    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of transferring DPC4-adenovirus on pancreatic cells. METHODS: The recombined wild DPC4 gene and replication-deficiency adenovirus was transfected into cultured pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells and exograft pancreatic adenocarcinoma at the axillary flank of nude mice. The expression of objective gene was evaluated by flow cytometry and immunohistological chemistry assay. The cell cycle was also measured by flow cytometry. The related data were collected and analyzed with statistical methods. RESULTS: in viro, the suppression rate of transferring DPC4-adenovirus on cultured pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells was 30% on the fourth day. The fluorescence intensity of PD cells, P cells, HD cells, PA (Pc-3-Adenovirus) cells was higher than that of HS766T cells and HA cells (P<0.05). After transfection, PD cells proliferated most slowly, while H and HA proliferated most quickly (P<0.05). Significant difference was seen between the volume of exograft tumor of the controlled group and that of the treatment group (P<0.05). After transfection, the proliferation of cultured pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells was suppressed, the cells of G1 phase increased obviously (P<0.05) while the cells of S phase decreased (P<0.05), although no obvious increase of apoptosic cell number was observed. CONCLUSION: The DPC4-adenovirus can be transfected into pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells effectively. It could suppress the proliferation of pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells in vivo and in vitro.
