ABSTRACT
AIM:
The aim of our study was to develop an effective gene delivery system for ovarian cancer gene therapy.METHODS:
The expression of heparin sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) and integrins alpha(upsilon)beta(3) and alpha(upsilon)beta(5) were analyzed with flow cytometry on 2 human ovarian cancer cell lines (OVCAR-3 and SKOV-3ip). The gene transduction efficiencies were evaluated with recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV)2-green fluorescent protein or rAAV2-lactase Z followed by flow cytometry or cytohistochemistry staining. The effect of 17beta-estradiol on ovarian cancer cell proliferation, HSPG, the expressions of integrins alpha(upsilon)beta(3) and alpha(upsilon)beta(5), and adeno-associated viral vector (AAV)2-mediated gene transduction were determined.RESULTS:
In the present study, we found (1) a variation in HSPG and the expressions of integrins alpha(upsilon)beta(3) and alpha(upsilon)beta(5) between OVCAR-3 and SKOV-3ip; (2) that 17beta-estradiol was shown to significantly stimulate cell proliferation and integrin beta(5) expression in certain ovarian cancer cell lines; and (3) integrintargeted A520/N584RGD-rAAV2, which has alternative interactivity with integrins and abrogates the binding capacity HSPG, showed much higher gene transduction efficiency in ovarian cancer cells than rAAV2 in the presence/absence of 17beta-estradiol. Moreover, this RGD-modified rAAV2 exerted more efficient transduction in ovarian cancer cells in response to 17beta-estradiol.CONCLUSION:
Our findings implied that A520/N584RGD-rAAV2 may offer great potential for ovarian cancer treatment in vivo.
