Procaspase-3 enhances disuicide gene therapy on human ovarian cancer
Published in Women's Health Weekly, March 16th, 2006
"Because the efficacy of genetic prodrug activation therapy (GPAT) using herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (tk)/ganciclovir (GCV) or Escherichia coli cytosine deaminase (cd)/5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) is not satisfied in early clinical trials and the mechanism of both the GPATs have been shown to lead to the activation of cell apoptotic pathway, we hypothesized that coexpression of procaspase-3, a central downstream executioner of apoptotic pathways, with cd-tk gene leads to...
