ABSTRACT
Human gastric cancer cells (MKN-45) were transfected with pULB3238 (a plasmid carrying MVMp NS gene). After the NS gene expressed, some of the NS-transfectants were died. The other cells were survived. In comparison with those of control MKN-45, the survived NS- transfected MKN-45 cells had the following characterizations (a). nucleus/cytoplasm ratio reduced; (b). generation time prolonged;(c). adhesion ability between cells increased;(d). cloning efficiency decreased;(e). formation of tumors in nude mice suppressed. To investigate the possible mechanisms of above mentioned change of NS-transfectants, the effect of NS on the expression of some cytokine genes were explored. RNA dot blot indicated that the NS might enhance the expression of IL-l?(2.7 times), IL-1/?(4.6 times) IL- 6 nuclear factor (2.5 times) and had no effect on the expression of IL-6. The results suggested that the antineoplastic activity of parvoviruses may be medicated by NS interfere with the expression of cytokines in the host cells.
