Abstract

To investigate the antitumor effect of recombinant Endostatin adenovirus (Ad-E) with carboplatin in mice with Lewis lung cancer. C57BL/6 mice bearing Lewis lung cancer received Ad-E and carboplatin respectively or in combination. The tumor volume, tumor net weight, survival time and side effects were observed. Histological analysis was conducted to assess microvessel density (MVD) within tumor tissue and apoptotic cells were identified using the TUNEL assay. Compared with the control groups, the combination treatment significantly suppressed the tumor growth and prolonged survival time of the mice without obvious side-effects. The histological analysis revealed the combination treatment led to a decreased MVD and increased percent apoptosis in LL/2 tumors. Our studies indicate that a combination of Ad-E with carboplatin can present better antitumor effects without obvious side-effect.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
