【Abstract】AIM:To construct the eukaryotic expression vector that specifically drives pro-caspase-7 by prostate-specific antigen promoter. By employing the prostate-specific antigen promoter (PSAP), we investigated whether PSAPdriven procaspase7 could induce death of prostate cancer cells and whether the cytotoxicity was restricted to cells of prostate origin. METHODS: We extracted genomic DNA from benign prostate tissues and obtained prostate specific antigen promoter(PSAP)fragment by polymerasechainreaction (PCR).Using gene technology, we replaced the pCMV on pCDNA3 by PSAP and obtained PSAPpCDNA3 vector. Then the pCMV on pIRES2EGFP and pIRES2EGFPCsp7 was replaced by PSAP after the confirmation of its sequence and PSAPpIRES2EGFP and PSAPpIRES2EGFPCsp7 eukaryotic expression vectors were obtained respectively. Lipofectionmediated gene transfers were performed with the two obtained vectors and a control plasmid, pIRES2EGFP, in human prostate cancer cell line PC3 m and 2 other cell lines (Hep2 [human cancer of larynx] and MC3T3 [mice fibroblast]). Light and electron microscopy were used to observe the proliferation and apoptosis of all cell lines. A PSAPdriven EGFP was also used to estimate the expression of the PSAPdriven transcripts. Immunohistochemistry methods were used to evaluate the expression of caspase7 protein. RESULTS: All the constructed vectors were verified by enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. After transfected with pIRES2EGFP, PC3 m, Hep2 and MC3T3 all showed green fluorescence. After transfected with PSAPpIRES2EGFP, only PC3m showed green fluorescence and no apoptosis cells appeared in all the three transfected groups. After transfected with PSAPcaspase7pIRES2EGFP, PC3 m showed the strong growth inhibition but the other two cell lines showed no changes. No caspase7 was detected in the Hep2 and MC3T3 cell lines after transfection. Morphologically, some of the PC3m transfected cells manifested apoptotic features. CONCLUSION: PSAPdriven procaspase7 gene therapy inhibits the growth of human prostate cancer cells and the cytotoxic effect is restricted to the cells of prostate origin. ......
