Abstract

The Escherichia coli purine nucleoside phospho­rylase/2-fluoro-2-deoxyadenosine (ePNP/F-dAdo) suicide system has demonstrated a powerful killing and bystander effects on tumor cells. However, several drawbacks to this approach remain to be resolved, such as the side-effects and the low efficiency of ePNP-targeted expression. A human telo-merase reverse transcriptase promoter-driven Semliki Forest virus-based DNA vector (pShT-ePNP) with high expression of the ePNP gene was constructed. Live attenuated Salmonella typhimurium 7207 (SL7207) was used initially as a vehicle to targetly transfer the large alphavirus vector into tumor cells. The in vitro quantitative analysis showed ~2-fold higher green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression for pShT-GFP than for conventional cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter-mediated eukaryotic expression plasmids such as pIRES-GFP and the targeted expression of the ePNP gene in tumor cells was also detected by RT-PCR. After F-dAdo addition, the enzymatic conversion of F-Ado into 2-fluoroadmine (F-Ade) was tested by HPLC. Cell cytotoxicity assays showed that the significant inhibitory effect of the SL/pShT-ePNP system on tumor cells was dose- and time-dependent. Following oral administration, recombinant bacteria targetly allocated within the solid tumor and the expression of ePNP and GFP genes in vivo were detected by RT-PCR or observed by fluorescence microscopy. SL/pShT-ePNP and F-dAdo were also found to exert powerful therapeutic effects in combination against tumor growth and for prolonging the lifespan of tumor-bearing mice. These findings suggest that the SL/pShT-ePNP system may serve as a powerful strategy for tumor therapy.
