ABSTRACT
Transcription of the p53 gene can regulate progression of apoptosis in a wide variety of tissues. Three categories of human hepatocyte culture have been used to show the initiation of apoptosis after treatment with p53-bearing adenovirus. Chang liver cells are derived from normal liver tissue and express native p53, whereas hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-derived cell lines were Hep3B (p53-deleted) and PLC/PRF/5 (p53-mutant). Cultures were infected with Ad-p53 (15 particles per cell; 36 hours), and after treatment, morphological changes in all cell categories were observed by electron microscopy. Infection was evident in the cytoplasm of all treated cell types after entry across the plasma membrane viruses translocated and came to rest surrounding and adjacent to nuclei, cytoplasm proximal to nuclear membranes became dense with virus- and membrane-derived debris, but intact viruses did not enter nuclei. Apoptosis, recognized morphologically by characteristic chromatin and cytoplasmic condensation, occurred more frequently in HCC-derived cells, and the ultimate fate of apoptotic bodies was phagocytosis and degradation by neighboring cells.
