| Research Abstract |
Anti-tumor effects of a soluble form dominant negative of the type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) designated as 486/STOP were evaluated in CaOV- 3 human ovarian cancer cells by establishing stable transformants overexpressing 486/STOP, and by administration of 486/STOP recombinant protein. Expression of 486/STOP was detected from total cell lysates as well as conditioned media collected from stable transformants. In stable transformants, growth in monolayer was slightly retarded, and anchorage- independent growth in vitro and tumorigenicity in vivo were markedly inhibited. Addition of conditioned media from 486/STOP cells inhibited anchorage-independent growth of parental cells. Although tumorigenicity of parental cells in vivo was abrogated when they were co-cultured in monolayer with 486/STOP cells over 48h prior to injection to nude mice, co-injection of parental cells and 486/STOP cells without pre-culture was not successful. In contrast, administration of 486/STOP partially purified recombinant protein inhibited tumorigenicity of parental cells in vivo. Since 486/STOP cells result in massive apoptosis in vivo within 48h, usage of a recombinant protein has a great advantage to utilize its unique bystander effect in vivo for clinical application.
