摘要
Human telomerase reverse transcriptase（hTERT） activity was detected in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma celI（CNE） but not in human normal lung fibroblas t（CCD-11Lu）. Recombinant adenoviruses Ad-CMV-TK-enh and Ad-hTERT-TK-enh were constructed and infected into normal fibroblasts and nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Ad-CMV-TK-enh with 100 μmol/L of ganciclovir（GCV） caused 87% of CCD-11Lu cells death and 91% of CNE cells death, Ad-hTERT-TK-enh with 100 μmol/L of GCV caused 24% of CCD-11Lu cells death and 79% of CNE cells death. These results indicate that the Ad-hTERT-TK-enh with GCV may be a useful method in suppressing tumor growth in targeted nasopharyngeal carcinoma gene therapy.
