| Research Abstract |
Aiming gene therapy for "unvisible cancer" such as disseminating or transferring malignant microtumors, we developed a "single-type, cancer-specific adenovirus vector with high-level expression" possessing cell specificity and high expression efficiency. For addition of high specificity, we used a cancer-specific promoter. Construction methods of two vector systems, a "stuffer-deletion type" and a novel "excisional-expression type", were established. Each system contains two expression units: a "switch unit" expressing Cre under the control of a cell-specific promoter with very low activity, and a "target unit" expressing under the control of very high activity depending on the Cre activity. During the process, it was found that Cre was expressed at a leak and influenced on production of the purpose vector. Therefore, we produced and screened dominant negatives and shRNA against Cre. Using them, we succeeded in the development of high-purity production of the "excisional-expression type" vector. Because the vector established here showed high expression efficiency selectively to cancer cells, we then established a model muse system for examining effective treatment to disseminated cancers. In addition, we also analyzed RMCE (recombinase-mediated cassette exchange) reaction of Cre and FLP, and succeeded in establishment of novel production method, which enabled us to produce many vectors simultaneously.
