摘要
It is well-documented that interleukin-24 （IL-24） can induce apoptosis in a large spectrum of human cancer derived cell lines, but the effect of MDA-7/IL-24 gene transfer on mouse melanoma cells remains unknown. The eukaryotic expressing plasmid of IL-24 （pEGFP-IL-24） was constructed by DNA recombination technique. The recombination plasmid and empty vector were transfected into B16F0 cells and the expressions of IL-24 were determined by LSM, the proliferation of B16F0 cells was measured by MTT assay, and apoptosis rate and cell-cycle distribution of B16F0 cells were measured by FCM. The inhibitory effect of IL-24 gene transfection in mouse solid tumor was observed and measured. Compared with the control, the proliferation of B16F0 cells was inhibited by transfection with pEGFP-IL-24 and the G2/M phase of the transfected cells was also increased. Moreover, the percentage of mice with detectable tumor was decreased after inoculated with B16F0 cells transfected with pEGFP-IL-24. Growth rate of tumor in mouse model was significantly inhibited in IL-24 gene therapy group compared with the control. Proliferation of B16F0 cells was inhibited by pEGFP-IL-24 transfection. The intratumor injection of pEGFP-IL-24 could inhibit the growth of solid tumor in mice remarkably. Cellular ＆ Molecular Immunology.
