| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Suicide gene therapy based on the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSVtk)/ganciclovir (GCV) is an efficient strategy for treating malignant gliomas. In the present study, we evaluated treatment with multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring (Muse) cells, endogenous non- tumorigenic pluripotent-like stem cells, as carriers of the HSVtk gene. HSVtk gene-transduced human Muse cells (Muse-tk cells) showed a potent in vivo bystander effect and migratory activity toward glioma cells. Intracranial U87 gliomas in nude mouse brains injected intratumorally with Muse-tk cells followed by intraperitoneal GCV administration were significantly reduced in size within 2 weeks. These findings suggest that intratumoral Muse-tk cell injection followed by systemic GCV administration is safe and effective, and that allogeneic Muse-tk cell-medicated suicide gene therapy for malignant glioma is clinically feasible.
