Abstract
It has been suggested that abnormal Ras function is important in the carcinogenesis and progression of bladder cancer. Our aim was to investigate the efficacy of transurethral inoculation of an adenovirus expressing the dominant negative H-ras mutant N116Y against orthotopically implanted human bladder-cancer cells in nude mice. We used a replication-defective adenovirus vector containing the beta-galactosidase gene (AdCMV-LacZ) as a control and the N116Y gene (AdCMV-N116Y) as the therapeutic vector under the transcriptional control of the cytomegalovirus promoter. We initially investigated the in vitro growth-suppressive effects of AdCMV-N116Y on 2 human bladder-cancer cell lines, KU-7 and UMUC-2. Thereafter, we examined the inhibitory effects of AdCMV-N116Y on the 2 orthotopically implanted cell lines in nude mice. Intravesically created, orthotopic human bladder cancers were established in female KSN athymic nude mice with 1x 10(7) cancer cells. Then, 2, 3 and 4 days following implantation, 1 x 10(9) pfu of AdCMV-LacZ or AdCMV-N116Y were administered transurethrally. In vitro growth assays revealed significant growth suppression (>95%) with apoptosis of target cells treated with AdCMV-N116Y compared to AdCMV-LacZ. Transureth...Continue Reading
