Effectiveness and mode of therapeutic gene delivery in vivo as well as biological safety of such transfer must be improved before widespread application of gene therapy in the clinic becomes possible. Most research has so far focused on recombinant viral delivery systems. Clinical future seems to belong, however, to nonviral delivery systems. Such systems feature DNA complexed to lipid, protein, peptide or polymeric carriers with ligands allowing in vivo tissue targeting by the complex and nuclear translocation of the exogene. Nonviral gene carrier systems are discussed together with strategies of destroying cancer cells.
A tumour therapy is proposed based on attenuated Salmonella typhimurium VNP20047 expressing the Escherichia coli cytosine deaminase gene. VNP20047 was administered intravenously to B16(F10) melanoma-bearing C57BL/6 mice. VNP20047 proliferated within tumours and livers regardless of the initial inoculum dose. After 10 days the number of bacteria increased in livers up to 4.2 x 106 cfu/g and decreased in tumours down to 5.9 x 106 cfu/g. VNP20047 at 1 x 105 cfu/mouse, when combined with 5-fluorocytosine, inhibited tumour growth by 85% without prolonging animal survival. Histology studies revealed severe lesions in tumours and livers. These data suggest that S. typhimurium VNP20047 induced inflammatory responses, even though the strain was attenuated.
The study aimed to check the effectiveness of anticancer therapy combining a vascular-disruptive drug (combretastatin phosphate, CA4P) and a liposomal formulation of a chemotherapeutic (doxorubicin). CA4P was synthesized in our laboratory according to a previously described procedure. The antivascular drug and long-circulating doxorubicin-loaded liposomes were used to treat B16-F10 murine melanoma experimental tumors. Seventy-four hours after drug administration, a decrease in the number of tumor blood vessels was apparent and necrotic areas within tumors were visible. Combination therapy consisting of alternate administrations of CA4P and liposomal doxorubicin yielded greater inhibition of tumor growth than monotherapies alone. The best therapeutic results were obtained with the antivascular drug administered intratumorally every second day at 50 mg/kg body mass. In the case of combined therapy, the best results were obtained when the vascular-disruptive agent (CA4P) and the antineoplastic agent (liposomal doxorubicin) were administered in alternation.
