The Role of Recombinant p53 Adenovirus Vector in the Growth of Lung Adenocarcinoma Cell Line GLC-82 / 中国肿瘤生物治疗杂志

ABSTRACT

Wild-type p53 has been shown to be involved in several aspects of cell growth control. In order to study the role of wild-type p53 in the growth of lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC-82, recombinant p53 adenovirus vector and the control LacZ gene were constructed. Infection conditions were detected by biochemistry staining for LacZ s expression product ?-gal, immunohistochemical analysis for p53 protein expression, and PCR technique for the infected cells. The cell growth rate and cell cycle were analysed with flow cytometry. The results showed that the constructed recombinant adenovirus vector could infect cells with high level expression of (?-gal and p53 protein and p53 cDNA could be found in the infected cells. The wild-type p53 could inhibit GLC-82 cell proliferation and cause cellular death. These results indicated that wild-type p53 gene mediated by adenovirus vector might be used in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.
