| Research Abstract |
We studied the cancer specific antigens expressed in the several organ tumors. In pancreatic cancer, 90% were positive for RCAS1 gene. Moreover, overexpression of RCAS1 gene was correlated with the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer, extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma and esophageal cancer. Caveolin-1 expression was also correlated with with the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer.
We made a replication-deficient recombinant KLAKLAK2 or Bax adenovirus driven by the RCAS1promoter (Ad RCAS1-KLAKLAK2, Ad RCAS1-Bax) or the SCCA promoter (Ad SCCA-KLAKLAK2). We demonstrated that the expression of KLAKLAK2 and growth inhibition were all specific to the cancer cell lines that were SCCA positive, whereas no growth retardation was observed in human normal cell lines after Ad SCCA-KLAKLAK2 infection.
