After the integration and expression of NS-1 gene, some of the transfectantsdied, while others remained alive, but the growth featuresof survived cells were changed. For further study on theantineoplastic function of parvoviral NS-1 protein in vivo,transgenic mice carrying NS-1 genes were established byconventional method. Among 4 founders, one of them wasfound to be able to transmit the transgene to around 50%of their offsprings. RT-PCR was performed to indicate theexpression of NS-1 gene in transgenic mice and its mRNAappeared in a variety of tissues. The expression of integrated NS-1 gene may correlate with the decreased incidence of tumor induced in vivo by chemical carcinogens.展开更多

Methods: The methylation of caspase-8 was measured with methylation specific PCR (MSP) and the antitomor capability of TRAIL to human gastric cancer cells was determined with MTT. Results: No methylation of caspase-8 in the human gastric cancer cells was found. The sensitivity of 5 lines of gastric cancer cells to the antitumor activity of TRAIL was different. The administration of the demethylation agent 5-Aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) increased the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to TRAIL but did not change the methylation status of caspase-8 promoter in gastric cancer cells. Conclusion: 5-Aza-CdR increases the sensitivity of most of gastric cancer cells to TRAIL but caspase-8 is not involved in the antitumor activity of TRAIL.展开更多
