Restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing analysis revealed that CAV vp3 gene was correctly inserted into the blank vector pcDNA3. After LipofectAMINE TM mediated transfection in vitro with pcDNA vp3 and pcDNA3 respectively, the total mRNA was extracted from liver carcinoma cell lines HepG2 and diploid cell line L 02, and RT PCR was performed afterward. The results of RT PCR suggested that vp3 gene was expressed in these two cell lines. At the same time, using in situ apoptotic detection assay, TUNEL kits, the apoptotic cells were found in pcDNA vp3 transfected HepG2, but not in mock transfected cell lines. VP3 could induce cell death by apoptosis in cancer cell lines, but not in diploid cell lines. All the results indicated that CAV vp3 gene, a potential therapeutic agents, has the potential of being used for cancer treatment.展开更多

The mixture was injected subcutaneously into Balb/C mice. Some days later, the mice were killed and the solid tumor weighed. The antitumor efficiency was evaluated. The manners of VP3 protein in vivo inducing tumor cell death were identified by using TUNEL assay. All the results suggested that the injection of pcDNA-vp3 and H22 mixture resulted in a significant reduction of tumor growth in mice when compared with the results of control groups. TUNEL assay revealed that VP3 induced apoptosis in vivo. All these indicated that CAV vp3 might be a potential new gene in reducing the growth rate of tumor cells in liver carcinoma or in other kind of solid tumors in vivo.展开更多
