Early passages of cultured cells derived from four spontaneous Balb/c murine adenocarcinomas were used to explore the feasibility of a nonviral HSVtk-based suicide gene therapy system. After lipofection with pCMVtk, the transiently HSVtk expressing P07 (lung), M3, M05, and M38 (mammary gland) cells were, respectively, about 130-, 30-, 120-, and 170-fold more sensitive to ganciclovir (GCV) in vitro than their respective controls. Eighty percent of Balb/c mice subcutaneously inoculated with ex vivo pCMVtk-lipofected P07 cells, followed by intraperitoneal GCV injection for 7 days, displayed a complete inhibition of tumor growth for over 70 days. Control animals started to display tumors 13 days after inoculation. We present evidence showing that early passages of cultured tumor cells can efficiently express lipofected genes and that they are sensitive to the lipoplex-mediated HSVtk/GCV system.
