Aims of the work were construction and evaluation of recombinant adenoviral vectors for gene therapy of esophageal, hepatocellular and adrenocortical carcinomas in vitro and in vivo. Since adenoviruses have tropism for adrenal gland, human adrenocortical cells were used to assess the toxicity of replication competent adenovirus type 5 and replication incompetent adenoviral vectors. In this regard, the effects of adenoviral infection on adrenocortical gene expression, cell proliferation, cell cycle, cell death and steroidogenesis were investigated.

Abstract

Aims of the work were construction and evaluation of recombinant adenoviral vectors for gene therapy of esophageal, hepatocellular and adrenocortical carcinomas in vitro and in vivo. Since adenoviruses have tropism for adrenal gland, human adrenocortical cells were used to assess the toxicity of replication competent adenovirus type 5 and replication incompetent adenoviral vectors. In this regard, the effects of adenoviral infection on adrenocortical gene expression, cell proliferation, cell cycle, cell death and steroidogenesis were investigated.
