA가 검출되거나RNA가 발현되었을 뿐만 아니라, 정낭, 전립선, 부고환, 난소 및 자궁 등의 생식장기에서도 주입한 외부유전자가 검출되거나 발현되는 것으로 나타났다. Real-time PCR을 이용하여 각 장기에서의 투여된 아데노바이러스 벡터는 시간 의존적으로 감소되는 것을 정량하였다. Ad-CMV-p53를 암 수 마우스의 난소와 고환에 각각 직접 주사하여 교배시킨 후 그 후세대의 DNA를 분리하여 주입한 아데노바이러스 유래의 DNA를 검색한 결과, 어떠한 차세대에서도 주입한 아데노바이러스 유래의 DNA가 검출되지 않았다. 한편 생식장기에서의 PCR및 RT-PCR signal유래 vector의 위치를 확인하기 위해 매우 감도가 높은 in-situ PCR로 조사한 결과 고환의 경우 간질조직으로의 전달은 일어나나 정세관 내에는 아데노바이러스 벡터가 전달되지 않으며, 난소에서도 아데노바이러스벡터는 난포내의 난자에 전달되지 않고 기질조직에 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 복제 능력 이 결여된 아데노바이러스를 매개로 한 유전자치료제는 생식 장기에서 검출되더라도 다음 세대로 전달될 가능성은 대단히 낮음을 제시한다.

  • For many years, it has been demonstrated that neurotrophins regulate the adult nervous system, implicating their potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. We generated adenoviral vectors encoding brain-derived neutotrophin factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT3) and tested either separately or together for the ability to induce differentiation of neuronal precursor cells with two different origins. Separate transduction of adenovirus delivering BDNF (BDNF-Ad) or NT3 (NT3-Ad) induced the neuronal differentiation in hippocampal and cortical precursor cells. NT3-Ad infected cells extended short neurites, whereas BDNF-Ad infected cells had longer neurites. In the early differentiation of hippocampal precursor cells, simultaneous infection of BDNF-Ad and NT3-Ad promoted further differentiation and neurite elongation compared with the separate infection of each virus. In contrast, simultaneous infection did not show the synergistic effect in the cortical precursor cells, suggesting that the neurotrophins play distinct roles in different regions of the brain. However, the numbers of neurites and spines per differentiated cells were markedly increased in cortical as well as hippocampal precursor cells, indicating the promotion of efficient neurite elongation and formation of dendritic spine, when BDNF-Ad and NT3-Ad were co-infected. These results suggest more studies in the effect of a combinatorial use of neurotrophins on different sites of brain need to be carried out to develop gene therapy protocols for neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Tumor cell invasion and metastasis are a complex multistep process that involves the degradation of extracellular matrix proteins by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) acts as a negative regulator of matrix metalloproteinase and thus prevents tumor cell invasion and metastasis by preserving extracellular matrix integrity.(omitted)

  • One of the major limitations in using adenoviral vector for gene therapy is inefficient infection of host cells. The presence of coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and ${\alpha}$-integrin on cell surfaces is required for efficient adenovirus infection. In this study, we investigated the effect of trichostatin A, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, on transfection efficiency after transduction of adenovirus mediated p16$\^$INK4a/ gene transfer. In our previous study, p16$\^$INK4a/ tumor suppressor gene transfer in the non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549 cells) by transduction of recombinant adenovirus (Ad5CMV-p16) resulted in significant inhibition of cancer cell proliferation.
