摘要: Previously, we generated a cancer-specific gene therapy system using adenovirus vectors (Adv) conjugated to polyethylene glycol (Adv-PEG). Here, developed novel Adv that targets both tumor tissues and vasculatures after systemic administration by conjugating CGKRK vasculature homing peptide the end of 20-kDa PEG chain (Adv-PEGCGKRK). In primary model, Adv-PEGCGKRK resulted in ~500- 100-fold higher transgene expression than unmodified Adv-PEG, respectively. contrast, liver was about 400-fold lower Adv, almost same as Adv-PEG. We also demonstrated with enhanced vessels. Systemic expressing herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSVtk) (Adv-PEGCGKRK-HSVtk) showed superior antitumor effects against tumors metastases negligible side direct cytotoxic inhibition angiogenesis. These results indicate has potential prototype suitable efficacy safety for cancer metastases.
