Chimeric adenoviral vectors possessing fiber derived from human adenovirus subgroup B (Ad35) have been developed for their high infection efficiency in cell types which are refractory to adenovirus serotype 5 (Subgroup C). The present study constructed an E1B-deleted chimeric oncolytic adenovirus, SG235-TRAIL, which carries a human TRAIL gene expression cassette and whose fiber shaft and knob domains are from serotype Ad35. It was found that SG235-TRAIL preferentially replicated in gastric cancer cell lines, SGC-7901 and BGC-823 compared to in normal human fibroblast BJ cells. Also, when compared with a replication-deficient chimeric vector Ad5/35-TRAIL, SG235-TRAIL mediated a higher level of the transgene expression via viral replication in the cancer cells. Further, because of the more efficient cell-entry and infection, SG235-TRAIL induced stronger cell apoptosis than the Ad5 CRAD vector, ZD55-TRAIL. In addition, SG235-TRAIL in combination with the chemotherapeutic drug, taxol, produced a synergistic cytotoxic effect in cancer cells in vitro without causing significant toxicity to normal cells. In the gastric tumor xenograft mouse model, intratumoral SG235-TRAIL injection produced a significant antitumor effect 14 days after treatment. Pathological examination demonstrated TRAIL expression and associated apoptosis in majority of SG235-TRAIL-treated tumor cells. These results suggest that SG235-TRAIL is a potential novel, efficient anti-cancer agent, and in combination with taxol, it would be even more useful with considerably low toxic side effects.
具有源自人B亚组腺病毒(Ad35)纤维的嵌合腺病毒载体,因其在对5型腺病毒(C亚组)难治的细胞类型中具有高感染效率而被开发出来。本研究构建了一种E1B缺失的嵌合溶瘤腺病毒SG235-TRAIL,其携带人TRAIL基因表达盒,且其纤维杆和纤维结结构域来自Ad35血清型。研究发现,与正常人成纤维细胞BJ细胞相比,SG235-TRAIL在胃癌细胞系SGC-7901和BGC-823中优先复制。此外,与复制缺陷型嵌合载体Ad5/35-TRAIL相比,SG235-TRAIL通过癌细胞中的病毒复制介导了更高水平的转基因表达。此外,由于更有效的细胞进入和感染,SG235-TRAIL比Ad5 CRAD载体ZD55-TRAIL诱导更强的细胞凋亡。另外,SG235-TRAIL与化疗药物紫杉醇联合使用,在体外对癌细胞产生协同细胞毒性作用,而对正常细胞无明显毒性。在胃肿瘤异种移植小鼠模型中,瘤内注射SG235-TRAIL在治疗14天后产生了显著的抗肿瘤作用。病理检查显示,大多数经SG235-TRAIL处理的肿瘤细胞中存在TRAIL表达及相关凋亡。这些结果表明,SG235-TRAIL是一种潜在的新型高效抗癌药物,与紫杉醇联合使用时,其毒性副作用更低,将更有用。
