Suicide Gene Therapy of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Cervical Carcinoma In Vitro

Suicide gene therapy induced by the Herpes Simplex Virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovir (HSV-tk/GCV) system has been utilized to successfully treat various cancers. We describe TransfeX-mediated transfection of pCMV.Luc into HeLa cervical carcinoma and HSC-3, FaDu, and H357 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines in the presence of 10% serum. This method has proved to be highly efficient, with low nonspecific cytotoxicity. The plasmid pNGVL1-tk encoding HSV-tk under the control of the CMV promoter was delivered to the cells in vitro via TransfeX, a cationic liposomal reagent, followed by treatment with ganciclovir. The Alamar Blue cell viability assay was used to determine levels of the suicide effect.
