Virotherapy employing conditionally replicative adenovirus (CRAd) represents a novel targeted strategy for the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. In this study, we explored the potential influence of E3 region, which encodes several TRAIL-inhibiting proteins (E3-6.7K, E3-10.4K/14.5K and E3-14.7K), on CRAd mediated cytotoxicity to HCC cells. Two E1B-55 kDa-deleted CRAds containing E3 region (Ad.ΔE1B) or no E3 region (Ad.ΔE1B.ΔE3) were fabricated. Ad.ΔE1B.ΔE3 exhibited higher cytocidal… 

Homologous recombination-based adenovirus vector system for tumor cell-specific gene delivery

The results in present study suggest the need for in vivo antitumor study using these new dual-Ad vector systems based on the homologous recombination, HRAVS and EHRAVS, which consists of Ad.IR and Ad.EGFP/E1a.

Adenoviral gene therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma: a review

An update of what has been accomplished in the field of adenoviral gene therapy and its application in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment is provided to provide an opportunity to improve the quality of life and survival of HCC patients.

Adenovirus E3 proteins help tumors to evade innate and adaptive immune responses

Influence of E3 region on conditionally replicative adenovirus mediated cytotoxicity in hepatocellular carcinoma cells is studied.

Desipramine induces apoptosis in rat glioma cells via endoplasmic reticulum stress-dependent CHOP pathway

Results revealed that the CHOP-dependent endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway is responsible for DMI-induced apoptosis in C6 cells.

Dichloroacetate shifts the metabolism from glycolysis to glucose oxidation and exhibits synergistic growth inhibition with cisplatin in HeLa cells.

The specific apoptotic mechanism of DCA as distinguished from the cisplatin may be partly responsible for the synergy and further in vivo study on combination chemotherapy of the two agents in cervical cancer xenografts in mice is warranted.

Adenovirus E1A Oncogene Expression in Tumor Cells Enhances Killing by TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL)1

Expression of the adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) E1A oncogene sensitizes cells to apoptosis by TNF-α and Fas-ligand. Because TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) kills cells in a similar manner

FUNCTIONS AND MECHANISMS OF ACTION OF THE ADENOVIRUS E3 PROTEINS

Various proteins encoded in the adenovirus (Ad) E3 transcription unit protect cells from killing mediated by cytotoxic T cells and death-inducing cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), Fas ligand, and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL).

Aberrant expression and function of TCF4 in the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cell line BEL-7402

The function of human T-cell transcription factor-4 (TCF4), a key factor of Wnt signaling pathway, on the proliferation of HCC cell line BEL-7402 was studied and indicated that TCF 4 might be another key factor in Wnt pathway involved in HCC cells proliferation and TCF4 could be an effective therapeutic target for suppressing the growth of hepatocellular cancers.

Expression of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand in human hepatocellular carcinoma.

TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, TRAIL, expressed on the surface of HCC cells by cytokines or cytostatic drugs might contribute to an alternative mechanism that enables tumors to evade immune surveillance by inducing apoptosis of activated human lymphocytes.
