METHODS： We constructed the recombinant replication-incornpetent Ad.rnda-7 virus vector and infected it into the human HCC cell line HepG2 and normal liver cell line L02. RT-PCR was performed to detect the rnRNA expressing in cells, by ELISA was used to detect MDA-7/IL-24 protein expression in the culture supernatant. The effect of apoptosis induced by Ad.rnda-7 was confirmed by Hoechst staining and flow cytometry assay with Annexin-V and PI staining. MTT assay was used to determine growth inhibition of HepG2 cells, and cell-cycle and hypodiploidy analyses were performed by flow cytometry. RESULTS： Recombinant replication-defective virus expressing MDA-7/IL-24 was constructed successfully. RTPCR showed that the Ad.rnda-7 could mediate the expression of the exogenous gene MDA-7/IL-24 into HepG2 and L02. The concentration of MDA-7/IL-24 protein in supernatant was 130 pg/mL and 110 pg/mL in Ad.rnda-7-infected L02 and HepG2 ceils, respectively. Ad.mda-7 infection obviously induced apoptosis （from 2.604±0.72% to 33.64±13.2%, P=0.00012） and growth suppression in HepG2 （inhibition ratio IR=68%） and an increase in the percentage of specific cancer cell types at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle （from 6.44% to 32.29%, P〈 0.01）, but not in L02 cells.CONCLUSION： These results confirm selectively induction of apoptosis and growth suppression by the mda-7/ IL-24 gene with replication-incompetent adenovirus vector in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2.展开更多
